SEPTEMBER 29, 2020

DHL Global Forwarding, the air and ocean freight specialist of Deutsche Post DHL Group, says it will be neutralizing the carbon emissions of all less-than-container load (LCL) ocean freight shipments from 1 January 2021. To fight against climate change, the transport sector needs true decarbonization.

The EPA last week announced stricter emissions standards for heavy-duty commercial vehicles, such as trucks and buses, for model years 2027 to 2032. Like the new emissions standards for passenger cars recently confirmed, these rules do not mandate EVs, but do set much tougher emissions targets that will likely lead to more EV sales.

Growing focus on eco-mobility, EVs and ESG Cut to 2024 when countries, corporates and citizens are all seized of the urgency to enhance the green quotient in every sphere of life, including transportation. That means slamming the brakes on biodiversity loss, putting a stop to pollution, and slashing greenhouse gas emissions globally.

DeCicco: Transportation GHG reduction policy should focus upstream on fuel supply rather than downstream on choice of fuels in vehicles

JANUARY 25, 2013

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. —“Factor Analysis of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Automobiles”.

OCTOBER 9, 2009

Including biofuels under a cap-and-trade scheme could create a more complete carbon management framework for the transportation fuels sector, according to a new peer-reviewed discussion paper by Dr. John DeCicco. In particular, it fails to cover many GHG emissions during the production of biofuels and their feedstocks.
