Energy Secretary Moniz says U.S. seeks ways to cut greenhouse gases
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 () -- The U.S. Energy Department is teaming up with the energy industry and research institutes to help make biofuels competitive with gasoline,[url=http://www.spa-gesundheit.com/]michael kors outlet online[/url], its leader said.Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said the government is looking for ways to increase energy security and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by advancing a low-carbon economy.The transportation sector in the United State accounts for nearly 60 percent of domestic oil consumption and 30 percent of overall emissions.Moniz said the department was rolling out $22 million in new investments for researchers and industry groups to make biofuels competitive with gasoline."By partnering with industry and universities, we can help make clean, renewable biofuels cost-competitive with gasoline,[url=http://www.yodasblog.com/]louboutin outlet[/url], give drivers more options at the pump and cut harmful carbon pollution," he said Thursday.Energy trade groups have said they're concerned about long-term problems for vehicle performance with ethanol blends in gasoline. The Energy Department said the research projects outlined by Moniz could bring cost-competitive solutions for biofuels and algae-based fuels available to consumers by 2017 and 2022, respectively.
