Chapter Chapter 18 in Global Investment Decisions in the Circular Economy, 2025, pp 243-259 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract On the rank of top greenhouse gas (GHG) emission sources, transportation sits majorly hence making it imperative to transit to sustainable mobility options. Sustainable transportation generates renewable power, electrification, and intelligent mobility solutions, resulting in lessening of carbon traces while pockets some economic and social benefits. In this chapter, green transport investments are examined—examinations mainly embrace electric vehicles (EVs), hydrogen fuel technology, biofuels, and public transport dependent on renewable energy. It examines government policies, financial subsidies, and investments from the private sector in mobilizing sustainable mobility. The chapter also talks about applying circular economy philosophy to transport with an emphasis on resource utilization, vehicle recycling, and shared mobility solutions. The document finally pinpoints the hurdles and prospects of future low-carbon transport system development while highlighting the call for concerted efforts by policymakers, stakeholders, and investors.
