You can add your own description here to help people understand what 'carbon emissions' means

Transport is responsible for a large proportion of carbon emissions. As high carbon fossil fuels are largely used to power all types of transport - from road to rail, marine to aviation - carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Using public transport and technologies to improve energy efficiency, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, bio fuels and fuel cell vehicles are all vital components in helping to reduce our carbon emissions from transport. - Description added by: David Lockie

Energy efficiency is widely regarded as the most important first step in making the transition to a low carbon economy. Whilst renewable energy and other measures are also vital components, energy efficiency ensures that valuable energy - whether it be heating, cooling, or electricity - is not wasted. There are numerous energy efficiency technologies, from insulation materials to a plethora of more efficient electrical devices, and more energy efficient vehicles. Explore these pages to find energy efficiency solutions that are right for you. - Description added by: David Lockie

Renewable and alternative energy sources are set to play an increasingly important role in providing the electricity, heat, cooling and fuels that society needs. There is a wide range of energy sources such as solar (both photovoltaic and solar thermal), wind, bio-fuels and biomass, hydro-electric, geothermal and heat pumps. - Description added by: David Lockie
