Statement of the Problem: Global greenhouse gas emissions have reached 37 bln tons in 2018. The transport
sector is the second most significant atmospheric pollutant (after electricity and heat production). In particular,
it contributes 23% of global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions and has a growth rate of about 2% annually.
Thus, green mobility has become one of the most recent global trends. The growth of electric vehicles segment is
one of the consequences of the above trend. The purpose of this article is to describe modern global trends in green
transportation and to propose a possible solution.
Findings: By using the instruments of comparative analysis we prove the disadvantages of the existing transport.
Taking the above into account, we propose a new approach to transportation. And we suggest considering the
innovative transport SkyWay (passenger and cargo) as one of the most efficient global solutions in terms of ecological
sustainability. SkyWay transport system, when applied globally, can save annually about 30 bln tons of fuel and 106
bln tons of oxygen, which would be needed for burning the above fuel, and prevent the emission of about 1.7 bln
tons of harmful substances to the atmosphere. Besides, by moving transport to the second level (above the ground),
we can return to the agriculture (and oxygen production) about 1 mln square km of soil, which is currently covered
by asphalt.
Conclusion & Significance: SkyWay is an innovative transport system, which can significantly contribute to the
realization of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Taking the above into account, SkyWay has a great potential
for future implementation worldwide, especially in the countries supporting green technologies.
