In terms of advocacy, this is tricky; people in the fossil fuel sector will doubtless claim that lower climate sensitivity means rapid reductions in fossil fuel use are not necessary, so they can go on with their plans for more gas and oil development without breaching the Paris Agreements, etc..

Consequently with the dramatic decrease in efficiency of fuel burn in the standby fossil fuel generators there is sweet FA practical reduction in CO2 emissions with the introduction of wind and solar power generation systems particularly when the energy costs of the producing and building the so called renewable energy systems are added to the grossly inefficient running of the ready to go to full generation capacity in minutes, fossil fuel powered standby generators which in many cases must be kept running at low or zero power generation to be able to come on line in minutes when the so called renewable energy systems fail to produce power,

These tools include so - called «inside the fenceline» measures — a range of technologies and fuel choices to reduce the emissions of the plant itself — and the ability to use credits reflecting the emission reductions that result from ramping up generation at cleaner plants.

«The potential is so large that more efforts are warranted, in order to achieve deep CO2 emission reductions, reduce fossil fuel dependence and increase industrial competitiveness,» Mr. Mandil concluded.

Because so little energy is required to cultivate crops such as switchgrass for cellulosic ethanol production, and because electricity can be co-produced using the residues of such cellulosic fuel production, reductions in greenhouse gas emissions for celluslosic ethanol when compared to gasoline are greater than 100 per cent.
