Integration of maritime transport in the EU Emissions Trading System
Maritime transport contributes 2-3% to global greenhouse gas emissions. It is, nevertheless, the only sector which is not yet subject to greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets and policies in the European Union (EU). It is imperative…
Ammonia as a marine fuel
Risks and perspectives
The decarbonization of the shipping sectorultimatelyrequiresthe switch to alternative post-fossil fuels. Ammonia has recently received increasing attention as a potential marine fuelthat could drive thisdecarbonization.In the context of…
Resource consumption of the passenger vehicle sector in Germany until 2035 – the impact of different drive systems
Study on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety
The annual crude oil demand for passenger cars in Germany can be reduced by 56 percent by 2035 compared to 2020 if the share of electric passenger cars in German registrations rises to 100 percent until then. These savings significantly…
Options for regulating the climate impacts of aviation
Aviation is the most environmentally-damaging mode of transport and contributes substantially to global warming. At the same time, aviation enjoys numerous privileges compared to other modes of transport. Kerosene is exempt from the…

State of Play and Roadmap Concept: Mobility Sector
RE-SOURCING Deliverable 4.2
Meeting the Paris Agreement’s goals requires transformation in the mobility sector. Battery electric vehicle technology today offers a promising technology to achieve the necessary changes and transform the sector. Yet this…
Key Messages on Electric Roads
Executive Summary from the CollERS Project
Electric road systems (ERS) enable electric power transfer to moving vehicles by means of overhead lines, rails or wireless technology. ERS constitutes a new type of technological system (“permanent pick-up”) that is a paradigm shift…
Connecting Countries by Electric Roads
Methodology for Feasibility Analysis of a Transnational ERS Corridor
The present study aims at discussing relevant aspects for a potential roll-out of Electric Road Systems (ERS) on transnational corridors, as well as generally for ERS introduction in Europe.
Feasibility criteria have thus been developed…
Bottom-Up Strategies for Shared Mobility and Practices in Urban Housing to Improve Sustainable Planning
Recent years have seen the development of numerous innovations in social, constructional, and transportation planning for different forms of communal housing. They illustrate how more sustainable practices in transport and land use can…
Options for multilateral initiatives to close the global 2030 climate ambition and action gap - Policy field synthetic e-fuels
Achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement requires increased global climate action, especially towards the production and use of synthetic e-fuels. This paper focuses on aviation and maritime transport and the role of green hydrogen for…
Real-world experiences of ERS
Best practices from demonstration projects in Sweden and Germany
The purpose of this report is to report best practices from
- demonstrations of ERS technologies along public roads in Sweden, and
- procurement and the start of ERS demonstration projects in Germany.
Readers in need of a state-of-the-art…
Plug-in hybrid electric cars: Market development, technical analysis and CO₂ emission scenarios for Germany
Study on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety
This study examines the deviation of real-world CO₂ emissions of plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) from type-approval values, the driving factors of these deviations, and implications for achieving the German climate protection targets for…
Environmental and socio-economic challenges in battery supply chains: graphite and lithium
Short study prepared within the framework of the BMBF joint project Fab4Lib
The European Commission set a clear goal with the Green Deal to establish a transition towards a greener economy with the transport sector being one of the main pillars. A key ingredient are lithiumion batteries required for the uptake…
National and EU freight transport strategies
Status quo and perspectives and implications for the introduction of electric road systems (ERS)
National and international freight transport in Europe is significantly influenced by both, national and the European Union (EU) strategies and regulations. The successful market launch of Electric Road Systems (ERS) can only succeed…
Decarbonization of on-road freight transport and the role of LNG from a German perspective
The use of trucks running on liquefied natural gas (LNG) instead of diesel is not a suitable measure for climate protection in road freight transport. Even in an optimistic scenario, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions of less than…
