Synonyms: Transport, Transportation, Low Carbon Transport
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

Synonyms: Fuel Cells, Fuel Cell
In a fuel cell, the chemical energy within the fuel is converted directly into electricity (with by-products of heat and water) without any mechanical drive or generator. This can result in high electrical conversion efficiencies and low emissions. The fuel cell may eventually replace a conventional gas boiler in a central heating system and can generate electricity with a higher efficiency than central power plant and, being located in the home, any waste heat can be used by the household, rather than dumped into the atmosphere.
