I joined GreenBiz in May 2022 — a decision that profoundly changed my perspective on transport decarbonization. In my role as the director of transportation, I sat at the intersection of many subsectors within transport, able to survey the industry across on-road vehicles and electrification, aviation, maritime shipping and freight rail. From this vantage point, it has been a privilege to learn from those leading the efforts to decarbonize transportation and share my learnings with you.

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is considered the leading solution to support decarbonizing the aviation industry. It’s a drop-in fuel, meaning it’s usable in aircrafts today, and it reduces emissions by upwards of 80 percent. On the other hand, real limitations still exist.

And when it comes to lifecycle emissions, not all SAF is created equal.

As I noted in December, 2024 is the year of circularity and manufacturing decarbonization for the automotive industry. Simply producing an EV is not the whole picture when it comes to automotive decarbonization, even though new data from Bloomberg highlights that EV life-cycle emissions can be more than 70 percent lower than a gasoline and diesel vehicle when used for roughly 155,000 miles. Some automakers are taking EV circularity head-on.
