Cost-benefit assessment of the China VI emission standard for new heavy-duty vehicles
Assessment of the health benefits and technology costs of the China VI emission standard.
Beyond road vehicles: Survey of zero-emission technology options across the transport sector
Discusses the potential of zero-emission technologies to reduce emissions from non-road transport, including aviation, maritime, off-road, and rail.
Environmental performance of emerging supersonic transport aircraft
A preliminary assessment of the environmental performance of new commercial supersonic transport aircraft.
Costs of emission reduction technologies for diesel engines used in non-road vehicles and equipment
Evaluates the costs incurred by manufacturers of diesel engines used in non-road vehicles and equipment for emission reduction technologies needed to comply with increasingly stringent standards.
Fuel efficiency technology potential of HDVs between 3.5 and 12 tonnes in India
India has a substantial opportunity to improve HDV fuel efficiency levels. Per-vehicle fuel consumption reductions between roughly 20% and 35% are possible with technologies that are expected to be available in India over the next 10 years.
Compatibility of mid-level biodiesel blends in vehicles in Indonesia
Reviews the impact of mid-level biodiesel blends on materials and emissions in conventional diesel vehicles in the Indonesian context.
Automobile production in Canada and implications for Canada’s 2025 passenger vehicle greenhouse gas standards
Analyzes the Canadian vehicle manufacturing market and sales patterns to illuminate the possible impacts if Canada weakens its greenhouse gas emission standards in order to align with the U.S. federal government or maintains its existing standards and aligns with California and, most likely, 13 other U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
Automation in the long haul: Challenges and opportunities of autonomous heavy-duty trucking in the United States
An analysis of the state of autonomous trucking technology, including the benefits and drawbacks of adoption, and the impact on fuel use and emissions in the on-road freight sector.
Policy and Environmental Implications of Using HEFA+ for Aviation
Ramping up HEFA+ deployment in aviation would likely create competition for feedstocks between aviation and renewable diesel in the road sector. It could also result in indirect land-use change from the increased use of food crops to create renewable diesel and HEFA+, thereby undermining the climate benefits of AJF deployment.
Using a Contracts for Difference Program to Support Dairy Biogas in California
Evaluates the costs and benefits of using contracts for difference (CfDs) to support the production of bio-CNG from dairy farms in California.
