Clean Fuels in the Ground Transportation Sector

The ground transportation sector, which includes personal and public transportation, trucking, rail, and off-road vehicles, is seeing a surge in clean fuel options, from renewable hydrogen to biodiesel. These fuels offer the potential for significant emissions reductions, especially when integrated into existing vehicles and infrastructure. Our report outlines the current landscape, challenges in distribution, and the emerging market mechanisms that support the adoption of these fuels. This background report, the third sector-specific background report released by CRS’s Clean Energy Accounting Project (CEAP) as part of its inaugural Clean Fuels Week, is part of an initiative developing market-based accounting guidelines for clean fuels.
