This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's economy and lifestyles have been shaped by the low prices and availability of energy. In the last decade, however, the prices of oil, natural gas, and coal have increased dramatically, leaving consumers and the industrial and service sectors looking for ways to reduce energy use. To achieve greater energy efficiency, we need technology, more informed consumers and producers, and investments in more energy-efficient industrial processes, businesses, residences, and transportation. As part of the America's Energy Future project, Real Prospects for Energy Efficiency in the United States examines the potential for reducing energy demand through improving efficiency by using existing technologies, technologies developed but not yet utilized widely, and prospective technologies. The book evaluates technologies based on their estimated times to initial commercial deployment, and provides an analysis of costs, barriers, and research needs. This quantitative characterization of technologies will guide policy makers toward planning the future of energy use in America. This book will also have much to offer to industry leaders, investors, environmentalists, and others looking for a practical diagnosis of energy efficiency possibilities.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy supplies and prices have been recognized as an important international problem ever since the Arab oil embargo of 1973-74. Transportation has been looked upon as one area where considerable conservation could be achieved because as much as 40% of all energy consumed in the US is used to move goods and people. The participants in this discussion represented a diverse set of viewpoints, which contributed to a lively exchange of views on the problems of transportation and energy conservation.

Committee for a Study of Potential Energy Savings and Greenhouse Gas Reductions from Transportation and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2011 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not intended to model or quantify the impacts of each policy option over time but instead to examine the means by which each influences behavior and the demand for and supply of energy- and emissions-saving technology, particularly in the modes of transportation with the greatest effect on the sector's consumption of petroleum and emissions of GHGs. In choosing among policies, elected officials must take into account many factors that could not be examined in this study, such as the full range of safety, economic, and environmental implications of their choices; therefore, the report does not recommend a specific suite of policies to pursue. Instead, the emphasis is on assessing each policy approach with regard to its applicability across transportation modes and its ability to affect the total amount of energy-intensive transportation activity, the efficiency of transportation vehicles, and GHG emissions characteristics of the sector's energy supply.

Download or read book Policy Implications of Greenhouse Warming written by National Academy of Engineering and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 945 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global warming continues to gain importance on the international agenda and calls for action are heightening. Yet, there is still controversy over what must be done and what is needed to proceed. Policy Implications of Greenhouse Warming describes the information necessary to make decisions about global warming resulting from atmospheric releases of radiatively active trace gases. The conclusions and recommendations include some unexpected results. The distinguished authoring committee provides specific advice for U.S. policy and addresses the need for an international response to potential greenhouse warming. It offers a realistic view of gaps in the scientific understanding of greenhouse warming and how much effort and expense might be required to produce definitive answers. The book presents methods for assessing options to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, offset emissions, and assist humans and unmanaged systems of plants and animals to adjust to the consequences of global warming.

This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of energy for transport was recognised in Report No. 1 published by The Watt Committee on Energy in 1977.Two features of transport energy use are its magnitude (approximately 22% of the UK total) and its vulnerability to oilsupplies (nearly 50% of our oil supply). There have been several excellent conferences elsewhere since then on newtechnology and the future designs of aircraft, ships and railway trains but there seemed a need to consider all transport modestogether. In assessing substitution of energy sources there is a tendency also to consider substitution of transport modes, butthis is a complex matter and such substitutions will be slow and generally costly. There are historic instances of such changes, e.g. from sail to steam at sea in the 19th Century, from coal to oil on the railways in the 1950s and from petrol enginedaircraft to kerosene powered jets in the 50s and 60s. Such changes take place over a time span of decades. Some transportvehicles have a normal replacement time of 30 years, a few longer still, hence it is a vital matter to match any major transportresponse to future energy changes to the appropriate time scale

Committee on a Study of Potential Energy Savings and Greenhouse Gas Reduction from Transportation and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRB Special Report 307: Policy Options for Reducing Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions from U.S. Transportation examines the potential for policies to yield major changes in transportation energy use and emissions trends by policy measures targeting cars and light trucks, medium and heavy trucks, and commercial airliners. These three modes are by far the largest users of energy by U.S. transportation because they account for the vast majority of passenger trips and freight. According to the committee that produced the report, it will take more than tougher fuel economy standards for U.S. transportation to significantly cut national petroleum use over the next half century. It will likely require a combination of measures that foster consumer and supplier interest in vehicle fuel economy, alternative fuels, and a more efficient transportation system. Major policy options examined in the report-fuel taxes, vehicle efficiency standards, fuel standards, infrastructure investments, and coordinated transportation and land use planning-have the potential to bring about large energy and emissions savings from these modes over time; however, each option presents particular challenges with respect to the scope and timing of its impacts. The report suggests that combining transportation policy options to increase the timeliness and expand the scale and scope of the response may be warranted. Saving energy in transportation can have important implications for the cost of securing the world's oil supplies, since transportation accounts for most of the petroleum consumed in the United States. It can also help with controlling the buildup of greenhouse gases (GHGs), which will require major reductions in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from economic sectors that are heavy users of carbon-rich fossil fuels. Scientific analyses and models indicate a need to stabilize atmospheric concentrations of CO2 and other GHGs by the middle of this century to reduce the risks of climate change. A response by the transportation sector to this energy and emissions challenge will be important because it produces between one-quarter and one-third of all of the CO2 emitted from the country's energy consumption."--Publisher's website.

Book excerpt: This paper examines energy saving opportunities in the transportation sector through 2010. Projections of transportation energy use have been prepared for the Department of Transportation (DOT), using the same input data and assumptions as those used for the Annual Report to Congress, 1980, but with a modified transportation sector as specified by DOT. This analysis, also conducted at the request of DOT, would be of interest to those concerned with future transportation energy needs, possible efficiency improvements in the transportation sector, or energy conservation efforts. Five energy forecasts are analyzed. A scenario assuming moderate efficiency improvements in the transportation sector is analyzed for low, middle, and high world oil prices. Two additional sensitivity cases (using the middle oil price assumption) are presented based on different rates of efficiency improvement. This report describes the DOT representation of the transportation sector, presents base case projections for energy use and transportation services, and then compares the base case results with forecasts from sensitivity cases.
