Last year (2024), Clean energy for EU islands conducted a study:
Decarbonisation of Transport in Saaremaa and Ruhnu, which are islands in Western Estonia.

Key recommendations:
- Electrification first – Electric vehicles (EVs) are the most energy-efficient and cost-effective option, with a high level of technological maturity.
- Alternative fuels with caution – Hydrogen vehicles, while promising, remain costly, infrastructure-intensive, and less energy efficient.
- Implementation pathway – A phased transition strategy considering technological readiness, economic feasibility, and local objectives.
This report provides valuable insights for island communities looking to decarbonise their transport sector in a practical and cost-effective way. Scaling up clean mobility solutions is key to a greener, more resilient future for EU islands!
