Energy Insight: Decarbonisation of transport worldwide
The situation
Transport produced an estimated 23% of global CO2 emissions in 2014
KEY CO2 Emissions tends: Excerpt from CO2 emissions from Fuel Combustion (2016 edition) IEA 2017. Fig 10., Page 7.
“For transport, the 71% increase since 1990 was driven by emissions from the road sector, which accounted for three quarters of transport emissions in 2014. Despite efforts to limit emissions from international transport, between 1990 and 2014, emissions from marine and aviation bunkers grew even faster than those from road (marine: +69% aviation: +95%).” p9.
“The transport sector [in Africa] remains almost entirely reliant on oil products, with few policies in place to promote the use of alternative fuels, such as biofuels“. African Energy outlook. IEA, 2014.
