Description
Climate Change Business Journal® assesses the trends shaping the $296-billion transportation segment of the U.S. climate change industry in 2023. Greenhouse gas emissions data is reviewed by region and sector, but trends in electric vehicles, the EV supply chain, EV charging infrastructure, biofuels, hydrogen and transit systems are only starting to show up in GHG figures. Private companies, investors and government agencies are all playing roles in technology and business, and leadership positions may have taken shape in EVs, but winners and losers will be determined in multiple billion-dollar segments based on decisions made in the 2020s. Either way, engineers and planners will be called upon to lead and support the transport, and to conceive, plan, design, build, operate and maintain the transportation infrastructure of the future. (See Table of Contents and Exhibit List below for more details.)
