Decarbonizing America’s Transportation and Supply Chain Infrastructure

July 10, 2024

Across North America, extensive efforts are now underway on the national and regional level to lower the carbon footprint of our cities, including the transportation infrastructure, power supply, and buildings we rely on.

This entails a carefully considered transition to renewable energy and clean mobility solutions  by the country’s ports, airports, logistics centers, truck fleets and city transportation networks. 

On July 10, CityAge is bringing together a select group of national and regional leaders in a national webinar that will highlight success stories for decarbonizing fleets and buildings via clean mobility and power solutions - featuring companies and stakeholders in every step of their decarbonization journey. We will feature success stories, challenges, and partnership opportunities to decarbonize this vital sector of the economy.

This free event supported by Shell Energy, is part of our CityAge 2024 campaign to look at North America’s transition to a net zero future.
