Wind
Engines and exhaust systems of cars
Geothermal
Biomass
Type of fuel
Hydro-energy
Land use competition with food production, intensive agriculture
Biofuels
Subisidize
From heavy fuel oil to marine diesel oil for ships
energy efficiency
Operational measures for ships and planes
improvement projects
Better routing and timing for ships
Better air traffic management (no waiting for landing)
Apply fossil fuel taxes to air traffic and shipping
Equity problem
Stop fossil fuel subsidies (weighs more heavily on poor population)
Increase taxes on vehicle purchase and registration, and on use of roads and car parks
