RENEWBILITY II - Continuation of the RENEWBILITY analysis tool - RENEWBILILTY II Scenario for an Ambitious Climate Mitigation Contribution of Transport
Overview
Background & policy context:
The transportation sector is faced with various challenges: It has to fulfill the individual needs of mobility, as well as the requirements of globalized freight traffic. In addition, the negative impact on the environment must be reduced, e.g. to achieve the national climate protection goals. The conditions for this transformation process are difficult as traffic volumes have increased significantly over the past decades. For the future, a further increase in passenger traffic and freight traffic is expected.
Objectives:
The goal of the Renewbility II project was to further enhance the integrated modelling system of the preceding Renewbility project. In a second step, the possible contribution of the transport sector to climate protection is quantified up to the year 2030 using scenario analysis which draws upon the involvement of various social stakeholders.
Methodology:
The developed models allow quantifying the overall GHG-emissions of the transportation sector (directly emitted Greenhouse gases, as well as secondary GHG sources such as vehicle production).
Within the project, 2 different scenarios for 2030 are developed :
- The basic scenario considers current prognosis regarding social and economic conditions, as well as existing limitations by law.
- In the climate protection scenario, the transportation sector reaches a very high, but realistic contribution to climate protection
