Bali Climate Change Talks

Hard technology, implementation needed now

by Pam Rieli

In Bali today representatives from developing countries turned up the heat on the planet's chief polluters as U.S.-led stall tactics again threatened progress on limiting greenhouse gas emissions.

It was heartening to see the new wave of defiance boil over in diplomatic rebukes against the industrial foot-draggers. The U.S., Russia and China, for example, refuse to commit to specific emissions reduction levels. One speaker generated applause from the frustrated audience as he told the U.S. to either assume a leadership role or "get out of our way".

But global climate change conferences always lack one vital piece of the puzzle - a technological solution that can be implemented immediately, on a widespread basis, without limiting economic growth.

Now, after years in development, PNGinc has this ‘missing bullet'. We have launched a global program aimed at displacing millions of tons of greenhouse gases in the transportation sector where vehicles currently account for 14 percent of global emissions.

Our strategy is based on hard technology, rather than diplomacy or intellectual debates. By delivering our company's high-mileage hybrid-electric vehicle drivetrain technologies to millions of low-income people around the world, we can eliminate up to 40 percent of CO2 and other emissions.

At present, our 80+ MPG hybrid drive is being validated by a major university. At the same time, we're preparing to publish a manual detailing how to retrofit any vehicle with this low-cost drivetrain.

These technological first steps are critical in helping countries to meet future emissions targets - without sacrificing growth opportunities that are commonly accompanied by carbon-intensive activities.

Our World Car Initiative is the very thing the U.S. needs to scramble on board the climate solution boat in a leadership role. Retrofitting the country's gas-guzzling cars will result in significant emissions cuts, big fuel-savings for drivers... and provide a little breathing space to introduce renewable power into their coal-dominated infrastructure.

Everyone now realizes that the transition from carbon-intensive economies to sustainable growth will not happen overnight. PNGinc is providing an immediate, affordable and consumer-oriented approach based on existing technologies.
