The plan as outlined also calls for further work on advanced biofuels, advanced batteries and fuel cell technologies in every transportation mode. In coming months, the plan notes, the Department of Transportation will work with other agencies to further explore strategies for integrating alternative fuel vessels into the US flag fleet.

A team of researchers in China suggest that, in the context of promoting the use of clean fuel vehicles and increasing vehicle fuel efficiency, CO 2 emissions of China’s urban passenger transport sector could reach a peak of 225 MtCO 2 in 2030. Shifting to the alternative fuels also plays an important role.

Under Assembly Bill 32 passed in 2006, California must reduce its emissions to 1990 levels (431 million metric tons) by 2020. Due to the carbon price signal created by the Cap-and-Trade Program that makes fossil fuel generation more expensive, cleaner out-of-state electricity is increasingly taking the place of fuels such as coal.

The California LCFS calls for at least a 10% reduction from 2006 levels in the carbon intensity (measured in gCO 2 e/MJ) of California’s transportation fuels by 2020. Discouraging these fuels will simply increase costs while failing to prevent their export to and consumption by other nations. Earlier post.). LCFS Complaint.

Under the central New Policies Scenario, automotive sales in non-OECD markets exceed those in the OECD by 2020, with the center of gravity of car manufacturing shifting to non-OECD countries before 2015. The share of fossil fuels in global primary energy consumption falls from around 81% today to 75% in 2035.

Today, we launch the most ambitious European energy project since the Coal and Steel Community. More than €1 trillion needs to be invested into the energy sector in EU by 2020 alone. Collectively, the EU spent more than €120 billion (US$136 billion) per year—directly or indirectly—on energy subsidies, often not justified.
