Britain calls on the EU to include the transportation sector in the emissions trading scheme which is current set up to impose CO2 emissions limits on 12,000 factories and power stations. The transportation and aircraft industries, two of the larger sources of carbon emissions, are not currently included in the scheme.

Reuters story from Christiaan Hetzner on automakers, internationally, and their level of interest and commitment to biofuels as alternates to gas, diesel fuel and liquid petroleum gas (LPG).
Car makers are having to cover at least two new bases while transitioning from standard fuel engines to fuel cells, which are the likely long term winners. In the transition period, car makers will need to satisfy a burgeoning number of drivers and commuters who will be migrating to both hybrid fuel vehicles and traditional engines modified to run on ethanol. On top of getting it right on the fuel technology choice to spend money and production on is directing research at squeezing greater fuel efficiency out of traditional and biofuel engines without sacrificing too much on performance.
