As a cornerstone of this strategy, the transport sector, which accounts for approximately 25% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions, faces significant changes. The Green Deal’s far-reaching policies aim to decarbonise transport through innovation, stricter regulations, and incentives for cleaner alternatives.
The EU Green Deal is a comprehensive set of policies designed to transform the European economy, with the primary goal of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. It encompasses multiple sectors, with transport identified as a priority area due to its high dependency on fossil fuels.
The Green Deal encompasses initiatives such as:
Key Goals for the Transport Sector
The EU Green Deal sets ambitious targets for decarbonising transport. The EU aims to reduce transport emissions by 90% by 2050 through a combination of electrification, alternative fuels, and energy efficiency measures. Policies such as RED II promote the use of renewable fuels, including HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), in heavy transport and aviation. Additionally, investments in alternative fuel infrastructure, such as renewable fuel supply chains, are prioritised.
The Green Deal includes more stringent CO₂ emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles, requiring manufacturers and fleet operators to adopt cleaner technologies and fuels. Companies are increasingly being held accountable for emissions throughout their supply chains. Businesses in the transport sector must collaborate with partners to transition to fossil-free fuels and adopt greener logistics practices—all aimed at reducing Scope 3 emissions.
The extension of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) to road transport will make carbon emissions more expensive, incentivising companies to switch to renewable fuels such as HVO. Renewable fuels like HVO offer a practical, immediate solution for reducing emissions in heavy transport without requiring costly fleet replacements.
