A new government long-range plan envisions electric power being the best choice for passenger vehicles, while long-haul truckers should look to hydrogen.
Four government agencies—the Departments of Energy and Transportation, plus HUD and the EPA—said last fall that they would work together to create more clean and accessible transportation across the nation by 2050. This week, they released the U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization, with details on how this will happen.
Redesigned cities and communities and better public transportation are part of the plan, but the biggest reductions in emissions will come from cleaning up the vehicle fleet. The agencies see three main fossil fuel alternatives in our future—electricity, hydrogen, and sustainable biofuels—but they have wildly different use cases.
Last fall, the Departments of Energy, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and the Environmental Protection Agency announced they will work together to create a "clean, safe, accessible, equitable, and decarbonized transportation system for all." This week, the agencies releasedCalled the U.S.
With this second major step in the decades-long decarbonization plan now complete, the four agencies also provided a general outline for that milestones that are planned for the coming decades as the U.S. moves to a net-zero economy. Between now and 2030, it's research and investments to support deployment. In the 2030s, the clean transportation solutions will scale up, and in the 2040s, we will be "Completing the Transition." That's the plan, anyway.
