Electricity crediting for depot charging: Assessing a cost advantage for Poland truck operators
Explores the economic impact that RED III charging credits could have on reducing the total cost of ownership of long-haul heavy-duty trucks operating in Poland.
SAF policy scorecard: Evaluating state-level sustainable aviation fuel policies in the United States
This paper compares key provisions in current and planned state SAF policies and assesses their strengths and weaknesses.
Availability of biomass feedstocks in the European Union to meet the 2035 ReFuelEU Aviation SAF target
This briefing provides an update to our 2021 analysis of EU feedstock availability for SAF.
Life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of U.S. sedans and SUVs with different powertrains and fuel sources
Building on a previous ICCT study, this work estimates that for sedans and SUVs in the United States, model year 2024 and projected model year 2030 battery electric vehicles have substantially lower life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions than internal combustion engine vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
Assessing the role of biomass-based diesel in U.S. rail decarbonization strategy
Although the DOE’s National Blueprint for Transport Decarbonization identifies liquid biofuels as a long-term decarbonization strategy for rail, long-haul trucks, aviation, and marine, the sustainable supply of biomass feedstocks is limited and might not be enough to meet projected demand across multiple transport modes.
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.
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.
Comparing the future demand for, supply of, and life-cycle emissions from bio, synthetic, and fossil LNG marine fuels in the European Union
Estimates demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel for ships trading with the European Union in 2030 and compares the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of using fossil or renewable LNG to consider renewable LNG’s potential to support climate goals.
