Project Details
Description
Teesside's diverse transport sector is crucial for achieving net zero emissions. This timely project will provide an evidence-based roadmap to cost-effectively decarbonise maritime, aviation, freight, and passenger transport. By mapping potential future fuel supply chains like green hydrogen and synthetic e-fuels, and comparing their technical, economic, and environmental viability, optimal pathways will be designed.
The project's innovative combined modelling and participatory research approach will 'backcast' realistic transition scenarios to 2040, considering Teesside's expertise and infrastructure. With extensive stakeholder engagement, including workshops and choice experiments, recommendations will align with regional priorities. This collaboration can catalyse investments, policies and pilot projects to accelerate the adoption of the most promising clean fuels.
The project will cement Teesside's leadership in sustainable transport, creating jobs and environmental benefits. The developed strategic decarbonisation framework can serve as a replicable model to rapidly green transport nationally, helping the UK achieve its net zero goals.
This timely research will provide evidence to optimise new infrastructure investments for maximum feasibility, cost-effectiveness and regional impact.
Project funded via £4.8m REHIP programme funded by Research England Development (RED) fund.
