Hard-to-abate decarbonization made achievable

Transportation sector decarbonization poses unique challenges. Traditional fuels like heavy oil and jet fuel are carbon intensive, but the costs, risks, and abatement potential of next generation fuels like green hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel, and ammonia vary significantly depending on technology readiness, production pathways, and location.
