1. 1. A process to assess fossil-free transport transition pathways and develop a sustainability roadmap for transport purchasers

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Author : Lauren Brach; [2023]
   Keywords : Roadmap; corporate carbon strategy; decarbonisation; transportation; fossil-free; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Most (93%) of the greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector come from road traffic in Sweden which includes passenger and freight transport activity (Trafikverket, 2022). The aim of this thesis was to understand pathways that transport purchasers can pursue to reach the fossil-free transportation goals from manufacturing plant to customer and to develop a process for assessing a market and developing a roadmap for achieving fossil-free transportation.
