Globally, the transportation sector contributes about 25% of all CO2 emissions. In Norway , which is the world leader in renewable energy use, 45% of electricity comes from hydropower, while Brazil in second place gets 32% of its total energy supply from biofuel and waste energy. What is the potential for reducing emissions?

People have also looked at storing CO2 in old mineshafts, and the approaches that are most seriously looked at now, or already used in practice, actually, is storing CO 2 in old oil and gas-depleted reservoirs or in deep saltwater aquifers that are a couple kilometers below the surface. I don’t think anybody’s really considering that anymore.
