There has been growing interest in introducing a national low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) in the United States as a replacement for the current Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The RFS, a program that mandates increasing volumes of various types of biofuels over time, is not well defined by law after 2022 and has become politically divisive.

The decarbonization of road transport is an essential component of realizing broader climate targets, and globally, approximately 21% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions come from road transport. Over the past decade, China continuously rolled out regulations and policies to reduce fuel consumption from new cars and trucks and to shift to electric vehicles. During this time, the country experienced a spectacular flourishing of its electric vehicle market.

Around 80,000 buses are currently registered in Germany, of which 40,000–55,000 are deployed in the public transport sector. The majority of the buses are still powered by diesel engines. In order to achieve the climate targets of both Germany and Europe, the fleet emission and minimum procurement targets have been tightened at the national and European levels. As per the Clean Vehicle Directive, by 2025, 45 per cent of new purchases must be ‘clean vehicles’, and half of them (22.5 per cent) should be emission-free.

The decarbonization of shipping – responsible for 3% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions but more than 80% of global trade – is rapidly moving up the agenda, for policymakers and industry alike. The good news is that the technologies to produce zero-emission fuels and vessels are nearly market ready. While global action will be crucial in the long run, it is just as crucial to start somewhere.

The global fleet of four-wheeled road vehicles continues to rise and currently stands at close to 1.5 billion vehicles. More than 50 million cars, trucks and buses were added to the global fleet between 2019 and mid-2021. The global fleet of two- and three-wheelers is almost as big, exceeding one billion. China, India and countries in Southeast Asia are by far the largest markets for two- and three-wheelers globally.
