Sustainability in Transportation Infrastructure
Ports, airports, rail, water, cycle and road routes play a central role in the transition to climate-neutral transport. Cities must ensure that cycle paths are well developed and that streets and parking spaces can be used for various means of transport. More charging stations for electric vehicles are needed, and parking spaces should be equipped with solar-powered roofs. More noise protection is required.
Highways can be used to generate electricity from wind and solar, hydrogen inland cargo ships need new filling stations. The expansion of runways requires ecological compensation areas. Sustainability in transport infrastructure means taking steps towards a climate-friendly and diverse transport system based on renewable energy. The environment and nature must be protected in order to enable a sustainable transport transition.

The industry’s central sustainability lever is the “enabler” role for a climate-neutral transport transition. It is important to rethink the transport infrastructure for a climate-neutral economy in terms of planning, construction, operation, maintenance, dismantling and recycling. The life cycle, service life, economic viability and environmental impact of transport infrastructure structures must be taken into account. Sustainable construction with wood or low-carbon cement will be crucial: When renovating countless bridges or building new cycle paths and rails, resource conservation and circular design must be taken into account from the outset.
