Transportation Markets in Climate Change (June 2010)

With less than 5% of the world’s population, the United States emitted 22-23% of greenhouse gases (GHGs) worldwide in 2008. Moving people and goods generated 27% of the U.S. carbon footprint in 2008, nearly 1,900 million metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO2-e) emissions. Cutting transport GHGs over the next 10 to 40 years will be one of the most important challenges in mitigating climate change. It will also represent one of the largest emerging business segments of the climate change industry, but one whose structure is in flux, and whose leadership is up for grabs, as companies and technologies battle it out in the marketplace, for commitments from the investment community and for influence with policymakers. In its first edition on transportation, CCBJ covers vehicle and fuels technology, land-use planning, rapid transit, trucking, intelligent transportation systems and more. CCBJ estimates the 2009 value of the climate change transportation business at $69 billion, with flex-fuel vehicles, biofuels, public transit and hybrid electric vehicles being the largest segments.
