Stringent legislation can be put in place by countries so that vehicles meet certain standards. This is important. Countries have already introduced strict legislation - The UK is banning petrol/diesel powered cars to be sold from 2030 onwards.

Nitrification inhibitors can also reduce nitrous oxide production. Nitrous oxide is one of the main main causers of acid rain.

Hydropower
Flowing water to generate mechanical energy that can be turned into electricity
--> Currently the most used renewable and arguably the one that has been around the longest. .
Geothermal energy
Heat stored in/underneath the Earth's crust.
--> Holes are drilled into "hot dry rock" that can release this heat. This rock turns water passing through into steam which can turn a motor and engage a generator.

Road transport produces lots of harmful GHGs like Carbon Dioxide and Nitrous Oxide. the volume of people using private cars has grown exponentially over the last few decades, meaning the volume of GHG-producing vehicles has increased massively.
