2070 Forecast of Global CO2 Emissions in Transport by Mode

As the world shifts towards renewable energy sources, the transport industry is moving faster than ever.

The International Energy Agency posits that the transport industry has the highest reliance on fossil fuels of any sector, accounting for 37% of CO2 emissions from end-use sectors in 2021.

Since the 1970’s, transportation emissions have almost tripled, with little signs towards abatement any time soon.

Though EV’s have finally started to reduce and slow CO2 emissions from Passenger Vehicles, as the chart on the previous page suggests, Medium-trucks, Heavy-trucks, Buses, Mini-buses, and light commercial vehicles collectively contribute the other lion’s share of emissions from the transport industry; these commercial and heavy-duty vehicles account for over 35% of the world’s transport emissions.
