Abstract

The Saudi government has outlined its decarbonization strategy through various statements and reports, identifying key initiatives, preferred technologies, and investment targets to drive this transformation. In this study, we employ Integrated Assessment Modeling (IAM) to evaluate the long-term impacts of Saudi Arabia’s commitment to NetZero GHG emissions by 2060, focusing on the road passenger transport sector. This paper explores decarbonization pathways for road passenger transport. It examines the potential transition to alternative vehicle technologies and public transport modes, such as buses and rail, to achieve the NetZero targets.
