Alternative Clean Energies as Fuel Sources for Urban Transportations System (APA style)
Abstract
Over the past few decades, climate change has become increasingly serious. As the earth's temperature rises, glaciers will gradually melt, causing sea levels to become higher and higher, which will make seaside land submerged by the ocean, and many species will become extinct because they lose their habitat (May & Inc. Encyclopedia Britannica, 2008). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) appeals to protect the environment and keep the temperature rise within 1.5°C (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2018). However, only relying on people or the government is far from enough to save natural resources spontaneously and reduce pollution. Solving the problem of climate change requires technological development. One of the main causes of climate change is large amounts of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gas absorbs the energy reflected from the ground (Montzka et al., 2011), which means increased levels of greenhouse gas will warm the surface of the earth. Approximately 20% of global carbon dioxide emissions come from automobile exhaust emissions (Sierra at al., 2019). To reduce excessive greenhouse gas emissions, the emission of car exhaust must be reduced. Therefore, this paper aims to find which alternative energy solution would be the best to incorporate into the urban transportation system.
