This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of energy for transport was recognised in Report No. 1 published by The Watt Committee on Energy in 1977.Two features of transport energy use are its magnitude (approximately 22% of the UK total) and its vulnerability to oilsupplies (nearly 50% of our oil supply). There have been several excellent conferences elsewhere since then on newtechnology and the future designs of aircraft, ships and railway trains but there seemed a need to consider all transport modestogether. In assessing substitution of energy sources there is a tendency also to consider substitution of transport modes, butthis is a complex matter and such substitutions will be slow and generally costly. There are historic instances of such changes, e.g. from sail to steam at sea in the 19th Century, from coal to oil on the railways in the 1950s and from petrol enginedaircraft to kerosene powered jets in the 50s and 60s. Such changes take place over a time span of decades. Some transportvehicles have a normal replacement time of 30 years, a few longer still, hence it is a vital matter to match any major transportresponse to future energy changes to the appropriate time scale

Book excerpt: Energy, Demand and Planning brings together a group of distinguished authors from many relevant disciplines, under the auspices of the Watt Committee on Energy. The authors were asked to consider the effects of policy decisions that might be taken now on the planning of the world energy industries in the coming half-century or so. Discussion is held on such key topics as technological change, sustainable development, global warming and the effects of population growth, all of which require policy decisions at national and international levels, affecting the daily lives of people in both advanced and developing countries.

Committee for a Study of Potential Energy Savings and Greenhouse Gas Reductions from Transportation and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2011 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not intended to model or quantify the impacts of each policy option over time but instead to examine the means by which each influences behavior and the demand for and supply of energy- and emissions-saving technology, particularly in the modes of transportation with the greatest effect on the sector's consumption of petroleum and emissions of GHGs. In choosing among policies, elected officials must take into account many factors that could not be examined in this study, such as the full range of safety, economic, and environmental implications of their choices; therefore, the report does not recommend a specific suite of policies to pursue. Instead, the emphasis is on assessing each policy approach with regard to its applicability across transportation modes and its ability to affect the total amount of energy-intensive transportation activity, the efficiency of transportation vehicles, and GHG emissions characteristics of the sector's energy supply.

Download or read book Energy and Transport written by George H. Daniels and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1982-09 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy and Transport analyzes the history of energy use and regulation from the nineteenth century through to the present, as represented by broad policy and consumption in the individual household. The relationship between energy and the evolution of energy policies, and the relationship between fuels and environmental pollution are historically reviewed. Thus these thirteen essays shed much historical light on current energy debates and root out persistent myths about energy use. '...this volume is in many respects a pioneering effort. One hopes it will stimulate further research into the wide range of questions it addresses.' -- Science, 17th June 1983 'The editors of this book have succeeded in gatherin
