Transportenergie
Transportenergie, or transport energy, denotes the energy consumed to move people and goods by all transportation modes. It is a key part of the energy sector and a standard metric in energy statistics, mobility planning, and climate policy.
Measurement and scope: energy is reported in units such as exajoules or terawatt-hours, and sometimes in tonnes
Efficiency and intensity: energy intensity varies by mode. Rail and maritime transport typically deliver lower energy
Trends and decarbonization: transport energy demand grows with income and population, though efficiency gains, modal shifts,
Policy and planning: strategies to reduce transport energy use include vehicle efficiency standards, fuel taxes or
