Climate and Transportation Solutions features the latest thinking
from leaders and experts on transportation, energy and climate
issues, bringing insights and recommendations from the 12th meeting
of the renowned Asilomar Conference on Transportation and Energy
Policy to a broad audience including researchers, policymakers, and
students interested in the future of energy and transportation.
Climate change is now widely recognized as the most critical
environmental problem facing the planet. Transportation is a major
cause of the problem, and it has a key role to play in its
solution. This book addresses whether it is possible to reduce
transport-related CO2 emissions by 50 to 80 percent by 2050, and
how this might be accomplished. The UC Davis Institute of
Transportation Studies organized the July 2009 Asilomar Conference
on behalf of the Energy, Alternative Fuels, and Sustainable
Transportation committees of the U.S. Transportation Research
Board, a research arm of the National Academies. This
invitation-only, three-day event hosted 200 of the most
sophisticated and knowledgeable experts and leaders on climate
policy and transportation from five continents. The chapters of
this book evolved from presentations and discussions at the
conference. Strategies for reducing GHG emissions from the
transportation sector can be categorized into three areas:
improving the efficiency of the vehicles, reducing the carbon
content in the fuel, and reducing vehicle use. This book addresses
the effects of energy use in transportation on global GHG emissions
and suggests new policies in each of these areas. The chapters
examine climate change and transportation issues and strategies in
specific regions of the world, address new policy approaches to
reduce GHG emissions, and examine the potential role for new fuels
and vehicle technologies in combating climate change.
