Abstract:

This publication presents a summary of the workshop “Life cycle assessment methods to support India’s efforts to decarbonise transport” organised by the International Transport Forum and the National Institute for Transforming India (NITI Aayog) in April 2021. Seventy-seven international and Indian experts took stock of existing work on assessing life-cycle emissions in transport and explored how current knowledge can support India’s policies to decarbonize transport. The workshop also identified policy priorities and potential regulatory gaps arising from new vehicle technologies, fuel types and mobility services entering the mass market.
