Reaching Zero Carbon Transport: What will it take?

Green House Think Tank -

The UK and EU are investing in transport infrastructure – airports, seaports, new roads and railways – which will lock in future carbon emissions and make their ‘net zero’ targets impossible to meet.  How can we achieve zero carbon emissions from transport of freight and passengers? What needs to change to make net zero carbon transport a reality? Where should public money be invested? And what obstacles are blocking this?
