It is widely accepted that transport is one of the main drivers for the increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Globally, transport is responsible for estimated 13% of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Increase in transport emissions has been attributed mainly to increasing numbers of light duty vehicles (passenger cars and smaller road freight vehicles) and heavy goods vehicles (larger road freight vehicles). 

Development is likely be accompanied by some negative environmental impacts, including an increase in carbon emissions from the use of fossil fuels. Our approach is to help better manage carbon emissions arising as a result of transport projects in these areas through the implementation of ‘Carbon Neutral Transport Hubs’. 

The concept of a Carbon Neutral Transport initiative to reduce environmental impacts is well established. Some countries have adopted a ‘greenway’ approach to highway and road development - where landscape around road projects is protected so as to maximize on the value of non-monetary benefits of the landscape - i.e. recreation, ecotourism, ecosystem conservation etc. Building on this concept, a carbon neutral transportation hub include systems to both reduce carbon emissions (through energy efficiency and cleaner fuels) and offset carbon emissions (through sequestration and conservation projects), seeking no net gains in the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere.
