1 // Thanks to the »Green Deal«, Europe is to become the first climate-neutral continent that eliminates as many CO2 emissions as it produces by 2050. To allow the green transformation to pick up momentum, the principle of achieving carbon neutrality as quickly as possible must be the basis for political decisions.
2 // Since the environmental behaviour or climate relevance of the overall system is a decisive factor in the ecological footprint of any future technology, political regulations and decisions should be taken on the basis of comprehensive life-cycle assessments (LCA) that consider all direct and indirect impacts throughout all upstream and downstream stages of the value chain.
These are the main conclusions of an extensive series of orientation studies on climate neutrality the European transport sector, summarised in a new information paper of the FVV.
