The Evolution of New Commercial Vehicles in China
2021
Author(s): Mao S, Ragon P-L, Rodriguez F
The authors analyzed at the fuel consumption of internal combustion HDVs manufactured between 2012 and 2017 and certified under Stage 1 and Stage 2 fuel consumption requirements. This research does not include battery or fuel cell electric vehicles.
Guide to Electrifying Ride-Hailing Vehicles for Cities
2021
Author(s): Hall D, Nicholas M, Bernard M R
Technology improvements and commitments by ride-hailing operators and governments alike indicate that ride-hailing fleets are poised to shift to electric vehicles. This shift could result in outsized climate and public health benefits due to the high number of kilometers driven by these vehicles
Assessing the Sustainability Implications of Alternative Aviation Fuels
2021
Author(s): Pavlenko N, Searle S
This working paper provides background and analysis to help identify how an effective policy for alternative aviation fuels could distinguish among fuels that can deliver deep greenhouse (GHG) reductions and those that cannot.
An Assessment of the Policy Options for Driving Sustainable Aviation Fuels in the European Union
2021
Author(s): Pavlenko N
This briefing paper explores the policy options available to increase in sustainable aviation fuels deployment in the EU and discusses their benefits and drawbacks.
The Role of the European Union’s Vehicle CO2 Standards in Achieving the European Green Deal
2021
Author(s): Buysse C, Miller J, Díaz S, Sen A, Braun C
This briefing paper identifies several possible levels of stringency for the post-2021 CO2 standards in the European Union for light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles and compares them against economy-wide greenhouse gas reduction targets for 2030 and 2050, as well as the 2050 target for transport sector emission reductions in the EU Green Deal.
Accounting for Well-To-Wake Carbon Dioxide Equivalent Emissions in Maritime Transportation Climate Policies
2021
Author(s): Comer B, Osipova L
This briefing paper outlines a methodology for calculating well-to-wake CO2-equivalent emissions from four fossil marine fuels: heavy fuel oil, very low sulfur fuel oil, marine gas oil, and liquefied natural gas. Well-to-wake emissions, or life-cycle emissions, are the sum of upstream (well-to-tank) and downstream (tank-to-wake) emissions.
Potential Biofuel Production Pathways in Indonesia
2021
Author(s): Kristiana T, Baldino C
Because of its abundant biofuel feedstocks, Indonesia has the potential to produce biofuels via a number of pathways, including using different technologies and feedstocks to create different fuels.
Santander Consumer Bank Electric Vehicles Portfolio
2019
Author(s): Holmås Heikki E, Jarstein S
This report has been prepared by Multiconsult. On assignment from Santander Consumer Bank, Multiconsult has assessed the impact of electric vehicles in Norway on climate gas emissions
This report is the culmination of a three-year study to examine how the complex interactions between advanced drivetrain options, alternative fuels, refueling infrastructure, consumer choice, vehicle automation, and government policy may shape the future for personal mobility.
Zero and Low Carbon Mobility
2015
Author(s): German Partnership for Sustainable Mobility (GPSM), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH
In Germany, the transport sector accounts for almost 20% of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, 95% of which are emitted by road transport. The Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) has developed a comprehensive strategy to tackle this issue on behalf of the German Federal Government.
