Long-term transport energy demand and climate policy : alternative visions on transport decarbonization in energy economy models
Pietzcker, Robert C.; Longden, Thomas; Chen, Wenying; … - 2013
Transportation accounts for a substantial share of CO2 emissions, and decarbonizing transport will be necessary to … limit global warming to below 2°C. Due to persistent reliance on fossil fuels, it is posited that transport is more … difficult to decarbonize than other sectors. We test this hypothesis by comparing long-term transport energy demand and emission …
