T-1A1a-TE-19 - Shift to gas cars

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: M-1A-11 - Alternative Fuels for Vehicles.

TBD

Sustainability Category: Amber

This transition element has only moderate climate impact but may be necessary for maintaining urban needs, with a clear pathway to decarbonization. While not aligned with net-zero targets, this transition element is actively improving the emissions profile and represents intermediate performance on the path to sustainability.
