John DeCicco at the University of Michigan argues that to reduce transportation sector greenhouse gas emissions, the proper policy focus should be upstream in sectors that provide the fuel, rather than downstream on the choice of fuels in the automobile. The paper is available from the Social Science Research Network (SSRN).

The IMO’s previous goal was a 50 percent reduction by 2050 in comparison with 2008 levels. Hedging its bets, the industry is exploring ammonia, batteries, and hydrogen, among other options for powering ships. Land-based nuclear power plants, for comparison, are constructed on site and typically far exceed their budgets and schedules.

In principle, NGVs can also provide a pathway to hydrogen but more research is required to assess how and to which degree this can be accomplished. For various reasons, the potential to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by replacing large quantities of diesel fuel consumption in HDVs by natural gas has been underutilised.
