TARGET: Emission reductions by 2030
The European Union has set among its priorities for the next decade to make our continent carbon neutral by reducing the current level of carbon compound emissions.
Road transport accounted for 21.70% of total carbon emissions to the atmosphere in 2018, just behind emissions from electricity generation and emissions from buildings and households.
Professional freight and passenger transport in turn emits slightly more than 20.6% of total road emissions, which in total accounts for around 5% of emissions from all activities in Spain.
The renewal of vehicle fleets and their technological transformation is therefore an essential element in achieving the sustainable development goals of the 2030 agenda.
The Corell Foundation has decided to draw up a report to monitor the technological transformation of professional vehicles in Spain in order to verify the degree of compliance with these objectives. To this end, it has set up the Observatory for the Energy Transition of Mobility, led by Professor Alberto Camarero Orive.
ENERGY AND MOBILITY IN SPAIN: PERCEPTIONS AND CHALLENGES
by Alberto Camarero Orive
The work on "Energy and Mobility in Spain", which has been prepared by a UPM team led by Alberto Camarero, Professor of the Department of Transport Engineering, Territory and Urban Planning - School of Civil Engineering, Polytechnic University of Madrid and member of the Think Tank Mobility, is the most complete compendium of the "state of the art" of the various fuels that are currently, to a greater or lesser extent, available for use in the mobility of people and goods.
