Why does transport need renewable fuels?
Fossil fuels were first used to power transport in 1804 with the first steam-powered train journey. Over the past 200 years, fossil fuels have come to power the vast majority of transport on land, at sea and in the air. Using what are essentially carbon sinks as a transport fuel and releasing the CO2 in atmosphere is inherently non-sustainable. Now, the era of fossil fuels is coming to an end.
We are in the midst of a fundamental paradigm shift of how we power mobility. Tomorrow’s mobility will be powered by a wide range of solutions, including electricity, hydrogen and renewable fuels. This paradigm shift is driven by an urgent need to reduce transport-related emissions, and only by combining all available solutions will we meet climate goals. The climate cannot wait.
