Sector Classification
Transportation
Development need
The transportation sector constitutes the largest proportion of final energy consumption across all sectors, at 40%, and remains the most emission-intensive sector responsible for 60% of CO2 emissions, compared to the global average of 20%. The road, maritime and rail networks suffer from outdated equipment and lack of upgrades, resulting in low travel speeds, frequent disruption's and inefficient freight transport (1, 2).
Policy priority
National Strategy for Integration and European Integration (2022-30) acknowledges need for affordable transportations links to improve quality in life in remote areas, while the Government Program 2021-25 includes modernization of transport services among its key goals, providing grants up to EUR 5 million to enterprises in the transport sector (6, 7).
Gender inequalities and marginalization issues
Existing poor state of the transportation infrastructure hinders economic growth and private sector development in rural areas, directly impacting agricultural competitiveness & regional integration. Many people living in remote areas cannot easily meet their daily needs for health care/medicine, food and other basic supplies partly due to a lack of affordable transportation (3, 4, 6).
Investment opportunities introduction
Transportation falls under the strategic investments determined by the Law on Strategic Investments of 2015, providing incentives for investments between EUR 30-50 million (USD 32 - 53 million). Albanian Investment Development Agency lists road, rail, sea, and air transport as key investment opportunities due to the country's strategic location and connection to European corridors (6, 12, 13).
Key bottlenecks introduction
Alignment of national legislation with that of the EU for transport of goods and passengers, construction of necessary infrastructure for road and maritime transport and development of electric transport, observance of technical standards for transport safety, maintaining existing infrastructure, and development of intermodal capacities are cited as the key challenges facing the sector (6).
Land Transportation
Development need
The road and rail networks fall short of neighbouring European standards. Of the 18,000km road network, only 35% is paved, and 80% is in poor condition. The rail system lacks modern upgrades, like electrification and updated communication systems, causing slow travel, frequent disruptions, limited passenger services, and inefficient freight transport (2, 4, 5).
Policy priority
The Economic Reform Programme 2022-2024, includes electrification of key transport lines under its planned activities and lists the rehabilitation and construction of the Durres-TIA-Tirana railway as part of key reform measures. The Nationally Determined Contributions of the country includes key mitigation measures in the sector including increasing share of public transport for passengers and freight, and shifting road transport to other modalities including rail (8, 9).
Gender inequalities and marginalization issues
Women in rural areas, experience limited access to transportation, with direct implications on access to health, social services, and economic opportunities, partly due to gender stereotypes where vehicle operation is associated under male responsibility. Even in rural district women rely more heavily on public transportation, with 60% of bus passengers in Tirana being women (10, 11).
Investment opportunities introduction
Transportation infrastructure investments, including road and railway structures and exports of associated machinery and know-how are cited as key opportunities for foreign investors. The Economic Reform Programme 2023-2025 allocates ALL 0.43 billion (USD 4.3 million) to support public transport and ALL 120 million (USD 1.2 million) to urban transport sectors (14, 15).
Key bottlenecks introduction
Widening infrastructure gap, state ownership and governance and slow pace of sector reform, adopting a low carbon approach across the sector, road safety and environmental and social risks, and progress on electric mobility over long distances and associated infrastructure are among the key bottlenecks (2).

Business Case
Market Size and Environment
USD 50 million - USD 100 million
204 km of railway network, serving 139,000 tons of volume of goods and 3,290 passengers in 2023.
European Bank of Reconstruction and Western Balkans Investment Framework provided a loan of EUR 36.9 million (USD 39.4 million) and grant of EUR 35.5 million (USD 37.9 million), respectively, for the rehabilitation of the Tirana-Durres line and the construction of a 5 km railway branch between Tirana and Rinas Airport, to serve both passenger and freight transport (17).
EBRD has also provided a sovereign loan up to EUR 98.75 million (USD 105.55 million) to the Republic of Albania, benefitting Albanian Railways (HSH) to finance the rehabilitation and electrification of the railway line between Vlore and Hani i Hotit on the border with Montenegro. The Project will be co-financed by the EIB and the Western Balkans Investment Framework which has provided investment grants in the amount of up to EUR 125.8 million (USD 134.46 million) and technical assistance grants in the amount of up to EUR 12.1 million (USD 12.93 million) (21).
The length of the railway network in use in Albania is 204 km; volume of goods transported in 2023 reached 139,000 tons and 3,290 passengers used rail transport as a means of travel during the first quarter of 2023 (22).

Impact Case
Sustainable Development Need
Albania's railway network remains outdated and has suffered from a lack of significant upgrades, including the absence of electrification, obsolete telecommunication and signalling systems, where the entire network remains a single track, and remains un-electrified (5, 15).
The limited infrastructure of the network results in low travel speeds with a maximum operating speed of 40 km/h falling to 20 km/h in some sections, frequent traffic disruptions, seasonal passenger services, and inefficient freight transport negatively impact agricultural competitiveness & regional integration of the private sector (3, 4, 26).
Road transport remains the main means for passenger and freight transportation, rendering the sector the largest contributor to GHG emissions at 60%. Rehabilitating and expand the railway network is pivotal to de-carbonize the transport system and improving the environmental conditions, especially addressing air pollution in metropolitan areas (2, 15).
Gender & Marginalisation
People living in remote areas, such as rural regions or urban peripheries experience difficulties in accessing key services including health and education, and employment opportunities due to the decaying transportation infrastructure and over-dependence on road transport through private means (6).
The construction industry exhibits a substantial gender disparity, with women comprising less than 5% of the workforce. Additionally, women's reliance on transportation infrastructure and services is higher, influenced by gender-specific travel patterns, preferred modes of transport, and utilization of infrastructure and services (28).
Expected Development Outcome
Investments in railway upgrades and electrification will address the outdated railway infrastructure, leading to future improvements in railway efficiency, safety, travel speed, reduced disruptions, and increased capacity.
Investments in the railway network will promote a shift to intermodal transport as an alternative to road transport directly benefitting agricultural competitiveness and regional integration of the private sector through interregional transport and cross-border connections with neighbouring countries (15, 27).
Gender & Marginalisation
Investments in railway infrastructure will enhance greater use and accessibility to rail transport, producing socio-economic benefits to local communities and businesses, providing an affordable and sustainable alternative to road transportation (27) .
Investments enhancing railway infrastructure and connectivity will be especially advantageous for women, given their higher dependence on transportation services and infrastructure due to gender-specific travel patterns (28).
Rail network expansion and upgrading investments will enable faster, more regular train services between urban centers and the outskirts, enhancing local communities' access to services including health and education, and economic opportunities (27).
Primary SDGs addressed
9.1.2 Passenger and freight volumes, by mode of transport
9.4.1 CO2 emission per unit of value added
Number of passengers 24,018 by rail, 862,757 by sea, 2,928,275 by air in 2021. The volume of goods transported by rail was 139,000 tons in 2023 (22, 29).
The transportation sector constitutes the largest proportion of final energy consumption across all sectors, at 40%, and remains the most emission-intensive sector responsible for 60% of CO2 emissions, compared to the global average of 20% (2).
N/A
The sustainable transport plan aimed for a 16% reduction in Co2 emissions from road transport by 2020. Under its Nationally Determined Contributions, Albania committed to a GHG emissions by 20.9% by 2030 (31, 33).
11.2.1 Proportion of population that has convenient access to public transport, by sex, age and persons with disabilities
Data on access to public transport in Albania is limited, most intra-urban transport is carried out by private companies (30).

Outcome Risks
Railway projects can lead to increased energy consumption and decreased energy efficiency, unless energy-efficient technologies and practices during rail operations are deployed.
The construction process including clearing land for railway tracks may disrupt local ecosystems and wildlife habitats, negatively impacted by noise, vibrations, and changes in land use (27).
Gender inequality and/or marginalization risk: Populations residing along railway infrastructure projects, especially owners of agricultural land, can face involuntary resettlements and adverse social and economic impacts from land acquisition or restriction (32).
Impact Risks
Climate change, including rainfall and sea-level rise risks and natural disasters can impact delivery of railway services, limiting positive impact (32).
Lack of controlled safety systems for trains' movement along the line can increase the risk of accidents and cause safety hazards (26).
Without consistent maintenance services, transport infrastructure is prone to deterioration over time, constraining effectiveness, given that the typical lifespan of most transportation-related assets is a maximum of 50 years (2).
Gender inequality and/or marginalization risk: If the infrastructure fails to extend to rural or poorly maintained areas, either due to cost constraints or accessibility challenges, its impact may be restricted, as it would not effectively reach crucial stakeholders.
