The transport sector is the lifeblood of our global economy, connecting people and keeping goods moving. However, this constant movement is very energy-intensive, meaning the sector has been a core source of greenhouse gases, accounting for roughly 22 percent of total energy-related emissions, according to the IEA.

The world’s heavy dependence on traditional gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles contributes significantly to climate change, making the shift towards cleaner transportation options no longer a possibility, but a necessity. Net-zero marine transport, electrified public transit and electric vehicles (EVs) are helping pave the way for the energy transition.

EVs

Making electric vehicles a more accessible and convenient option for everyone requires advancements in charging infrastructure. Technological advancements in e-mobility are accelerating the energy transition.

Electrified public transit

Electrifying public transit systems, such as buses, trams, and commuter rail, with efficient charging infrastructure and traction equipment (converting power from overhead catenary systems and on-board batteries) offers a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuel-powered options.

Net-zero maritime transport

From massive cargo ships to nimble ferries and hard-working tugs, every vessel can be decarbonized. Electrifying, automating and digitalizing maritime operations across both long-haul and short-haul journeys is essential for a net-zero future in the transport sector.
