SUSTAINABLE ENERGY: TRANSPORTATION
UNITED STATES POPULATION 300 MILLIONMOTORIZED VEHICLES~300 MILLIONTRANSPORTATION ENERGY CONSUMPTION ~32 % OF TOTAL U. S. ENERGY USE, OF WHICH ~98% IS FROM PETROLEUM
UNITED STATES LIGHT VEHICLE FLEET~230 MILLIONENERGY CONSUMPTION BY LIGHT VEHICLE FLEET =~24% OF TOTAL ENERGY USE, OF WHICH ~99+% COMES FROM PETROLEUMCARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS FROM LIGHT VEHICLE FLEET = ~22% OF TOTAL U. S. EMISSIONS
ENERGY ISSUES SHORT TERM: PRICE OF PETROLEUM POLLUTIONLONGER TERM: SUPPLY SECURITY SUPPLY SUSTAINABILITY GLOBAL WARMING PRICE
BASIS FOR AN ENERGY POLICY 1. NON-RENEWABLE (FOSSIL OR NUCLEAR) ENERGY SOURCES ARE FINITE. 2.THEIR USE REDUCESTHE AMOUNT AVAILABLE IN THE FUTURE.
3. THE LESSEFFICIENTLY A FINITE SOURCE IS USED, THE MORE ITS FUTURE SUPPLY IS REDUCED. 4. THEREFORE, AN ENERGY POLICY SHOULD TEND TOWARD THE MOST EFFICIENT USE OF NON-RENEWABLE SOURCES.
5. USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES DOES NOT REDUCE THE FUTURE AMOUNT OF THE SOURCE.6. THE ONLY WAY TO REACH A SUSTAINABLE ENERGY DOMAIN IN THE LONG TERM IS TO BASE IT ON RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES.
DOES THIS MEAN THAT EFFICIENCY IS NOT IMPORTANT FOR RENEWABLES?NO!BUT, IT IS IMPORTANT IN A DIFFERENT WAY, BECAUSE EFFICIENCY AFFECTS THE COST OF THE SYSTEM AND OF THE ENERGY.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY • ENERGY EFFICIENCY MUST BE DETERMINED FROM “IN THE GROUND” THROUGH “END USE.”2. FOR TRANSPORTATION THIS IS CALLED A “WELL TO WHEEL” ANALYSIS.
WELL TO TANK WELL: FUEL SOURCE IN THE GROUND • PRODUCTION • TRANMISSION • CONVERSION • REFINING • DISTRIBUTION • STORAGE • DISPENSING TO TANK
TANK TO WHEEL FUEL IN THE TANK TO TANK • ENGINE • LOAD FACTOR • WEIGHT, IDLE • & RECOVERY FACTOR • TRANSMISSION TO WHEELS
EFFICIENCY OF MULTISTEP PROCESS SINGLE STEP: ENERGY IN, Ei-1 STEP i, EFFICIENCY= ηi= Ei / Ei-1 ENERGY OUT, Ei
N-STEP, MULTI-STEP OVERALL EFFICIENCY ηO = EN / E0 = (E1/ E0)* (E2/E1)…*…*(EN/EN-1) i = N= Π(ηi) i = 0
EXAMPLE: SUPPOSE THAT THE EFFICIENCY OF EACH STEP IN A 4-STEP PROCESS IS 70 PERCENT, WHAT IS THE OVERALL EFFICIENCY?
ηO = (70)*(70)*(70)*(70) = 24 E 06 ??? Ooops!η is ratio of energy in to energy out, not 100 times that!! Therefore,ηO=(0.7)*(0.7)* (0.7)* (0.7) = 0.2401 = 24%

SUMMARARY & CONCLUSIONS 1. THERE ARE VECHICLESAND FUEL TECHNOLOGIES THAT CAN DRASTICALLY REDUCE GASOLINE USAGE AND CO2 EMISSIONS.2. ALL NEW TECHNOLOGIES HAVE PROBLEMS.3. WE SHOULD NOT RELY ON ONE APROACH.
4. START NOW! IT WILLTAKE 20+ YEARS TOPHASE-IN NEW TECHNOLOGIES. 5. ETHANOL-FUELEDHYBRIDS AND PLUG-IN HYBRIDS ARE THE MOST ATTRACTIVE OPTIONS NOW. THEY CAN REDUCE GASOLINE USE AND CO2 EMISSIONS BY A FACTOR OF ~4.6. RENEWABLE TECHNOLOGIES, OFFER GREAT POTENTIAL.
