Its sustainability is evident from its low levels depends on conventional vehicles, those that work with of atmospheric emissions compared to automotive, internal combustion engine. These vehicles burn the fuel maritime and air transport. It employs an electric traction and then inject a significant amount of pollutants into the with low energy consumption. It guarantees a air which negatively affect its quality. In an effort to comfortably and quickly moving large volumes of people promote public awareness, this paper firstly reviews and goods over short and long distances. Urban rail alternative fuel vehicles as a logic step towards sustainable, consumes of 0.12 kWh average per passenger-km, and efficient and environment friendly transportation. They realizes a factor of seven times more energy efficient than minimize fossil fuel dependency and reduce CO2 emissions a vehicle travel in cities [5]. We can say that the rail is that are responsible for the global warming. These already considered as the greenest form of mass transport. alternatives are the common transportation (railroads and bus networks) and the unconventional vehicles (battery High fuel economy and environmental friendly electric vehicle (BEV), fuel cell vehicle (FCV) and hybrid solutions, in the last decade, have seen a large growing electric vehicle (HEV)).

  • Libya, Energy, and the Mediterranean's New 'Great Game'
    ARI 110/2020 23 September 2020 Libya, energy, and the Mediterranean’s new ‘Great Game’ Michaël Tanchum | Professor of International Relations of the Middle East and North Africa at the University of Navarra, Senior Fellow at the Austrian Institute for European and Security Policy (AIES) and Fellow at the Truman Research Institute for the Advancement of Peace, the Hebrew University, and at the Centre for Strategic Policy Implementation at Başkent University in Ankara (Başkent-SAM) | @michaeltanchum Theme Turkey’s growing military presence in Libya may prompt policymakers in Rome to shift away from Ankara and towards a deeper partnership with France in order to protect Italy’s extensive energy and economic interests in Libya itself and the rest of the southern and eastern Mediterranean basin. Such a Franco-Italian partnership, also taking in Egypt, would constitute a Mediterranean-wide realignment in the new ‘Great Game’ for the region’s energy and commercial connectivity. With Libya and its central Maghreb neighbours Algeria and Tunisia forming the main arena of this emerging geopolitical contest, Spain needs to recalibrate its regional policies to secure its economic and strategic interests in Libya and the wider Mediterranean region. Summary Turkey, Egypt, France, and Italy –the Mediterranean basin’s four largest countries– are engaged in a new ‘Great Game’ for the region’s energy resources and commercial transport routes. The geopolitical fault line between the four has featured a deepening partnership between France and Egypt to oppose Turkey while Italy, compartmentalising its eastern Mediterranean energy interests, has had a more distant alignment with Turkey based on a confluence of interests in Libya and the central Maghreb states of Algeria and Tunisia.

Botswana also boasts infrastructure that is in better condition than several of its neighbors, which has assisted in boosting interest from international companies in the mining sector. Botswana is one of the world leaders in diamond production, with Russia competing closely. While Russia was the largest diamond producer in the world in terms of production volume in 2012, Botswana produced the most in terms of value, accounting for 23.6 percent of total global diamond production.
