Abstract
Costa Rica is internationally recognized for its fight against climate change. In 2019, the country launched its National Decarbonization Plan (NDP), presenting concrete actions in the short, mid, and long terms to reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. The decarbonization of the transport sector is critical to meet this target as it accounts for more than 50% of the country’s net emissions. Plus, it can benefit from its nearly 100% renewable electricity system and its abundant renewable sources to feed the future energy demand for transportation, thus increasing energy independence.
