GPHY 319 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: Biofuel, Cellulosic Ethanol, Emission Intensity
Document Summary
Key regions to focus on: ontario (largest population, most sprawl issues, legacy manufacturing) (cid:884)(cid:885)% of canada"s emissions, more than (cid:884)(cid:885)% of the, alberta (fossil fuel industry, growing population, sprawl issues) population. Worse than the us on a per capita basis second to australia. Hydro, nuclear: get rid of coal fired generators by 2020, replace with solar, wind and storage, electrify 90% of the light-duty fleet by 2040, vehicle replacement. Green diesel (probably will not be electric) renewable electricity. 100% switch to renewable electricity investments in expanded electrical grids, run off renewables, to support applications as well as transportation, heating. 100% switch to renewable fuels: power heavy duty transport, air, marine with carbon neutral biofuels (means no fossil inputs) coupled with strong conservation move to reduce km travelled. Re direct oil from fuel to materials: oil sector is too important to eliminate, but energy products should be given up in favour of durables (plastics, building materials) to help economy grow.
