Bending the Curve Towards a Future
Mobility has been crucial in shaping society, with demand steadily growing. Today, most transportation relies on gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel due to their high energy density, abundance, and low cost. However, when accounting for hidden costs, petroleum-powered mobility proves costly. It harms human health through air pollution, damages ecosystems through oil spills, and contributes significantly to climate change, accounting for 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
The transportation sector accounts for approximately 14% of carbon emissions. Solutions include the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), which reduce reliance on fossil fuels; the enhancement of public transit systems, the development of cycling infrastructure, the integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, into transportation networks, and the implementation of smart mobility … Read more
