IEA working paper highlights potential role of natural gas in reducing global road transport CO2

Green Car Congress

On average, a 25% reduction in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) emissions can be expected on a well-to-wheel (WTW) basis when replacing gasoline by light-duty vehicles (LDVs) running on compressed natural gas (CNG). Investments in grids are likely to take place only where other sectors can also benefit from natural gas supply.

Additionally, few of current harvesting and dewatering technologies available today are amenable to scaling for larger production scenarios of 1,000 acre or larger algal farms. Algae cultures tend to be relatively dilute, and the energy requirement to remove water from the cultures can be a significant portion of the energy balance.

Nuclear waste is a problem much harder to solve than CO2, and dams have quite an impact in the environment.
