• Characterization of the current state of the transport sector, particularly land and maritime heavy-duty transport.
• Evaluation of the penetration of alternative fuels in the heavy-duty transport in Spain and Portugal, including fleets, fuel supply infrastructure, and utilization.
• Status of projects for the production of biomethane and hydrogen, particularly those aimed at supplying land and martime transport demand.
• Identification and evaluation of recent regulatory developments relevant to the objectives of the study, and analysis of compliance with energy policy objectives.
• Carry out a comparison between the situation in Spain and Portugal and the leading European countries in production and use of renewable gases for transport.
