Transport

[New] Achieving 10% of power generation from renewable sources would set us on a solid foundation to deliver the goal of 15% reduction in GHG from industry, power generation and transportation by 2030.
[New] The move towards electric transport will be vital in helping the UK meet its target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050, while growing the economy and creating jobs in greener industries.
Annual global investments in private LTE and 5G network infrastructure - which includes radio access network (RAN), mobile core and transport network equipment - will reach $8 billion by the end of 2023.
While all other modes of international freight transport have been adversely affected by COVID-19, the increase in freight carried by railways will boost in the coming years as it uses less manpower over long distances.
Reaching net zero in 2050 requires top-down coercive central planning on a global scale, encompassing energy, manufacturing, construction, transportation, agriculture and land use.
Although there are many pathways that could lead to radical reductions in carbon emissions, all of them will be disruptive to major industries, ranging from electric power to transportation to agriculture, not to mention fuels, chemicals, and materials.
An illustrative London-wide charge of 10 p per kilometre could raise as much as £3 billion per year gross - perhaps more if restrictions on public transport led to a big rise in car use.
Mexico City is planning for an additional 80 miles of temporary bike infrastructure to alleviate the risks of public transport in a city of more than 21 million people.
The large-scale, global deployment of renewable hydrogen across the energy, transport and industrial sectors could reduce their annual emissions by up to 34% by 2050 - at a manageable cost.
Increased train travel and the electrification of rail networks across the UK will support the government's ambition to decarbonise transport across the UK as part of the 2050 net zero target.
Increased uptake of electric vehicles will be key to reaching zero net emissions by 2050, with Australia's transport emissions showing consistent growth over the last couple of decades.
In the area of transport, around 700 kilometres of Moldova's roads have been or will be rehabilitated with EU support, and public transport in Chişinău and Bălți has been improved and outfitted with modern trolley buses.
Most bioenergy delivers heat in buildings and industry, but bioenergy is also expected to account for 3% of electricity production and around 4% of transport energy demand in 2023.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released its financial outlook for the global air transport industry showing that airlines are expected to lose $84.3 billion in 2020 for a net profit margin of -20.1%.
A significant shift away from internal combustion engine vehicles in the transport sector is expected to result in improvements in local air quality metrics and health outcomes in Ireland..
The electrification of transport, buildings' heating systems and various industrial sectors would require a 75 pc increase of power generation capacity across the EU by 2050.
Austria's strategic approach to reducing demand in the transport sector and to achieving its objective of fossil-free mobility by 2050 is to shift transport to modes that are more efficient and to increase the use of alternative fuels and technologies.
Environment Agency Austria expects emissions from the transport sector to continue their upward trajectory until 2024 due to the continuous increase in vehicle kilometres driven by heavy-duty vehicles and buses.
The International Air Transport Association has set an ambitious goal for its members: transporting a billion passengers on flights using biofuel by 2025.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecasts a US$ 252 billion fall in ticket revenues if travel bans remain in place for three months.
The aviation and maritime transport sectors, along with fisheries industry, are too important to global supply chains to have any disruption caused by government restrictions preventing crew change and travel.
Sales of combustion engine cars are set to drop even faster this year, and the long-term electrification of transport is projected to accelerate in the years ahead.
The long-term electrification of transport is projected to accelerate in the next decade and beyond as battery technology improves and the price of electric vehicles falls.
