Sustainable Solutions for Reducing CO2 Emissions in Road Freight Industry
Sustainable Road Freight initiative by Dr. Phil Greening focuses on technologies to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, logistics measures for efficiency, and a decarbonization pathway for the UK's transport sector. The strategies include using biofuels, electrification, efficient vehicle technologies, optimized logistics operations, and transitioning to cleaner energy sources gradually, emphasizing the importance of innovation and collaboration to achieve significant CO2 reduction targets.

One route to meeting -80% CO2for the UK Cost optimal decarbonisation pathway -power now, heat next, transport gradual Cost optimal decarbonisation pathway - power now, heat next, transport gradual Implications: Major interventions in the power sector needed immediately (renewables, nuclear...); decarbonised by 2040 Big transition in the heat sector after 2020 from gas to electric, district heating or hydrogen; decarbonised by 2050 High reliance on negative emissions technologies to deliver lowest-cost pathways Transport is the largest CO2emitter in 2050 New technologies and innovation needed Source ETI
