Feasibility study of future energy options for Great Lakes shipping
Evaluates future energy options for Great Lakes shipping, analyzing alternative fuels and technologies against environmental regulations, costs, and emissions, aiming to guide the industry towards decarbonization by 2050.
Evaluating the potential role of a National Low-Carbon Fuel Standard to support sustainable aviation fuels
Investigates the integration of aviation fuels into a national low-carbon fuel standard (LCFS) policy, highlighting the potential for LCFS policies to promote sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with policy design choices playing a crucial role in shaping their effectiveness.
Meeting the SAF Grand Challenge: Current and future measures to increase U.S. sustainable aviation fuel production capacity
Assesses the feasibility of meeting the administration’s SAF Grand Challenge based on resource availability, production costs, technology readiness level, and policy support.
Assessing the risks of crediting alternative fuels in Europe’s CO2 standards for trucks and buses
Assesses proposed mechanisms to credit alternative fuels in Europe’s CO2 standards for trucks and buses and identifies potential climate risks that would dilute the emission reduction benefits of the European Commission’s proposal.
Risks of crediting alternative fuels in Europe’s CO2 standards for trucks and buses
This fact sheet assesses proposed mechanisms to credit alternative fuels in Europe’s CO2 standards for trucks and buses and identifies potential climate risks that would dilute the emission reduction benefits of the European Commission’s proposal.
Drawbacks of adopting a “similar” LCA methodology for U.S. sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
Highlights key differences in the life-cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies used to estimate the greenhouse gas emissions from sustainable aviation fuel.
2030 California renewable natural gas outlook: Resource assessment, market opportunities, and environmental performance
Estimates the possible production volume of cost-viable RNG and considers the impact of changes to California methane regulations on its LCFS credit value
Key issues in LCA methodology for marine fuels
Highlights the impact of key considerations and methodological decisions when doing a life-cycle analysis (LCA) of transport fuels and demonstrates how these can impact the greenhouse gas emissions attributable to different alternative fuels.
A comparison of the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of European heavy-duty vehicles and fuels
Evaluates the lifetime emissions, including from manufacturing and use, of different truck and bus powertrains
A life-cycle comparison of the greenhouse gas emissions from combustion, electric, and hydrogen trucks and buses in Europe
Summarizes findings of study on the lifecycle emissions of heavy-duty vehicles
