Alongside electrification, sustainable fuels have a key role to play in the decarbonisation of road transport writes Steve Sapsford, Chair of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers’ Powertrain Systems and Fuels Group
It is widely recognised that the decarbonisation of our road transport sector is increasingly urgent and important in the race to address climate change, with about 27% of UK greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions currently coming from this sector. In addition, for the benefit of the population’s health, there is a need to improve air quality in our towns and cities, where road transport emissions are one of the biggest contributors to localized air pollution.
