It appears to be technically feasible to cut transportation- related GHG emissions by 50-80% by 2050. • A portfolio strategy is essential, combining energy efficiency, travel reduction and adoption of alternative fuels and vehicles. • No single fuel or vehicle dominates the future. Instead, a diverse mix of fuels in different regions & transport applications. • Investments needed to launch new clean vehicles and fuels << money flows in the current energy system. 11 11 October 2012 © 2012 KEEP MOVING, TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY Recommendations • Near term actions to reduce transportation-related GHG emissions and oil use & enable deep cuts by 2050. - Increase efficiency of ICEVs, adopt lower-carbon fuels; - Support emerging electric drive transportation technologies (batteries and fuel cells); - Continued R&D on “game changing” technologies; - City-scale demonstrations to accelerate technology learning at the system level. • Ongoing science to assess impacts of different choices: GHG emissions, oil use, and water, land, air and materials. • Strong and consistent policies. 12 11 October 2012 © 2012 KEEP MOVING, TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY E I T l 13 [email protected] www.rli.nl #EeacRli ‘Group ‘EEAC-RLI Conference 2012 on sustainable mobility’ 11 October 2012
