Transport is one of the main contributors to carbon emissions for countries around the world, with predicted population growth and the industry’s continued dependence on oil currently projected to increase emissions by almost 20% in 2050.
Highly ambitious and targeted policies focused on road transport, aviation and shipping are already being developed by governments, and to fulfill their commitments, critical investments and innovation will be directed towards boosting energy efficiency and accelerating electrification to stem near-term transport emissions. Vital transport technologies and fuels still in the demonstration and prototype stages also offer potential for long-term decarbonisation of the industry, along with a modal shift to active modes of transport and micro-mobility, supporting personal well-being and holistic sustainability.
