Hydrogen fuel-based technologies hold great promise in reducing carbon dioxide and toxic air emissions from mobile sources in meeting current clean air standards and proposed greenhouse gas reductions. 

Biofuels offer a number of technical and enviromnental benefits over conventional fossil fuels, which make them attractive as alternatives for the transport sector. The benefits include greenhouse gas reductions including reduced carbon dioxide emissions, which will contribute to domestic and international targets, the diversification of the fuel sector, biodegradability, sustainability, and an additional market for agricultural products. Biofuels help to protect and create jobs. Table 3.1 shows the major benefits of biofuels. 

Greenhouse Friendly . This is a product certification programme where the company needs to demonstrate how all emissions from the production and use of the product have been offset by other greenhouse gas reduction programmes being conducted by the company. A full life cycle assessment of all greenhouse gas emissions associated with the product needs to be conducted. 

Clean Development Mechanism, an arrangement under the Kyoto Protocol allowing industrialised countries with a greenhouse gas reduction commitment to invest in projects that reduce emissions in developing countries as an alternative to more expensive emission reductions in their own countries Conseil Europeen des Federations de I Industrie Chimique... 

Key information about each of the selected strategies, such as greenhouse gas reduction potential, a numerical score calculated by AirportGEAR based on the rating values for the evaluation criteria, unit cost of carbon in dollars per metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent reduced, and applicability to Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (indirect), and Scope 3 (other) emissions... 

Table ES-1. Greenhouse gas reduction strategies with the lowest estimated capital cost and high emission reduction potential.

Other emission reduction strategies may supplement, be compatible with, or frequently occur at the same time as the selected strategy. This section enables a user to cross-reference the strategies to enhance the overall greenhouse gas reduction plan.
