El papel del gas natural y del biometano en el sector del transporte

1 Introduction
The transport sector is a significant contributor to economy-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in
Europe, and accounted for more than 20% of total GHG emissions in the EU in 2012 (European Commission, 2015).
The Commission’s 2011 Transport White Paper (European Commission, 2011) sets a high level
objective to reduce emissions from transport by 60% against 1990 levels by 2050. In order to achieve
this, EU legislation for road transport vehicles has either been introduced or is planned, including
binding emission targets for cars and vans, CO2 labelling for new passenger cars, fuel quality legislation which requires the reduction of the GHG intensity of fuels, and plans to develop a strategy to reduce GHG emissions from heavy duty vehicles (HDVs).
The Transport White Paper also includes a high-level target to reduce EU CO2 emissions from maritime bunker fuels by 40% by 2050 (50% if feasible). Steps have also been taken to develop a strategy to progressively integrate maritime emissions into the EU’s domestic GHG reduction policy.
