The IEA said that this reflects the continued domination of fossil fuels—particularly coal—in the energy mix and the slow uptake of other, lower-carbon supply technologies. Engine downsizing and weight reduction represent around 30% of that potential collectively. In 1990 the underlying carbon intensity of supply was 57.1

Alcohol fuels can also be produced from natural gas or coal. These extreme downsizing indicates the potential of a SI, knock-free engine, operating at the same peak pressure as the diesel engine and higher engine speeds. More modest downsizing up to 5 liters could offer a practical solution. In this manner a 3.6

Climate Change Coal Emissions Fuel Efficiency' This report marks the first time another company has bested Honda, which came in second this year but has earned every “Greenest Automaker” designation from UCS since 1998. UCS again assigned a score of 100 to the industry average, and index each automaker’s results to that average.

Large scale production of methanol from natural gas and coal is a well-developed. Sufficient feedstock of natural gas and coal exists to enable the use of non-renewable methanol as a transition fuel to renewable methanol from biomass, they suggested. Methanol from non-renewable coal or natural gas could be used as a bridging.

Where energy resources are concerned, lignite, hard coal and uranium figure principally in car production. For example, the iron demand is less because the share of steel is less, while the bauxite demand increases because of the higher light alloy share. The new C-Class shows a slightly higher level in this respect than its predecessor.

Vehicle downsizing could account for more than one-third of total projected fuel economy improvements through 2040. ExxonMobil projects that global electricity demand will rise by 80% through 2040 as economies and living standards improve, and consumers switch to electricity from other sources such as oil, coal or biomass.

“ But some scientists say that weaning the world off coal is crucial to slowing the devastating effects of climate change. In fact, what that limp-wristed closing sentence in their article on the Coen Brother’s new anti-coal commercial really does is carry water for Killer Coal. “ Really, Los Angeles Times?
