Transport contributes over a quarter of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions – the highest of any individual sector and comparable to 1990 levels.

By committing to ending the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030, the UK Government has set an ambitious pathway to reducing emissions from light road vehicles, but this is only one part of the picture.

This event will feature panel discussions and fringe sessions exploring what now needs to be done to reduce emissions from hard-to-reach areas of the transport system including road haulage, public transport, shipping, and air travel.

Why attend?

• Discover how industry leaders are tackling the challenge of decarbonising transport
• Understand the key opportunities and issues facing transport decarbonisation across land, sea, and air
• Network with delegates from government, local government, airports, ports, hauliers, rail, finance, trade press and more
• Explore topics ranging from reducing emissions from road freight and ships in port, to electrifying rail and advice on investment strategies in series of fringe sessions.

The programme

Whether you are a seasoned transport professional, or have transport as part of your brief, this event is essential to understand the latest thinking in how to keep the UK moving as we reduce emissions from transport.

The event’s programme is as follows:

• Introduction: Welcome
• Keynote: Rising to the challenge of decarbonising the UK transport system
• Panel 1: Can ‘levelling up’ succeed without transport decarbonisation?
• Fringe 1: Preparing the grid for whole-system transport decarbonisation
• Panel 2: Freeports: The key to cleaner, more efficient, better integrated international transport system, or trade at the expense of the environment?
• Panel 3: Can Net Zero and aviation co-exist?
• Fringe 2: Reducing emissions from road frieght
• Fringe 3: Electrifying hard-to-reach areas of UK rail
• Fringe 4: How to enable marine decarbonisation
• Fringe 5: SAF and design of the support scheme
• Panel 4: Does the UK have the infrastructure to fully decarbonise our transport system?
• Fringe 6: What are the barriers to unlocking investment?
• Panel 5: Will hydrogen, bio-fuels or electric vehicles provide the answers for transport decarbonisation?

Transport + Energy are our media partners for the event. With more than two-thirds of emissions from energy production, and also a third of all emissions from transport, decarbonising these two sectors will lead the net-zero agenda across the world. Transport + Energy was created for exactly this purpose: to unite the sectors with the common goal of decarbonisation. Sign up for the Transport + Energy newsletter and updates here.
