Commission’s strategy for decarbonising the road transport sector is finally
taking shape: Brussels wants efficiency first, electrification second.
But it doesn’t know what to do about biofuels. “There is no
appetite for [new] targets”, says Commission Director Marie Donnelly. Sonja van
Renssen takes us on the bumpy road to a climate-friendly European transport
sector.
The European Commission held a June 18 conference on
decarbonising road transport.
It had a star Brussels line-up with no less than three
Commissioners (plus one Vice President on video), MEPs, national officials,
CEOs, NGOs, the Mayor of the City of Gothenburg and the Chairman of the
Management Board of Daimler AG. This was the day on which Brussels formally
kicked off debate on a new climate policy for road transport for 2030.
