The U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization outlines the most aggressive transition away from fossil fuels, with the goal of achieving zero petroleum-based fuels by 2050.

The EU Fit for 55 package and Green Deal set ambitious climate targets, including a 90% reduction in transport emissions by 2050. While electrification dominates passenger and light commercial transport, the EU sees hydrogen as a cornerstone for heavy transport, aviation, and industry.

hina, the world’s largest transportation energy consumer, has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, placing it ten years behind the EU and U.S. However, its transition is expected to accelerate rapidly after 2040 due to:

• Government-controlled industrial shifts
• Delayed phaseout of fossil fuels
• Heavy investment in battery-electric transport
• State-led hydrogen initiatives
• Maritime sector focus on LNG and ammonia
• Aviation biofuels as a later-stage priority

Brazil is unique in the global energy transition due to its strong biomass resources, making biofuels the dominant alternative to fossil fuels. Unlike the U.S. and EU, which focus on e-fuels and hydrogen, Brazil will rely primarily on ethanol and biodiesel to decarbonize transport.
