Diesel is currently taxed at a lower level than gasoline in Europe; however, since 2011 the EC has been considering reversing that situation by making energy taxes systematically reflect the CO 2 performance of the energy product.

The proposal was drafted as two measures, the Climate Protection Act —which sets the carbon price and finance programs for sustainable technologies—and the Sustainable Energy Act —which ends federal support for fossil fuel companies and research and extends tax incentives for renewables.

In our national effort to reduce carbon emissions, we need a practical, all-of-the-above strategy to help us achieve America’s climate ambitions. However, America’s clean energy transition has been characterized by siloed thinking and inflexibility despite significant advances in low-carbon fuel alternatives. More Work To Do.

The report argues that the biggest component of total transport reductions could come from more energy-efficient vehicles, combined with the gradual introduction of low-carbon fuels and new engine technologies. The report identified five main technology paths towards low-carbon transport.

Cars That Think

AUGUST 20, 2022

With all this, consumers and policymakers alike are hopeful that society will soon greatly reduce its carbon emissions by replacing today’s cars with electric vehicles. Then there is the fuel cycle—the activities associated with producing and using the fuel or electricity to power the vehicle through its working life.

Direct transportation (fuel) taxes generate the greatest reductions in CO 2 emission from transportation, achieving CO 2 emissions at 86% of 2005 levels by about 2025. While CO 2 prices are equivalent to fuel taxes, CO 2 prices at their projected levels are far too small to create a significant incentive to drive less.

In President Obama’s first term, the DOE established new minimum efficiency standards for dishwashers, refrigerators, and many other products. Methane currently accounts for roughly 9% of domestic greenhouse gas emissions and has a global warming potential that is more than 20 times greater than carbon dioxide.

The report addresses topics related to the evolution of vehicle technology and its deployment, the development of alternative fuels and energy sources, the impacts of driver behavior, and the implications of all of these factors on future GHG emissions in the United States, Europe, China, and Japan. —John Heywood.

This is even the case under widespread adoption of the most promising technologies for all transportation modes, due primarily to limitations in biofuel production capacity and a lack of technologies that would drastically reduce CO 2 emissions from heavy trucks and intercontinental aviation, they found.

The policy package includes a new fuel economy readiness index, which measures the extent to which countries have implemented steps that will fully exploit the potential of existing fuel economy technologies and maximise their use in vehicles.

The obvious one is increased fuel taxes, but somehow governments need to make sure the benefits of better technology aren’t wiped out by increased demand for lower-priced fuel. So if governments don’t want to see their greenhouse gas reduction targets go up in smoke, they have to take measures to dampen demand for transport.
