We’re going to need a greener boat: The untapped potential of electric ferry transport
Coastal ferries are well-positioned to become electrified and to provide a cleaner option for summer coastal travel, analyses from China and the United States suggest.
A step forward for “green” methanol and its potential to deliver deep GHG reductions in maritime shipping
“Green” methanol can provide deep greenhouse gas reductions, but not all methanol is climate friendly, and marine policies should incorporate full life-cycle accounting of emissions.
A new climate of aircraft safety
Flying is exceptionally safe for passengers, but its record would likely be cloudier if the climate impacts of aircraft were factored in, and if the safety of all were considered.
India, don’t fall for ethanol: Roadmap leads National Policy on Biofuels off track
India’s new ethanol roadmap abandons the country’s commitment to second-generation biofuels and is environmentally and economically unsustainable.
Global overview of government targets for phasing out internal combustion engine medium and heavy trucks
With governments beginning to commit to phasing out internal combustion engine medium and heavy trucks, manufacturers are getting an important signal about where policy is headed.
What to know about the potential of hybrid technology in two-wheelers in India?
There are many opportunities for fuel consumption reduction from India’s two-wheelers, and hybrids are an incremental technology pathway during the expected transition to electric.
The Deadliest Catch: Scrubber washwater discharge in ASEAN fishing grounds
Scrubbers, a newly popular technology that greatly reduces pollution from ship exhaust, have a serious downside: the pollutants they capture are typically disposed of in ocean waters. In essence, they convert air pollution to water pollution. This blog examines the impact of “washwater” discharged by ships in southeast Asia, a region rich in fishing grounds, and makes recommendations for reforming the practice.
Summing up: What’s the potential for India to set a sectoral target for road transport CO2 emissions in its NDC?
India could strengthen its NDC by adding a sectoral target for road transport CO2 emissions, and there is big potential in aggressive policy.
COVID-19’s impact on India’s road transport business-as-usual emissions trajectory
A look at two very different post-COVID futures for India’s road transport emissions.
FAME-II revisions spark hopes for a jump in electric two-wheeler sales in India
New revisions to India’s FAME-II incentives for electric two-wheelers accelerate the time until upfront price parity with conventional models and improve upon an already attractive total cost of ownership proposition.
