T-1A4-TE-4 - Biofuel for marine passenger transport
Background¶
IPCC WG3 definition: M-1C-1 - Alternative Fuels for Shipping.
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.
