With the cost of energy soaring across Europe, governments and NGOs are looking for ways to reduce demand from consumers.
The European Federation for Transport and Environment has released a report outlining how to reduce oil demand by a third, which includes a reduction in driving.
The group this month released a report titled"How Europe can cut a third of its oil demand by 2030." The report details short-, medium-, and long-term steps to be taken for Europe to decrease its oil consumption significantly. One of the key suggestions for short-term measures for reducing oil consumption is, of course, reducing travel by switching to remote work on some days. The T&E authors also propose limiting business travel, especially air travel. And they also propose"Shifting from private car use to transport modes that are fossil free , or more efficient , and shifting some freight to rail or in urban areas to electric or cycle delivery vehicles.
Cheaper bus tickets and more bus lanes can pass for encouraging action but car-free days are a prohibitive action - a radical change of the sort needed to reduce oil consumption by a third will not happen with encouragement alone. Yet T&E also has big plans for maritime transport and for air travel too, beginning with more fuel efficiency, made mandatory by any relevant authority, and, again, speed limits. Speed limits on ships, for instance, can save the equivalent of 9.5 million tons of oil. Of course, it would also affect travel times, which might not be good for supply chains that involve maritime transportation of commodities and goods, but that is now of lesser concern than shaking off the Russian oil shackles.
