T-1A3-TE-3 - Shift to electric air passenger transport
Background¶
IPCC WG3 definition: M-1B-2 - Alternative Fuels for Aircraft.
TBD
Sustainability Category: Green¶
This transition element substantially contributes to climate change mitigation through significant greenhouse gas reductions, carbon sequestration, or enabling the transition to net-zero emissions. The transition element aligns with science-based pathways to limit global warming and should be prioritized for investment and expansion.
