in the transportation sector in the Northeast region, through electrification, efficiency, and clean fuels.
A massive expansion of land use for sugar cane growth in Brazil, and a subsequent increase in ethanol production with the feedstock could reduce global carbon dioxide emissions
in the transportation sector by up to 86 percent of 2014 levels, according to research published in the October issue of the journal Nature Climate Change.
By 2035, cellulosic ethanol and / or coal - and - biomass - to - liquid (CBTL) fuels with carbon capture and storage could replace about 15 % of current fuel
consumption in the transportation sector (1.7 — 2.5 million barrels per day of gasoline - equivalent) with near - zero lifecycle CO2 emissions, according to the report.
Third, the likely change from internal combustion engines to electric
vehicles in the transportation sector also effectively links transportation, and its fuel use, to the electricity generation sector and its fuel use (renewable or fossil fuel based).
Bracknell, UK, 24 July 2012 — Diversified technology company 3M addresses vandalism and graffiti
issues in the transportation sector with two new overlaminates designed to protect train graphics and surfaces from damage caused by spray painting, felt tip markers and other methods.
He promised the audience that although the change desired by Nigerians could not possibly happen in just one year, they would soon start to see an
improvement in the transportation sector, as a lot of work going on in the background.

future in the transportation sector will take considerably longer.
But two leaders of a major energy study maintain in Issues that fuel economy standards, combined with carefully crafted fuel taxes, represent the nation's most practical bet for cutting energy use and funding
infrastructure in the transportation sector.
The Environmental Protection Agency's proposed Clean Power Plan already calls for existing power plants to trim emissions by 30 percent from 2005 levels by 2030, and the administration is looking to use the EPA to force further improvements in fuel
efficiency in the transportation sector, among other measures.
