CO2 - what is the Issue

Increased human activity and consequent energy use raise the level of CO₂ in the atmosphere, which is one of the greenhouse gases said to contribute to Global Warming.

The globalisation process has lead to a dramatic increase in trade and thus transport, and therefore to an increase in fuel use and consequently CO₂ emissions.

Reducing CO₂ emissions is a global issue and everyone needs to take their respective responsibilities.

Commercial road transport is and will remain dependent on oil with no economically viable alternative in sight. A comparison of energy characteristics of various fuels shows that to obtain the same operating efficiency of a truck using diesel fuel, all existing alternative fuels require much heavier and larger tanks than diesel tanks. In other words, by running on alternative fuels, a truck would have to carry additional fuel weight instead of transporting goods.
