Study concludes no one strategy sufficient for targeted GHG reduction from LDVs; positive combinatorial effects

Green Car Congress

To be able to balance instantaneously demand and supply, a fleet of power plants using different fuels is operating at any given time. Wind and solar resources are intermittent and require changes in the operations of the grid at appreciable generation fractions, they note. —Mashayekh et al. —Mashayekh et al.

Drive Electric Submission on the Emissions Reduction Plan Discussion Document

Drive Electric

Drive Electric has advocated for a comprehensive plan to decarbonise transport for the past two years. Our submission and inputs relate specifically to accelerating the uptake of e-mobility, but we recognise that decarbonising transport is much wider than that. The Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP) has the opportunity to be that plan.
