Abstract

The ITF Transport Outlook (2021) projects a 60% increase in carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) by 2050, primarily from the transport sector. Emission reduction, crucial for sustainable development goals (SDG13), is emphasised by the UK Department for Business Energy & Industrial Strategy (2021) reporting a swift rise in CO2 emissions from 97.7 MtCO2 in 2020 to 107 MTCO2 in 2021. Urgency is stressed by the UK Department of Transport (2021), urging a shift to a low-emission transport system with a 50% reduction by 2030. Despite this, EU transport strategies, as per the European Union's examples, have not effectively reduced CO2 emissions. Researchers focus on methods like Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to assess transport performance, revealing a literature emphasis on road and passenger car CO2 emissions. The study identifies gaps, suggests future directions, and recommends assessing maritime and aviation sectors.
