The measurements provide the most detailed look at carbon emissions for a specific urbanized and industrialized region of China to date. Fuel combustion releases energy by converting carbon to CO 2 , but some is only converted to CO, losing some of the available chemical energy.

An added benefit of the conversion program is that it not only reduces pollution but also extends the life of the vehicles, helping to eliminate waste production and creating a reduce-and-reuse program. As a result of these efforts, FedEx Express has saved 45 million gallons of fuel or 452,573 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

It also showed that global annual emissions of greenhouse gases increased from 24 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents in 1970 to 33 billion tonnes in 1990 and 41 billion tonnes in 2005. Carbon dioxide showed the greatest growth, but levels of gases such as methane and nitrous oxide have also increased.

These areas store 579 megatonnes (million tones) of biological carbon, mostly in peatlands. When the carbon in soils, peat and trees breaks down, it combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide (CO 2 ).

The ClearFuels technology can convert multiple cellulosic biomass feedstocks such as sugarcane bagasse and virgin wood waste into clean synthesis gas (syngas) suitable for integration with synthetic gas-to-liquids technologies. The renewable synthetic diesel and jet fuels produced can also have carbon footprints of near zero.

The main study shows that under all nine scenarios for both rates of market penetration of PHEVs and the evolving power grids characteristics (capacity/carbon intensity), PHEVs will vastly reduce greenhouse gases for the next 40 years. A PHEV with only a 20-mile all-electric range is 62% lower (see printed page 95 in the 2004 study ).
