Evaluating Electric Vehicle Costs and Benefits in China in the 2020–2035 Time Frame
2021
Author(s): Lutsey N, Cui H, Yu R
This study includes full battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and assesses costs for various vehicle classes in the China passenger vehicle market, including cars and sport utility vehicles.
New fuel consumption limits for passenger vehicles are scheduled to take effect in India in FY 2022–23, and this paper examines the performance of manufacturer groups with respect to new passenger vehicles sold in FY 2019–20.
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.
