That is not a valid answer to my questions about the costs of the fuels, quantities that are being supplied now, can be supplied in 2050 and 2100 as a proportion of total
transport fuel demand, area required.
The E.U.'s target calls for using biofuels to meet 10 percent of
transport fuel demand.

demand for
transport fuels, growth opportunities in low - carbon technologies, and diversifying into power generation to secure
demand for natural gas.»
According to the International Air
Transport Association (IATA), a global airlines trade group, the industry is set to post a collective $ 33 billion in net profits this year — a record — on
fuel cost savings and stronger passenger flight
demand.
Of course, the goal of a sustainable
transport system
demands not only zero carbon emissions during driving but also during the production and distribution of the
fuel, be it electricity or hydrogen.
There is also some apprehension that the ease of these options would increase people's
demand for
transport, thus increasing the
demand for
fuels.
Simply moving production of goods to countries much further than where the
demand is only acts to increase the need to
transport them a longer distance — which in turn also burns more fossil
fuels.
Higher
fuel prices was a common answer; we can't keep making
fuel and
transport cheaper, not only because we have run out of money but because that just raises the
demand for power and weight.
This study looks at the impact of low - carbon transformations in power and road
transport, sectors which together account for just 50 % of global fossil
fuel demand and CO2 emissions approximately.
There are a number of
transport emissions reduction policy measures that Congress could pursue, but the one that will have the most immediate impact is the one that will
demand more from those modes of transportation that are currently the most
fuel and carbon efficient — like passenger rail.
The choices are domestic heating, on -
demand generation,
transport fuel or industrial use (biomethane can do any of them, syngas is poisonous so is more limited).
The combination of plug - in hybrids and bio-deisel (a much more energy - efficient
fuel to make than ethanol) could significantly reduce developed world
demand for oil for passenger
transport.
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.
Plans for liquid natural gas (LNG) exports, compressed natural gas (CNG) as a heavy
transport fuel, and problems with hydrofracking in the shale all suggest supply will be challenged by
demand, driving prices higher.
According to new data published by the European Environment Agency (EEA), the 0.5 % increase happened largely due to increasing
demand for
transport — better
fuel efficiency in the sector was not enough to offset this.
It's a multi-prong approach to reach this goal, which would include Passive House construction along with Decent House / site generation and other efforts contributing to
demand destruction, coupled with a shift in
transport to non petroleum based
fuels (electric vehicles and etc.) Since our focus here is on housing, I really would like to see Decent House scale up for the huge existing housing stock inventory yet to be touched by this approach, along with Passive House lessons applied to new construction, where the basic concept is to shift the burden of maintaining a comfortable, healthy living space toward the envelope, while reducing the intensity of HVAC required.
Just so I can get my head around what you are advocating, can you tell me what area would be required to produce the world's
transport fuels, both current and projected future
demand?
Peter Lang, «Biofuels can not make a significant contribution to world
demand for
transport fuels, now or in the future.
Another chart shows the seemingly constant growth in global
demand for
transport fuels, in kilotonnes of oil equivalent:
Asia leads this growth due to the rising
demand for
transport fuel, the availability of feedstocks, and supportive government policies.

demanded a reversal of unsustainable trends in the
transport sector, for example by forcing carmakers to make more
