The report from a task force assembled by the CEPS (Centre for European Policy Studies), a Brussels-based think tank, on European transport policy has concluded that the EU’s goal of a 60% greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction in the transport sector in 2050 compared to 1990 levels is possible, but at a cost.

If the EU is to meet its overall target of cutting total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 80% relative to 1990 by 2050, then transport must reduce its emissions by 50-80% compared to 1990, according to the report from the “ EU Transport GHG: Routes to 2050? Conclusions on reducing transport’s GHG emissions to 2050.

Among the proposals in the new US highway and transportation funding reauthorization bill, outlined by House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman James L. in a press conference last week, is the linkage of transportation planning with greenhouse gas emissions reductions.

The legislation also proposes numerous actions against financing and support for fossil fuel industries. Imported fuels and products would also be charged the same carbon fee that domestic fuels and products play, unless the exporting nation has similar climate program and already charges a fee on carbon.

Although innovations in vehicle and fuel technology will have a substantial effect on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation in the US, those gains will largely be offset by increases in travel along with growth in the US population, according to a new report from transportation consultancy Cambridge Systematics.

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.

CO 2 emissions from transportation sector by scenario in the study. Economy-wide CO 2 prices of $30-60/t CO 2 are too weak on their own to motivate significant reductions in CO 2 emissions from transportation. The key to obtaining significant reductions in transportation-related GHG emissions is to increase the cost of driving.

Meanwhile, significant gains in vehicle fuel economy over the coming decades are possible and very much needed globally in order to address pressing issues of climate change, energy security and sustainable mobility.

Early in September, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) announced it would consider in a 23-24 October meeting amendments to the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) regulation that would modify the requirements for intermediate volume manufacturers (IVMs) selling into the state to allow them more time to come into the market.

A new study by the French institute Enerdata, commissioned by the European Federation for Transport & Environment (T&E), suggests that the European CO 2 standards for new vehicles due to come into effect in 2012 will lead not only to a European savings on oil (mainly via lower oil import volumes) but also to slightly lower global oil prices.

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.

But EVs come with important weaknesses, and so people shouldn’t count on them alone to do the job, even for the transportation sector. 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. Number of EVs on the road in China in 2021.
