Effectiveness of CO2-based feebate systems in the European passenger vehicle market
Econometric analysis aiming to identify the extent to which the observed reductions in CO2 emissions rates in the Netherlands and the UK can be attributed to CO2-based vehicle taxation.
Investigation of Diesel Emissions in China
Report on a project to investigate emission factors of diesel vehicles in China, conducted by researchers at Tsinghua University with support by the ICCT.
On-road vehicle emissions remote sensing
Vehicle remote sensing involves scanning exhaust emissions using equipment positioned roadside. Potential aims include monitoring effectiveness of emission standards, cross-checking I/M programs, and identifying high emitters.
Evaluating air carrier fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions in the U.S. airline industry
Employs ratio-based, deterministic, and stochastic frontier approaches to assess the fuel efficiency of fifteen large jet operators in the United States.
Alternative octane enhancers for 10 ppm sulfur gasoline in China
Reports results of a study to characterize octane production in China, quantify the effects on fuel octane of proposed new limits on the use of manganese in fuels, identify alternatives, and quantify costs.

Barriers to adoption of fuel-efficiency technologies in the North American on-road freight sector
Analysis of market barriers to the widespread adoption of off-the-shelf efficiency technologies, including limited availability, lack of credible information about benefits, and uncertainty about the length of payback period.
Electric vehicle grid integration in the U.S., Europe, and China
Examines key drivers of EV adoption, with an emphasis on vehicle-charging scenarios and infrastructure and an eye toward identifying options that can maximize benefits from greater EV use to both consumers and the grid.
Analyzing the Transition to Electric Drive in California
Reports results of an exercise in modeling the transition to electric drive vehicles, including measuring the costs and benefits, quantifying the transition barriers and network external benefits, and estimating the effects of public policies on the transition process.
Effects of possible changes in crude oil slate on U.S. refining sector CO2 emissions
Analysis indicates that that the carbon intensity of the U.S. refining sector is sensitive to both the crude oils input to refineries and the product slate output.
