Snapshot of remote Australia

Transport emissions in Australia per regions

Road travel per regions

Causal factors of high remote road emissions• Long distance + 4w drive inefficient vehicles + low occupancy + off-road

environments = average > 15 l per 100 km.

• Freight based livelihoods:• Long transport and processed goods, food and unprocessed waste result in

1.5 tonnes of Co2 per year per person in very remote communities vs. 0.5 tonnes in non-remote areas.

Air Emissions per regions

Remote Australia transport emissions comparisons

Future Emissions in Remote Australia• Mobility will increase in very remote locations, especially in air travel

in the next two decades and with a growing/aging population. Moreover vehicle occupancy will decrease. In a business-as-usual scenario emissions will double by 2035.

Switching to RE powered transport• The energy source of electricity determines the level of emissions. This illustration shows the

annual carbon mitigation potential of EVs for around 150,000 to 200,000 vehicles operated in remote Australia, (50% of the 2035 remote fleet) depending on different energy sources for the electricity.
