Offsetting diesel emissions in semis is the next step (Tesla), and Rivian is working on lighter duty delivery trucks (for Amazon)... many other trucks are already natural gas or otherwise zero emissions including busses, apart from most school busses unfortunately... the per capita emissions of large passenger planes isn't as bad as cars and trucks, but my understanding is boats and airplanes are very difficult to solve for with batteries due to weight, range, and capacity loss over time.
