Climate-friendly transport: Implementation strategies for the greenhouse gas reduction of the German transport sector by 2030 and 2050 in the context of electrification

The aim of the project was to develop concrete roadmaps for each individual mode of transport to achieve greenhouse gas reductions by 2030 and greenhouse gas neutrality of transport by 2050 and to prepare them in such a way that they support the political process with regard to the aim of complete decarbonization of the transport sector. The project framework here is primarily the assumptions and targets of the German government's Climate Protection Plan 2050. This means that for each mode of transport, it is shown which decarbonization path would have to be followed and how and at what appropriate time these paths would have to be backed up with concrete instruments and measures. For this purpose, GHG emission modeling was carried out using the TEMPS tool in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the instruments.
