Transportation is large percentage of greenhouse gas emissions.
Most transportation uses petroleum. Transportation use has increased globally. Reducing transportation emissions is high
priority but challenging. At some point, oil demand will be larger than
supply (peak oil)

Compare the cost of driving a car in the USA versus Denmark
Consider annual costs assuming a new car lasts 10 years.
The annual cost of operating a car in Denmark compared to the US is
1. About the same
2. About double the cost
3. About four times the cost
4. About half the cost
5. About a fourth of the cost

Average car costs $20,000 or $2000 per year Insurance costs $500 per year Average # of miles is 10,000 per year
– USA: $4.00/gallon: – USA: 25 miles/gallon– USA: 400 gallons = $1600 per year– USA: Fees= (9% tax, $1300 purchase, $100 reg/yr): $400/yr– USA Total (per year): $4500 per year– Denmark: $5.93/gallon– Denmark: 45 miles/gallon– Denmark: 222 gallons=$1300 per year– Denmark: Fees= (25% tax, $21000 purchase, $600 reg/yr):

Reduce transportation– Alternative methods (public transport, bike,
walk) Improve efficiency
– Lighter cars, less power, electric engines Use alternative energy
– Fuel cell– Biofuels

What is the least energy efficient way to get to Los Angeles from SF?
1. Bicycle
2. Auto – Sedan (single passenger)
3. Auto – Sedan (multiple passengers)
4. Airplane
What emits the least amount of CO2 per mile
1. Bicycle
2. Electric auto
3. Depends on the type of electricity
4. Depends on the type of food one eats to power the bicycle
5. 3 and 4 are correct.
