A team of experts has assessed the transport sector and its projected development up to 2030 and 2050 for a number of countries. The objective of the assessment was to quantify the role that renewable transport fuels play in decarbonising the road transport sector, and to provide insights to policy makers on how individual countries differ from one another, which options for decarbonisation they have, and best practice examples for successful policies. This webinar will present the main conclusions and recommendations of this work.
