“…For instance, urban air pollution accounts for 750,000 deaths each year, of which 530,000 are in Asia (Woodcock et al, 2007). Because of limited energy resources, it has been argued that the world will be required to move toward virtual travel (such as internet surfing, virtual sensorial traveling, and video conferences) to replace physical travel as much as possible (Moriarty & Honnery, 2007). In reality, the situation outlined above is the result of consideration of humanity only within social contexts and without the necessary environmental perspective (Thomas, 2007).…”

“…Hybrid vehicles are currently in mass production with estimated 2006 global sales of 373,000, mainly in Japan and the US, compared with conventional petrol-engine cars, full hybrid can improve fuel efficiency by up to 60%, with higher gains in urban driving [32]. This option can be tried in urban cities of Oman for short journeys which can help to reduce the number of big individual cars in the road.…”

Oman is a fast developing country where about 76% of registered vehicles as of 2014 were private cars with approximately one private car per household. The growth of automobile is faster than the growth of human population. From 2000-2009, Omani population has increased by 2% per annum while automobile usage in the country has increased by 4.3%. The leadership of Sultanate of Oman has pledged to cut down greenhouse (GHG) emissions by 2% as a commitment to United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Due to very limited public transportation system, traffic congestion and emission from vehicles are high during working days since majority of individuals uses private vehicles as only means of transport. This paper seeks to combine mitigation measures adopted in selected Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and UNFCCC to suggest cost-effective measures suitable in reducing GHG emissions from road transportation sector in Oman. These measures will specifically reduce vehicular emissions during working days where car occupancy rates are very low in an economically sustainable way.

“…Indeed EV need further technology development, notably in the field of batteries [71][72][73][74], but the potential goal to be reached [75,76] deserves a real first-class attention, particularly for corporations either in the side of car manufacturers or in the side of energy goods suppliers.…”

“…Global (well to wheel) analysis of different technology scenarios point out that EV [75,76] will offer the highest efficiency, and will minimize contamination in populated areas. As an illustrative case for this quest, we can consider that a good new vehicle of medium class will present in average an emission of 125 g/km (1 g/km = 10…”

Emerging energy technologies and market evolution of some energy products, particularly natural gas, can converge to produce a new global scenario closer to the objectives of Sustainable Development, with a smooth transition that would avoid social and economic upheavals and could open a new cycle of growth and wealth. The first steps of unconventional gas production have induced stabilization in the gas spot price that should be continued to guarantee stable prices in the long term. Another line of development that should start a second phase of consolidation and cost reduction is the field of Renewable Energies. Besides research and technology advancements, a new financial deal could substitute for subsidies and feed-in tariffs. Last but not least, electric vehicles and other emerging technologies from the demand side will also have a main role in this quest to re-structure the Energy sector, where a new hierarchy of energy goods and energy applications will appear, and a better integral use of energy will take place. A main consequence of that will be a significant reduction of CO 2 emissions, and a cheaper cost of energy, although fiscal policies could swallow this advantage. In this transition, which would likely last thirty years or so, energy corporations will have to face challenges and opportunities to consolidate their working and value-adding status.
