Flight plans, but greener: The ICCT and Google’s mission to refine the Travel Impact Model
As the Travel Impact Model continues to evolve, it holds promise to become the global standard in low-carbon travel search.
Zero-emission planes hit turbulence: What do recent delays mean for net-zero aviation by 2050?
Some recent setbacks on the road toin zero-emission aviation advancements highlight technology and infrastructure hurdles limiting the abilityand increase the importance of medium-term measures to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
Four changes would make the IMO Net-Zero Framework more effective
On April 11, the International Maritime Organization’s 83rd Marine Environment Protection Committee approved regulations under the IMO Net-Zero Framework. To make the framework effective, the IMO should address four key issues in its Life-Cycle Assessment Guidelines before full implementation in 2028. Otherwise, the framework risks promoting cheap-but-high-emitting fuels that could increase maritime GHG emissions.

Explores how much “lead” time is needed to implement vehicle efficiency standards in import markets.
What is the sound of no plane booming?
Explores Boom Supersonic’s claim of achieving “Boomless Cruise” and what it means for the future of supersonic flight.
Pioneering zero-emission off-road machinery: Inside Oslo’s Fornebu Line project
The Fornebu Line construction project in Oslo, Norway offers valuable insights for off-road construction decarbonization efforts around the world.
Supersonic aircraft: Twice as nice, or double the trouble?
Startups aiming to develop supersonic aircraft see a bright future, despite the high carbon intensity of their designs. But given evidence that supersonic aircraft will burn seven times more fuel per seat than subsonic aircraft, is there really room for supersonics in a net-zero future?
Introducing a new plume regression technique for point sampling to support cities in monitoring air quality
Details a new technique that simplifies point sampling and can offer cities valuable new information about how much different vehicles are contributing to ambient air pollution.
Clearing the air: Drivers are benefiting greatly from EV offerings
Consumers are increasingly benefiting from electric vehicles due to expanding model availability, lower ownership costs, and significant fuel savings compared to gasoline-powered vehicles.
Clearing the air: Emerging data and battery trends suggest EVs could bring lower fire risk
Emerging data shows that electric vehicles are no more prone to fires than conventional vehicles, and advancements in battery technology are expected to further reduce this risk.
Clearing the air: How EVs are poised to benefit the grid
Electric vehicles can help stabilize the grid and lower electricity costs through bidirectional charging, smart grid integration, and managed charging programs that reduce peak load stress.
Clearing the air: There are plenty of minerals for EVs, and they have far less environmental impact than fossil fuels
