Transportation remains one of the largest contributors to greenhouse-gas emissions globally. The emissions intensity of various modes of transport can be tackled through improved fuel efficiency, alternative fuels and new technologies. Although most of the attention focuses on what the operators and the manufacturers of planes, trains, ships and cars are doing to drive decarbonization of transportation, we believe a third group in the transport value chain can play a truly impactful role: transportation infrastructure operators.

Our fundamental research efforts have uncovered numerous examples within the global listed infrastructure (GLI) universe of how transportation infrastructure companies are having an impact beyond their own carbon emissions and helping to reduce emissions across the broader transportation landscape.
