Ahead of the curve with innovative energy intelligence solutions driving transformation in transportation
Supporting with market expertise
The transportation sector is in the middle of a structural shift. Pressure to reduce emissions from road, aviation and shipping remains strong – but the policy environment has grown more complex, with diverging approaches across regions and a recalibration of public incentives in key markets.
In the US, federal support for electric vehicles has been substantially scaled back, introducing new uncertainty around the pace of road transport electrification. State-level programs and private investment continue to fill some of the gap, but the trajectory has changed. In Europe, regulatory ambition remains higher, with binding SAF blending mandates for aviation now in force and shipping facing tighter IMO emissions targets. Across both regions, a recurring theme is emerging: policy intent is running ahead of supply chains, infrastructure and production capacity.
Rystad Energy provides the data and analysis needed to clearly assess these transitions. Our coverage spans road transport, aviation and shipping, alongside the charging, fuelling and bunkering infrastructure that underpins each mode. We track regulatory developments, model alternative fuel economics and quantify investment requirements – helping operators, fuel producers, infrastructure developers and investors navigate an increasingly fragmented policy landscape. As timelines shift and cost dynamics evolve, Rystad Energy offers the independent intelligence needed to make sound decisions in the energy transition.
