Decarbonizing transport – low carbon fuels

Decarbonizing transport is key to all pathways to get to net zero.

The transport sector is responsible for almost a quarter of total energy-related CO₂ emissions. Around 75% of these emissions come from road transport. Another 22% comes from aviation and marine, but these emissions are harder to abate than road transport, which can more easily switch to alternative fuels or use electric power.

Decarbonizing shipping will require a range of solutions. OGCI is working on the development of low-carbon fuels, such as biofuels, ammonia, hydrogen and E-fuels. We have also supported the development of carbon capture for ships to capture emissions for storage.
