This Westminster Forum Projects seminar will assess the next steps in decarbonising transport, looking across transport modes at new technologies and cleaner fuels, along with emerging strategies to promote lower carbon choices.
It comes as policy makers, industry and environmental campaigners consider the way forward in bringing the sector into line with the UK’s and the European Union’s sustainability targets.
Including keynote presentations from the Department for Transport, Honda, Network Rail, the Renewable Fuels Agency and Transport for London planned sessions will examine:
- Changing attitudes: shifting from private to public transport;
- Integrating the transport system, and the role of rail in reducing the sector’s carbon footprint;
- Multimodal challenges: aviation, cycling, freight, rail, shipping and public transport;
- Technological innovation: biofuels, hydrogen, electricity and solar power; and
- A case study: appraising the eco car.
