E-fuels versus DACCS
Total costs of electro-fuels and direct air captureand carbon storage while taking into account directandupstream emissions and environmental risks
Study on behalf of Transport & Environment (T&E)
For defossilizing European aviation,synthetic fuels or electro fuels (e-fuels) might play a pivotal role in the longterm.The UK’s Committee on Climate Change, however, suggests that…
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…
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…
EU Environment and Climate Change Policies
State of play, current and future challenges
This study reviews the state of play of on environmental and climate legislation in the EU and pinpoints key challenges for the next five years. Part 1 of this study summarizes the status of EU legislation, major EU targets and…
Not to be taken for granted: climate protection and sustainability through PtX
Discussion of requirements for and first approaches to developing verification criteria for a climate-friendly and sustainable production of PtX
Impulse paper on behalf of BUNDas part of the Copernicus project "P2X“
Synthetic fuels – How can they support climate protection efficiently?
Requirements and needs for regulation supporting a sustainable use of synthetic fuels
Presentation by Peter Kasten and Christof Timpe, „Fuels of the Future“ conference. Berlin, 21 January 2019
The changeover from the NEDC to the WLTP and its impact on the effectiveness and the post-2020 update of the CO2 emission standards
The CO2 emission regulation based on the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) has successfully decreased emissions in chassis dynamometer measurements during type approval procedures. However, CO2 emissions in operation on the road have…
Improving the accounting of renewable electricity in transport within the new EU Renewable Energy Directive
Policy paper for Transport & Environment
This policy paper assesses whether the proposed accounting rules for electricity consumed in the transport sector in the draft new EU Renewable Energy Directive are consistent and whether they create appropriate incentives for the…
Study on Technical Assistance in Realisation of the 2016 Report on Renewable Energy, in preparation of the Renewable Energy Package for the Period 2020 -2030 in the European Union ("RES-Study")
ENER/C1/2014 -688
The objective of this study is to provide technical assistance in the preparation of the 2016 Report on Renewable Energy, in preparation of the Renewable Energy Package for the period 2020-2030 in the European Union. Key findings are:

Assessing the status of electrification of the road transport passenger vehicles and potential future implications for the environment and European energy system
Specific Contract under Framework Contract EEA/ACC/13/003 - LOT-1 - Final Report: Task 2
Electric vehicles charged with low-emission electricity are one of the key options to reduce emissions in passenger road transport. However, the introduction of electric vehicles will inevitably lead to greater interaction between the…
Policy mix in the transport sector: What role can the EU ETS play for road transport?
This discussion paper focuses on the incorporation of road transport in the EU ETS. Alongside consideration of the effect that its inclusion would have within the transport sector, the effects on other sectors will also be discussed,…
DEFINE: Development of an Evaluation Framework for the Introduction of Electromobility
Two electromobility scenarios for Germany: Market development and their impact on CO2 emissions of passenger cars in DEFINE
In this report two scenarios are developed to compare the impact of different electric vehicle market developments and to better understand the impact of policy measures for electromobility market support. Three policy measures that…
Joint DEFINE Policy Brief by Oeko-Institut and DIW Berlin
In the context of the project DEFINE, Oeko-Institut and DIW Berlin jointly analyzed possible future interactions of the introduction of electromobility with the German power system. We were particularly interested in the impacts of…
Electromobility: a trigger for market success of carsharing?
Online conference - Our Future Mobility Now, 27 February 2012
Are electric vehicles the mode of the future? Potentials and environmental impacts
Background paper on electric mobility
Yet many questions concerning the environmental and climate benefits of electric mobility remain to be clarified, as do issues of market potentials and user acceptance. The Oeko-Institut has conducted research into these and other…
