Low Carbon Transport Innovation Strategy (LCTIS)

The Government announced in the Energy Review last year that it would develop a Low Carbon Transport Innovation Strategy (LCTIS).  Development of the strategy reflects the critical role that new technology will play in delivering carbon reductions in the transport sector over the long term.

The LCTIS, which is being published at the same time as the Government's Energy White Paper, sets out an overall framework through which the Government will encourage innovation and technology development in lower carbon transport technologies. It also contains specific chapters on the road, aviation, rail and maritime sectors - setting out in detail the technologies that can contribute to lower carbon transport and the steps the Government is taking to encourage them.

Two supporting consultancy reports are also being published alongside the LCTIS.  These are A Review of the UK Innovation System for Low Carbon Road Transport Technologies by E4tech and A study on Low Carbon Commercial Shipping by AEA Energy and Environment and Newcastle University.
