Building on ITDP’s global expertise on parking policies, this report spotlights off-street parking as a costly and often overlooked area of urban planning that can impact vehicle use, how street space is prioritized, and even housing availability.
A new study from Agora Industry and the Wuppertal Institute finds it is technically feasible for the global steel sector to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by the early 2040s. This can be achieved through strategic investment in key technologies such as direct reduced iron (DRI), a coal phase-out in steel production and by establishing a green iron trade. The key levers to decarbonize the global steel sector are a higher material efficiency, a significant
The escalation of Russia’s war against Ukraine and the resulting fossil gas crisis put a spotlight on Europe’s high dependency on imports of cheap Russian pipeline gas. Against this background, this report from Agora Energiewende presents a structural transition pathway away from fossil gas use by 2050 based on detailed sectoral modeling of the energy, buildings, and industry sectors.
Low emission zones (LEZs) are a potentially impactful strategy for cities to reduce dependence on motor vehicles and offer clean, affordable, accessible alternatives. The Opportunity of Low Emission Zones report offers a closer look at LEZ strategies to provide context for decision-makers and planners interested in understanding the potential of these policies for their own cities.
Heat pumps, a critical technology for clean energy systems, are poised to become the most important technology for heating decarbonization. Currently, the vast majority of heat is provided by fossil fuels. In order to promote and encourage heat pump installations across the globe, the Regulatory Assistance Project, CLASP and the Global Buildings Performance Network have developed this heat pump policy toolkit, which provides a suite of tools, and advice on how to use them, for policymakers interested in
In order to decarbonize energy systems and eliminate exposure to fossil fuel imports, policy makers around the world have looked towards removing fossil fuels from heating as a worthy goal. Heat pumps remain the key technology to do just that. This report is cross-sector collaboration by Crux Policy Centers RAP, Agora Energiewende, CLASP and GBPN. Read the full report below:
