An Analysis study of consumer attitudes towards alternative transport fuels in Algeria

Abstract

This paper tends to highlight some Demand-side solutions in transportation to reach a secure and sustainable energy future. To achieve the purpose of the study, we started with a literature review about consumer behavior and alternative fuels in used in Algeria then we presented the results of a survey providing insight into consumer attitudes and behaviours associated with alternative transport fuels un Algeria. The key findings are: * Most of consumers do care about the type of transport fuel they use, when it comes to the economical aspect. * Most of respondents say they are not willing to shift for alternative transport fuels with lifetime greenhouse gas though their benefits over fossil fuels. * Consumers are generally aware of alternative transport fuels, but they lack the practical understanding required to enable them to modify their behaviours and decisions concerning the environmental dimension. These findings reveal the need for policies that motivate the uptake of alternative transport fuels in Algeria.
