On Thursday, November 30, ConservAmerica hosted a webinar on Decarbonizing the Freight Transportation Sector. As the world focuses on more sustainable practices, the role of the freight sector is critical. Projections show that between 2020 and 2050, U.S. freight tonnage will grow by 50 percent. The International Energy Agency estimates that oil demand from trucking alone will grow 25% by 2040. So even as manufacturers expand production of electric passenger and freight vehicles, the near-term growth in freight movements means increased environmental and climate impacts.
