The Road to Renewable Transport Solutions
Date: 21 February 2019, 9.00am - 1.00pm
Location: Glasgow
With real momentum behind the policy ambition to decarbonise our transport sector this seminar brings together leaders in the field to discuss how to keep our action on track, and the role for Scotland’s renewable energy sector in this transition.
Transport affects all parts of our lives, from the price of goods on supermarket shelves to the practicality of our daily commute.
A change in how we fuel this sector will impact all of us in a variety of ways.
This event firstly considers decarbonisation of our road vehicle fleet; the changes in consumer behaviour required, how utility business models are already adapting and how some of this change is being financed. We then move beyond road transport to consider how other areas of our transport system – including aviation and shipping – can become cleaner.
