The transport sector as a whole, as well as its road, railway, water and air transport sub-sectors, are developing very quickly. Therefore, they are now facing the challenge to gradually reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases (the main of which is carbon dioxide: CO2). Transport is responsible for up to 20-25% of the global emissions of greenhouse gases. In addition, economic development increases mobility and intensifies freight transport, which results in a growth in demand for energy whose main sources are coal and oil derivative fuels
