PROMOTING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR THE TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY WILL BENEFIT THE WELFARE OF HUMANKIND.
WITH THE QUICKLY DEPLETING FOSSIL FUEL reserve and increasing environmental hazards due to their burning, alternative energy sources have been highly debated and researched in the past decade. A cause of concern for the transportation industry is that the transportation industry not only uses a high percentage of petroleum products produced, but it also contributes a significant amount to carbon and climate problems. The beginning of the 21st century has brought high investments in climate-change and carbon-control areas by various governments, which have been at the center of world politics, resulting in a variety of alternative energies being researched around the world.
The Kyoto Protocol is currently the most important climate-change agreement among the world's various countries, with climate change and carbon control the focus of much research.
