Paperback : HK$571.00
This book discusses the importance of transitioning from conventionally fuelled, electric and hydrogen personal vehicles towards low carbon electric and hydrogen public transport. It presents international comparisons and case studies of countries who have successfully and unsuccessfully implemented policies to reduce their emissions from land-based transport. It discusses and provides policy recommendations to meet a net zero transport world by exploring potential issues, including infrastructure changes and electricity generation mix which may prevent targets being met successfully. The book also demonstrates how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced individual transport choices and what will need to be done to ensure travel remains sustainable going forward. Aligned with an active area of academic and civil discourse on the topic of sustainable transportation systems, Transportation in a Net Zero World will be of interest to researchers, policy makers, and graduate students alike, in the fields of environmental science and transport studies.

Dr. Kathryn G. Logan is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the
Arizona Institutes for Resilience as part of the University Climate
Change Coalition (UC3) project to help identify and analyse novel
pathways considering trade-offs, synergies, and equity as the City
of Tucson develops their climate action plan. Prior to this, Dr
Logan worked as an Energy Policy Researcher at University College
Dublin, Ireland, investigating energy systems, energy management
and energy in society for both academics and policymakers in
Ireland. Dr Logan obtained both her BSc (Hons) and PhD degrees in
Environmental Science from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland.
Her PhD research investigated the impact of the electrification of
transport and the related trade-offs between greenhouse gas
emission reductions, climate regulation and the potential impact
upon ecosystem services and natural capital. During Dr Logan's PhD
research, she worked as a visiting researcher at Tsinghua
University and Kyoto University doing case study analysis to better
understand different methods of electric vehicle and train
integration.
Dr. Astley Hastings is a Reader in Environmental Science in the
Institute of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the
University of Aberdeen. He is a chartered engineer and
environmental scientist, with a BSc in Mechanical Engineering and
an MSc and PhD in Environmental Science. After 30 years of
commercial experience, working in many senior capacities in the
railway, power and oil and gas industries, Dr. Hastings conducts
research into the greenhouse gas emissions, environmental impact
and its mitigation from land use, low carbon energy and transport
infrastructure. His work also focuses on greenhouse gas removal
using afforestation and bioenergy carbon capture and storage and
decommissioning and reuse of offshore energy assets and the impact
on the environment.
Professor John Nelson holds the Chair in Public Transport,
Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies (ITLS), University of
Sydney. He was previously the Sixth Century Chair of Transport
Studies in the School of Engineering at the University of Aberdeen,
UK, and Director of the Centre for Transport Research. John is
particularly interested in the application and evaluation of new
technologies to improve transport systems as well as the policy
frameworks and regulatory regimes necessary to achieve sustainable
mobility. He an Editorial Board member of several leading journals
and co-author of Understanding Mobility as a Service (MaaS). Past,
Present and Future (Elsevier, 2020), co-editor of Urban Form and
Accessibility: Social, Economic, and Environment Impacts (Elsevier,
2020), and co-editor of The Routledge Handbook of Public Transport
(2021).
