Various Pathways for Decarbonizing Road Transport in the Global South

from Mapping the Energy Future · host The Institute of Energy Economics, Japan

This episode is talking about “Various Pathways for Decarbonizing Road Transport in the Global South”. BEVs are not the only solution for the Global South. In Indonesia, their life-cycle CO₂ emissions are currently the highest among powertrains and may remain so, while deployment costs must also be considered. Brazil benefits most from combining biofuels with hybrids, and biogas is a practical option for India. In some regions, climate conditions make BEVs less suitable, so road transport strategies should reflect local circumstances.
