environment and energy
A thesis that no longer provokes comment is that domestic fuel supplies are likely to be curtailed suddenly and without warning.
The work reported in this paper has been undertaken because of a concern for a general tendency in the transport community to make sweeping statements about the desirability of diverting traffic from one mode to another in order to save fuel.
Energy Policies and Company Cars: An Application of Experimental Design Methods in Economic Research
Company cars account for more than a third of new car sales in Australia.
This Paper represents the second study into the estimation of the consumption of energy by Australian transport. The results of the first study were published in Occasional Paper 4 which was based on data for the year s 1970–71.
This Paper is an exploratory attempt to examine the distribution of raw and refined petroleum products by all transport modes over the period 1971–72 to 1986–87.
The study focuses on the current major transport fuels, which in 1988–89 accounted for 93 per cent of Australia's transport sector energy consumption: petrol (leaded and unleaded), automotive diesel oil, fuel oil and aviation turbine fuel.
The Paper details emissions from various segments of the transport sector, discusses the magnitude of the task involved in reducing transport emissions, and examines the potential for reducing them by alternative means.
This study examines the risk associated with major oil spills (over 1000 tonnes) in open water anywhere on the Australian coast.
This Paper provides an examination of three tax policy options. The options relate to taxation of business cars, vehicle sales tax and registration charges, and a carbon tax on transport fuel.
This Paper briefly describes the LAND computer package and outlines studies to verify and apply it. The LAND computer package is an educational tool.
