11. Recognises the fact that road transport has brought down considerably its emissions of particulate matter (PM 10), acidifying substances and ozone precursors, but is still worried about its level of nitrogen oxides and of fine particulates (Term report 2008, fig. 5.1). Is however particularly disappointed about its CO2 emissions, which in the period from 1990 - 2006 increased by 28 %, compared to a reduction of 3 % in the other sectors. Considers that the impact of black carbon (soot) particles on global warming should also be taken into account and that particle filtration should be recommended to eliminate that impact in order to at least partly compensate for the increase or insufficient reduction of CO2 emissions. Calls for freight ...[+++]traffic to be gradually transferred off the roads and onto rail and other energy efficient transport means, pending the construction of new railway lines that are compatible with the existing network's capacity. Calls, in addition, for the building of new interport facilities to be incentivised (which could improve the process of transferring freight from road to rail) and for the functionality of currently existing facilities to be improved;

In terms of reducing nitrous oxide, or greenhouse gases, our industry has taken a leadership role in developing a nitrous oxide emission reduction protocol to compensate Canadian farmers with GHG offsets for reducing their on-farm nitrous oxide emissions.

BX. whereas specific climate objectives – such as binding requirements for the reduction of methane and nitrous oxide emissions – are lacking in agriculture, as are incentive schemes to exploit existing emissions reduction potential,

CA. whereas specific climate objectives – such as binding requirements for the reduction of methane and nitrous oxide emissions – are lacking in agriculture, as are incentive schemes to exploit existing emissions reduction potential,

7. Emphasises that biogas from livestock manure has numerous environmental advantages, such as the reduction of methane and CO2-emissions, reduction of emissions of particulate matter and nitrous oxides, a far less obnoxious odour, hygienisation of slurry and better fertilising capacity of the nitrogen in the treated manure, which means that less nitrogen is needed to achieve the same fertilising effect;

All scientific studies on nitrous oxide reductions attributable to MMT in gasoline conclude the same thing: MMT in gasoline reduces emissions of nitrous oxide, a leading contributor to the formation of urban smog.
