Accelerating Investment for Road and Rail Decarbonisation

This Special Interest Group White Paper was produced by Ashurst, a member of IPFA.

This Special Interest Group, consisted of a group of industry experts based around the world, explored common challenges and opportunities to the successful decarbonisation of the transport sector.

With transport accounting for approximately 23% of energy-related CO₂ emissions worldwide1, decarbonising the industry is critical to achieving carbon-reduction targets. This is a global challenge, reflected in the Paris Agreement, but is also a key issue across individual jurisdictions. In the UK, for example, decarbonising transport was a key priority in the June 2025 Spending Review.
