How do we clean up Australia’s transport?

Giving Australians the cleaner transport options they want and need. Our transport sector is the 3rd largest source of greenhouse pollution - and it's growing. How does the transport sector put emissions into reverse and clean up its act?

What is a Fuel Efficiency Standard (FES)?

Fuel efficiency standards are rules that require vehicle manufacturers to reduce the amount of pollution from the vehicles they sell. The standards put a limit on the total average emissions across all cars sold by each manufacturer, incentivising the development and sale of more efficient vehicles, to balance out the sale of more polluting vehicles.

Greenpeace Australia Pacific's submission for the National Battery Strategy.  

The rare-earth minerals used in the construction of batteries have been tied to serious environmental harms as well as labour and community rights violations. The solution for Australia is to focus on minimising those harms as much as possible. Read Greenpeace's recommendations for managing the externalities involved in a scale-up of battery production and use here.

Greenpeace Australia Pacific's submission to the National Electric Vehicle Strategy

The top priority of Australia's National Electric Vehicle strategy must be the urgent and rapid reduction of emissions from the transport sector. This requires at least a 74% reduction in domestic emissions by 2030 on 2005 levels and net zero by 2035. Read more of Greenpeace's consultation paper here.
