This session addresses the challenge of reducing, drastically and in the short term, greenhouse gas emissions from freight transport, while transport demand is projected to more than double by 2050. Despite optimistic scenarios for increased rail and inland waterways transport, road transport remains dominant. The market is showing a demand for sustainable products, prompting key supply chain players to embark on decarbonization efforts. The session emphasizes the need for urgent, large-scale adoption of existing low-carbon technologies and innovative solutions to achieve a targeted 55% emission reduction by 2030. Champions in freight transport decarbonization will discuss strategies, priority areas, and actionable solutions to accelerate sustainability. The focus is on real-world implementation of available innovative solutions, enablers for logistics decarbonization, barriers to scaling sustainable offerings, and short and long-term initiatives to meet EU Green Deal targets. Attendees, including users, transport representatives, and researchers, will gain insights into ongoing decarbonization efforts, successful strategies, and the crucial role of policy and industry support.
