UK will ban new petrol cars by 2030 on road to net zero emissions.
The United Kingdom will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans from 2030, five years earlier than previously planned, as part of what Prime Minister Boris Johnson is casting as a “green revolution” to cut emissions to net-zero by 2050.
The United Kingdom last year became the first G7 country to set in law a net-zero emission target by 2050, which will require wholesale changes in the way Britons travel, use energy and eat.
In total, the plan would mobilise 12 billion pounds ($16bn) of government money, with as much as three times that amount coming from the private sector, and create and support 250,000 highly skilled green jobs by 2030, Johnson said.
The new date for a ban on new petrol and diesel cars is five years earlier than the 2035 pledge made by Johnson in February.
Thank you very much for writing such an interesting article on this topic. This has really made me think and I hope to read more. Petrol in a diesel car by mistake and drove it
