Nature Newsthe state of California has adopted regulations to curb greenhouse-gas emissions from transportation fuels,
He says the policy should send a signal to the private sector and drive clean transportation fuels and infrastructure into the market.

The document specifically cited greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles as a danger to public health. California Democrat Barbara Boxer, who handles climate regulation in the Senate as chairwoman of the Environment and Public works Committee
That's the equivalent of five years of emissions from the entire transportation sector in Canada, says Carroll.
Crucially, they find that this difference does not merely stem from the fact that reserves have fewer roads in them.
Almost 90%of the hot pixels were less than 10 kilometres from roads, mainly because these parts of the forest are more accessible.
But there were always far fewer fires near roads inside reserves than outside them. The reserves have a very big impact,
According to the study, published in PLOS One today1, this remains true even after the effects of roads,

Bioelectricity better than biofuels for transport: Nature Newsvehicles propelled by biomass-fired electricity would travel farther on a given crop
and produce fewer greenhouse-gas emissions than vehicles powered by ethanol, researchers report today. Burning biomass to produce electricity is generally more efficient than converting it into ethanol.
And electric vehicles although often more expensive to make and maintain than many vehicles with internal combustion engines are also more efficient at converting that energy into motion.
In the current study, the researchers, led by Elliott Campbell of the University of California, Merced, modelled the entire system all the way from crop cultivation to vehicle propulsion,
comparing cumulative greenhouse-gas emissions for both biofuels and bioelectricity. They found that the bioelectric route came out ahead of both corn ethanol
In all cases, the electricity pathway uses a lot less land to achieve the same amount of transportation.
suggests that, on average, an electric vehicle powered by biomass will travel 81%farther than an internal-combustion vehicle powered by cellulosic ethanol
Yeh says that the study bolsters California's approach to reducing emissions in the transportation sector.
which include electric transport. By contrast, US fuel policy is focused on biofuels. The federal mandate ramps up from 9 billion gallons of biofuels in 2008 (compared with almost 138 billion gallons of gasoline) to 36 billion gallons of biofuels by 2022.
but made no provision for electric transport. However, there are proposals to deploy something like California's low carbon fuel standard at the national level.
Jeremy Martin, a senior researcher at the WASHINGTON DC office of the Union of Concerned Scientists, says it's too early to tell how successful electric vehicles will be or
The paper helpfully demonstrates that there is more than one technology pathway that can put the agricultural sector to work in the transportation sector
When the environment changes, the very range of responses that previously constituted'adaptability'may become an evolutionary liability instead, notes Donna Holmes, an evolutionary biologist at Washington state University in Pullman,
All told, the project would reduce the otherwise expected greenhouse-gas emissions by 3. 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent to taking more than half a million vehicles off the road for one year at a cost of just more than $5 per tonne.

And later that year, Congress issued a federal mandate to produce 61 billion litres of cellulosic biofuels annually for transportation by 2022.
which requires that 10%of transport energy come from renewable sources by 2020, has not set a specific goal for cellulosic fuel.
Obama proposes greenhouse-gas standards for vehicles: Nature Newsthe Obama administration released new automobile standards on Tuesday, proposing regulations that would curb greenhouse-gas emissions and ratchet up fuel-efficiency standards beginning in 2012.
Released jointly by the US Environmental protection agency (EPA) and Department of transportation, the regulations would effectively increase fuel efficiency standards by nearly 40 percent, to more than 35.5 miles per gallon (about 15 kilometres per litre) in 2016.
000 over the lifetime of a vehicle produced in 2016. The proposal would create a single national standard that is consistent with earlier regulations that were proposed by the state of California but blocked by the administration of former president George w bush.
The regulations are rooted in a 2007 Supreme court finding that the EPA has the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles.
The fuel efficiency standards, issued under the Department of transportation, are slightly less stringent and retain loopholes in the current regulatory system.
and to take extra credit for reduced gasoline consumption by'flex-fuel'vehicles, even though those vehicles seldom run on high-ethanol blends.
But by 2016, automakers will have to comply with the more stringent of the two, which effectively means that the greenhouse gas standards take over,
