Modelling Electric Vehicle Charging Network Capacity and Performance During Short-Notice Evacuations
2021
Author(s): MacDonald CD, Kattan L, Layzell D
In this paper, a generalized framework based on a G/G/c/N queueing model (general arrival process, general service process, c charging stations, and N EVs) was developed to estimate the number of vehicles that can be charged in the pre-departure evacuation stage and thus assess the pre-departure impacts.
Accessibility Analysis for Urban Freight Transport With Electric Vehicles
2021
Author(s): Carrese F, Colombaroni C, Fusco G
The aim of this paper is to depict extremely complex interactions between components of freight distribution systems using an accessibility analysis based on an aggregate approach, rather than cumbersome simulations of all possible tours, customers, and deliveries.
Off-Grid Solar Charging of Electric Vehicles at Long-Term Parking Locations
2021
Author(s): Ghotge R, Wijk Ad van, Lukszo Z
Larger EV fleets lead to an increase in the demand for both electricity and EV charging infrastructure. This work analyses the effectiveness of an off-grid solar photovoltaic system for the charging of electric vehicles (EVs) in a long-term parking lot.
The Value of Consumer Acceptance of Controlled Electric Vehicle Charging in a Decarbonizing Grid: The Case of California
2021
Author(s): Tarroja B, Hittinger E
Concerns about the environmental and energy security consequences of fossil-fuel reliance have prompted regional energy systems to expand their use of sustainable and zero-carbon energy sources. This is reflected in the growing use of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in transportation.
Embedding Imaginaries- Electric Vehicles in Sweden’s Fossil Fuel Free Future
2021
Author(s): Mutter A
The purpose of this study is to explore the interaction between visions of the future and policy through the analysis of one Swedish policy document, a 2013 government investigation Fossil Fuel Freedom on the Road, and its subsequent policy process.
Impacts of COVID-19 on the Electric Vehicle Industry: Evidence From China
2021
Author(s): Wen W, Yang S, Zhou P, Gao SZ
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of COVID-19 impacts on China’s electric vehicle industry from both the demand side and the supply side.
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.
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.
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.
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.
