Global Transportation Demand Development with Impacts on the Energy Demand and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in a Climate-Constrained World
Open accessAbstract
The pivotal target of the Paris Agreement is to keep temperature rise well below 2 °C above the pre-industrial level and pursue efforts to limit temperature rise to 1.5 °C. To meet this target, all energy-consuming sectors, including the transport sector, need to be restructured. The transport sector accounted for 19% of the global final energy demand in 2015, of which the vast majority was supplied by fossil fuels (around 31,080 TWh). Fossil-fuel consumption leads to greenhouse gas emissions, which accounted for about 8260 MtCO2eq from the transport sector in 2015. This paper examines the transportation demand that can be expected and how alternative transportation technologies along with new sustainable energy sources can impact the energy demand and emissions trend in the transport sector until 2050. Battery-electric vehicles and fuel-cell electric vehicles are the two most promising technologies for the future on roads. Electric ships and airplanes for shorter distances and hydrogen-based synthetic fuels for longer distances may appear around 2030 onwards to reduce the emissions from the marine and aviation transport modes. The rail mode will remain the least energy-demanding, compared to other transport modes. An ambitious scenario for achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 is applied, also demonstrating the very high relevance of direct and indirect electrification of the transport sector. Fossil-fuel demand can be reduced to zero by 2050; however, the electricity demand is projected to rise from 125 TWhel in 2015 to about 51,610 TWhel in 2050, substantially driven by indirect electricity demand for the production of synthetic fuels. While the transportation demand roughly triples from 2015 to 2050, substantial efficiency gains enable an almost stable final energy demand for the transport sector, as a consequence of broad electrification. The overall well-to-wheel efficiency in the transport sector increases from 26% in 2015 to 39% in 2050, resulting in a respective reduction of overall losses from primary energy to mechanical energy in vehicles. Power-to-fuels needed mainly for marine and aviation transport is not a significant burden for overall transport sector efficiency. The primary energy base of the transport sector switches in the next decades from fossil resources to renewable electricity, driven by higher efficiency and sustainability.

TL;DR
This paper models a global 100% renewable transport transition to 2050 under a 1.5 °C-compatible scenario, covering road, rail, marine, and aviation passenger and freight demand. It finds that despite roughly tripling transport demand, final energy demand stays near 2015 levels due to electrification and efficiency, with fossil fuel demand reduced to zero by 2050.
Key findings
- Global transport final energy demand remains almost stable: 31,613 TWh in 2015 to 32,542 TWh in 2050, while transport activity rises 257% for passenger and 208% for freight; mechanical energy demand increases 104.5% and primary energy demand 36.3%.
- Fossil-fuel demand can be reduced to zero by 2050; electricity demand rises from 125 TWh_el in 2015 to about 51,610 TWh_el in 2050, driven substantially by indirect electricity demand for synthetic fuels.
- Well-to-wheel efficiency increases from 26% in 2015 to 39% in 2050; tank-to-wheel efficiency rises from 31% to 62%, while well-to-tank efficiency falls from 82% to 62%. The primary energy base switches from 95% fossil in 2015 to 98% renewable electricity in 2050.
- Battery-electric vehicles become the least-cost road option from 2025 onward: LDV BEV LCOM falls from 0.491 €/km in 2015 to 0.281 €/km in 2050, versus LDV ICE rising from 0.299 to 0.350 €/km. GHG emissions are projected to peak between 2020 and 2025 (Discussion; Conclusions says 2025–2030) and decline to zero by 2050.
Methods
- Scenario-based global transport transition model to 2050 in 5-year intervals, covering four modes—road, rail, marine, and aviation—split into passenger and freight, with country/region resolution across nine major regions using GDP per capita and population to disaggregate demand.
- Demand data from ICCT, IMO, ICAO, UN population, and Toktarova et al. GDP/capita projections; specific energy demand and fuel shares from literature; road vehicle stock and fuel shares derived via levelized cost of mobility (LCOM) using capex, opex, lifetimes, 7% WACC, and CO₂ price; final energy and GHG emissions calculated via equations, with well-to-wheel/tank-to-wheel efficiency analysis.
- A single ambitious 1.5 °C-compatible 100% renewable scenario is applied; the paper states it is not intended to compare several scenarios within this framework.
Limitations
- Stated: the study presents one stringent scenario rather than comparing multiple scenarios; full LCOM is considered only for the road mode, while fuel shares for other modes come from other sources; further research is needed on socio-technical dynamics, material resource limitations, financial parameter setup, and synthetic fuel phase-in.
- Evident: the analysis relies heavily on exogenous projections and assumptions—GDP, population, technology costs, fuel shares, and lifetimes—without sensitivity analysis; the paper also notes uncertainty about whether hydrogen will dominate marine transport by 2050.

The introduction and §1.2, “Purpose and Structure of This Book” (page unavailable), discuss tourism’s energy use and transport generally but give no marine passenger energy-demand figure. Searches for 2.5 MJ, ferries and cruise ships, and marine passenger energy demand in 2010 found no passage supporting the stated average. (LLM, conf=0.72)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
