Transport

In 2017, 41% of UK energy demand and 37% of UK GHG emissions were from transport. The Zero Carbon Britain report by the Centre for Alternative Technology makes a proposal for shifting transport away from cars and onto busses, bicycles and motorbikes, and significantly reducing distances travelled. This is shown in the diagrams below.

Transport is not currently addressed in detail in this guide. This may be added to in the future. For now, pages 47 to 53 of the Zero Carbon Britain report 2019 presents a scenario. You may also want to refer to Sustainable Transport without the hot air by Steve Melia
