To reach the Green Deal’s goal of climate neutrality by 2050, the transport sector must reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 90%. But not all transport means are equal: cars and trucks are major emitters (72% of all transport-related greenhouse gas emissions), while rail (0.5%) is not. Consequently, radically decarbonizing road transportation is a major goal of the Green Deal.
European Green Deal: a tipping point for good
Choosing sustainability does not mean sacrifice, it actually drives progress.
Renovation and transport electrification help deliver Paris goals
Electric vehicles are a key component for the EU to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
Building renovation speeds up EV revolution
How can building renovations throughout the EU help speed up the electric vehicle revolution?
Buildings can pave the way for EV revolution
Installing one million electric vehicle charging stations will cut carbon emissions and contribute to a greener EU.
The changing role of the humble lamp post
The humble street lamp post of old has evolved. Explore the potential of smart, connected street lighting and how it can play a part in digitalizing cities to make them safer, connected and more sustainable.
Biodiversity
A farm-to-fork approach helps to preserve the world’s food supply. LED grow lights boost crop quality and yield with up to half the energy consumption. Lighting designed for vertical farming near cities reduces the carbon and water use, and reduces food miles, while aquaculture lighting increases yield, improves feed conversion and improves animal welfare.
Renovation wave
With energy savings of up to 80% and the potential to save 100 megatons of GHG emissions per year, LED and connected lighting is a quick and easy win for sustainable renovation, smart cities, and building the digital infrastructure that a carbon-neutral economy requires.
Clean energy
Harness the power of sunlight with hybrid and solar street lighting. Minimize emissions, build a citywide digital infrastructure, and scale up the use of renewables in your municipality. Use the energy savings to support integrated initiatives, such as powering electric vehicles.
