Sustainable transport policy: taxes have highest impact in lowering carbon emissions, Denmark
In order to meet global emission reduction targets, the transport sector must
become more sustainable. To assess the impact and effectiveness of various
transport policy measures in reaching emission reduction targets, a quantitative
assessment of policy scenarios was conducted for Denmark. The results indicate
that market signals, in the form of taxes on CO2 and fossil fuels, retain the
highest impact in lowering carbon emissions in the transport sector, while the
promotion of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), rather than autonomous transport, is
the most cost-effective measure.
