Decarbonising the Automotive Industry: Emissions Control and The Pursuit of Greener Vehicles

Published on: July 10, 2008

Over the last two decades, the automotive industry has been subjected to growing pressures to re-examine its vast environmental responsibilities. Most recently, increased demand for road transport coupled with the rising cost of crude oil has led for an even greater push toward fuel efficiency, alternative powertrain systems and redefined business strategy in order to reach a more conscientious consumer. Heightened regulations and government initiatives such as the King Review will continue to have a decisive impact on automobile design; consequently OEMs are confronted with the challenge of creating innovative product line-ups that are increasingly environmentally friendly and cost sensitive. It is crucial in a competitive environment such as the automotive industry to understand the latest trends, development strategies and technologies that have the potential to make both the long and short term goal of reduced transportation emissions a reality.

“Hydrogen & Fuel Cells For Clean Cities, Vehicles and Buildings” Conference

The Earth’s climate has changed many times during the planet’s history, with events ranging from ice ages to long periods of warmth. Historically, natural factors such as volcanic eruptions, changes in the Earth’s orbit, and the amount of energy released from the Sun have affected the Earth’s climate. Beginning late in the 18th century, human activities associated with the Industrial Revolution have also changed the composition of the atmosphere and therefore very likely are influencing the Earth’s climate. The Climate Change Solutions Ltd website provides information on climate change issues and information on “What You Can Do” to reduce your contribution.
