This report sets out how the government plans to engage with individuals, companies and other stakeholders through a series of workshops and public feedback sessions on the decarbonising issues and the proposed government actions to address them. The government additionally wants feedback on any other issues not mentioned but may have an impact the decarbonising strategy and what actions should be taken in order to address them. The final report currently is planned to be issued towards the end of 2020, though it may will be delayed now.
According to the report the transport sector overall is now the largest emitter of Green House Gases (GHG) since 2016. This is since energy sector in the past few years has dropped dramatically, while the transport sector has remain fairly static over the past 25 years. This does show one positive in that while emission have remained static the number of vehicles has increased considerable in this period. This will be down to the drive in the commercial sector for reduced pollution in the form of EUR engine standards, increased electrification of rail lines and an overall improvement in transport vehicle efficiency.
There transport decarbonising highlights six areas it wishes to address in order to achieve a nett zero transport system in the UK.
Future articles will deal with the current situation and detail planned steps on how the conversation will be taken forward. The full report from the Department of Transport Decarbonising Transport, Setting the Challenge can be downloaded here
