For example, the SEP calls for
reducing liquid fuel consumption by 2030 and increasing renewable energy's share of electricity generation to 8 % by 2010.
Reducing liquid fuels consumption by 50 + % could have to same results and more while redcuing associated pollution.
California is investing in solar and wind farms, but outsources a great deal of its electrical production (to «large» hydropower that the state officially does not recognize as «renewable»; and to fossil fuel)-- and Californians show little inclination to
reduce their liquid fuel consumption.

reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Although
liquid LPG injection generally produces more power, Holden justified vapour injection on the grounds of lower
fuel consumption, lower CO2 emissions,
reduced pumping and parasitic losses, and start - up reliability in hot weather.
Reducing CO2 to
liquid fuel may well be worth doing (it's certainly worth researching), but whether it makes sense in the larger picture needs to be discussed.
Oxidation of hydrocarbon to CO2 releases about 478 kJ / mol C. That's the minimum amount you need to
reduce CO2 to
liquid fuel assuming perfect conversion.
Nor does it apparently intend to directly, materially *
reduce * the CO2 in the atmosphere (i.e. the reason for «creating»
liquid hydrocarbon
fuels would primarily be for transportation, so burning them would re-release the CO2, uncaptured, back into the atmosphere).
But photosynthesis is only a few percents efficient (often just 1 %), and then the refining process to harvest the crops and then extract their sugars and turn them into
liquid fuel further
reduces efficiency.
It is now necessary to start
reducing the cost of
liquid fuels with their production from coal.
Over the longer term, a larger and more
liquid LNG market can compensate for
reduced flexibility elsewhere in the energy system (for example, lower
fuel - switching capacity in some countries as coal - fired generation is retired).
The bulky heavy tank and
reduced range are not attractive, so
liquid fuels with the same infrastructure range and convenience make more sense.
Bullfrog Power's green
fuel is an earth - friendly, renewable alternative to
liquid fossil
fuel, allowing climate - conscious Canadians to
reduce the environmental impact of their transportation.
Achieving 100 % renewable «total energy» — for power, transport and heat — will require us to
reduce unsustainable demand (overconsumption), as well as increasing energy efficiency, and shifting our transport and heating systems from
liquid and gas
fuels to electrical power.

Operating cost for electric cars is $ 0.50 to $ 0.75 per mile versus $ 0.10 for gasoline powered cars once battery replacement costs are included By 2020, Chinese PER CAPITA emissions will be higher than America's Does not believe that the 0.6 degree temperature rise to date is the West's «fault,» but does believe that China is the future problem Whatever U.S. does about emissions reduction and what people do as individuals is totally trivial in face of the fact that China is adding huge amounts of coal fired generating capacity The most meaningful emissions reduction strategy today would be to convert China from coal to natural gas The claim that there are more frequent or more intense hurricanes and tornadoes as a result of AGW is not scientifically supported We can
reduce emissions, but it is important that we do the RIGHT things (and NOT the WRONG ones) Not worried about «peak oil;» coal can be converted to
liquid fuel
Marine vessels, long - haul trucks, and airplanes will need to rely on lower carbon
liquid fuels to
reduce their carbon emissions.
Most studies project that second - generation
liquid biofuels from perennial crops and woody and agricultural residues could dramatically
reduce life cycle greenhouse gas emissions relative to petroleum
fuels.
With a tech that runs on
liquid fuels, the only opportunity to
reduce carbon emissions is at the end of the lifecycle, when it is replaced.
DOE is seeking to facilitate creative, broad - application solutions to

The use of nuclear energy to produce
liquid fuels is very economic at this point of time, and whilst the production of hydrogen from nuclear electricity is expensive the cost can be
reduced by using high temperature steam from nuclear reactors for high temperature electrolysis.
