Being the Transport Sector (TS) highly intensive in fossil fuels consumption, it is delaying the transition to a low-carbon economies.

In 2010 TS was responsible for:

  • 19% of the global energy used, being 96% from oil,
  • 60% of the global oil used, and
  • 23% of global CO2 emissions (source: World Energy Council, 2011).

In 2014, in the EU countries, TS was responsible for:

  • 33% of final energy consumption, being 94% from oil,
  • 25.5% of the GHG emissions (source: European Commission,2016)

This study uses annual panel data from 1990 to 2014 for 21 high-income OECD countries.

Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States.

VARIABLES USED INCLUDES:

  • Gross Domestic Product per capita (LGDP)
  • TS fossil fuels (coal, crude, oil and natural gas) consumption per capita (LFOSSIL)
  • TS renewables fuels consumption per capita (LRES)
  • TS electricity consumption per capita (LELE)
  • CO2 emissions (LCO2)

Data characteristics

Cross-section Dependence test (CD-test)

  • Suggests the presence of the cross-section dependence, however, DLELE only exhibits cross-

section dependence at 10% level of significance .

Panel Unit Root test

  • Second-generation unit root test (CIPS) was performed, and suggest that the variables are I(1).
  • For DLELE both first- and second-generation unit root test, and they are indicating that the

variables are I(1).

Correlation and multicollinearity

  • Correlation matrix values and the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) were analysed, and confirm

that neither correlation or multicollinearity are deserving concern.

Faced with variables potentially endogenous the use of Panel Data Vector Autoregressive (PVAR) is suitable. The estimator proposed by Love and Zicchino (2006) supports stationary endogenous variables as well as the unobserved individual heterogeneity.

  • DLFF ↔ DLGDP – The positive bidirectional causality shows the importance of

this sector for the entries dynamics of the economy as well as their intensity

  • n the fossil fuels use.
  • DLRES ↔ DLGDP – The renewable fuels is hampering the economic growth.

This outcome could come from excessive costs associated. The reduction of the economic growth also implies the reduction of the renewable fuels consumption.

  • DLELE ↔ DLGDP - The TS electricity consumption affects the economic

growth positively. The economic growth causes the TS electricity consumption

  • nly at 10% level of significance. This means that the penetration of the

electricity within the TS are not significantly dependent from the economic performance.

  • DLFF ↔ DLRES– Although the renewables fuels only causes the fossil

fuels at 10% level of significance, there is evidence that the renewable fuels could contribute to reduce the fossil fuels consumption.

  • DLRES ↔ DLELE – There is evidence of the negative bidirectional causality.

This show us a kind of the substitution effect between electricity and renewable fuels.

  • DLELE ↔ DLFF – The electricity

use are contributing to reduce the dependence on the fossil fuels.

  • DLCO2 ≠ DLELE – The electricity consumption not contributes to reduce

the CO2 emissions, neither vice-versa.

  • DLCO2 → DLRES – The renewables fuels have been promoted for the

environmental protection. However, it has not had any direct impact on the CO2 emissions.

  • DLCO2 ↔ DLFF – This results corroborates with the amply documented in

the literature wherein the TS is highly harmful to the environment .

Answering the questions

What are the consequences of the alternative TS energy sources on the TS decarbonization?

  • Both the electricity and renewables fuels must be pursued to decarbonize the
  • TS. Although they are not having any direct impact on the CO2 emissions

reduction, actually, they contributes to reducing the fossil fuels consumption. Are both the conventional and alternative TS energy sources contributing to the economic growth?

  • The electricity use on TS is contributing to the economic growth, but the

renewable fuels are hampering it. On the shift pathways to low-carbon TS the alternative energy sources plays a fundamental role. However, the negative effect of the renewable fuels on the economic growth must deserve further attention.
