Zero emissions transportation refers to modes of transport that do not produce any direct emissions of pollutants or greenhouse gases during operation. This includes a variety of technologies and approaches aimed at reducing the environmental impact of transportation.

This webinar is the second in a three-part series that explores strategies for leveraging GGRF resources to attract private capital into GGRF priority sectors.
