🚇 At the intergrated panel discussion: "Ambition, Commitment, and Action for the #EnergyTransition in the Transport Sector”, the message was clear: we must unite ambition, commitment, and action to build a #renewablefuture for transport—one that secures energy, boosts economies, and delivers on climate goals. 🔸 Transport and Energy Are Inseparable: #Transportdecarbonisation is essential for #energydecarbonisation. Without renewable-powered transport, achieving climate goals is impossible. 40 % of global trade #supplychains are moving #fossilfuel through #maritimetransport from point of production to point of consumption. 🔸 Building Trust in Renewables: Skepticism about renewables meeting transport demands 24/7 persists. Transparent narratives and sectoral collaboration are needed to combat misinformation and prove this transition is both feasible and essential. 🔸 The Data Challenge: Access to open, integrated, and contextualised data is vital for crafting effective, bankable policies. Current gaps in #dataownership hinder the development of knowledge-driven strategies. 🔸 Spotlight on Scalable Solutions: #Hydrogen, ammonia, #railsystems, and fleet electrification present clear opportunities to scale up renewable-powered transport. But we must avoid replicating centralised fossil fuel systems in a decentralised renewable framework. 🔸 Collaborative Economies: Aligning policies, bridging #supplyanddemand, and fostering interconnected economies—via manufacturing, supply chains, and industrialisation—can create resilient systems that benefit both transport and energy sectors. Let’s not miss this opportunity to drive integrated progress!
