The use of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in transport is a suitable option to power large long-distance trucks in areas where gas is transported as liquefied natural gas because there are indigenous gas supplies and no gas network. The use of LNG in passenger cars is far less viable because on average passenger cars stand idle more often, which would give rise to high evaporative losses.
The CO2 emissions from the transport sector account for about 20% of the total human-induced greenhouse emissions worldwide. The sector spans transport systems for commercial use and leisure, and vehicles used on land, air, inland waterways and seas. With a view to providing sustainable transport and mitigate climate change impacts, the CTCN brings together relevant stakeholders to provide technical assistance to countries through a combination of well-established and innovative climate technology solutions. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.
