IEA working paper highlights potential role of natural gas in reducing global road transport CO2

Green Car Congress

NGV [natural gas vehicle] programmes are usually driven by other goals than greenhouse-gas reduction, although NGVs can certainly contribute to decarbonising transportation and as such should be part of plans to move towards sustainable transport. The paper uses Brazil, India, Iran, Pakistan, the US and Europe as case studies.

Electrification gaining momentum in fleet vehicle industry – Charged EVs

Baua Electric

To reduce CO2 emissions, many countries signed the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate, pledging to cut their emissions by certain targets. It also proposed multi-pollutant emissions standards for light-duty and medium-duty vehicles for model years 2027 and later.

UC Davis, ITDP study suggests global shift to public transport, NMT and away from cars could save $100T through 2050 and cut GHGs

Green Car Congress

A key aspect of the projections in the High Shift scenario is growth in urban rapid transit systems—particularly rapid transit such as metro, tram/light-rail (LRT), commuter rail and bus rapid transit (BRT) systems. —Replogle and Fulton.

Drive Electric Submission Land Transport (Clean Car) Amendment Bill

Drive Electric

Drive Electric supports the Land Transport (Clean Vehicles) Amendment Bill (‘the Bill’) and encourages New Zealand to be ambitious. Given New Zealand’s reliance on personal light vehicles, accelerating the uptake of e-mobility is an essential part of reducing emissions from transport. Principle . per cent of sales.

Taking another look at methanol as an alternative transportation fuel for the US

Green Car Congress

A bridging option is to use methanol derived from natural gas, with a CO2 intensity that is no worse than conventional fuels. There is also the possibility of achieving greenhouse gas reduction by CO2 sequestration in the methanol generation process. option towards transition to renewable methanol for sustainable transportation.

Drive Electric Submission on the Emissions Reduction Plan Discussion Document

Drive Electric

Our submission and inputs relate specifically to accelerating the uptake of e-mobility, but we recognise that decarbonising transport is much wider than that. E-mobility is an important component to a zero emissions transport system, but is still just a component. . Transport . This will happen from 2030. There are 3.5
