ICCT: California’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulation

Sales requirements for zero-emission heavy duty trucks. On June 25, 2020, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted the final rule for new standards that require the sale of zero-emission heavy-duty trucks (HDTs), starting with the 2024 model year. The Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) regulation, first of its kind in the world to require manufacturers to sell increasing percentages of zero-emission trucks, is expected to reduce the lifecycle emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and eliminate

ICCT: Fuel consumption from new passenger cars in India

Manufacturers’ performance in fiscal year 2019-20 New fuel consumption limits for passenger vehicles are scheduled to take effect in India in FY 2022–23, and this paper examines the performance of manufacturer groups with respect to new passenger vehicles sold in FY 2019–20.

ICCT: CO2 emissions from commercial aviation – 2013, 2018, and 2019

This report updates a working paper released last year, and details a global, transparent, and geographically allocated carbon dioxide (CO2) inventory for three years of commercial aviation. For the first time, we estimate absolute emissions and carbon intensity per passenger by both seating class and aircraft class. While results show that global passenger operations are becoming more fuel-efficient, this is not happening fast enough to offset traffic growth. Commercial traffic has increased nearly four times

CLASP: Global Opportunities to Advance Water Efficiency

CLASP assessed the viability of introducing water efficiency policies in the world’s top-18 carbon-emitting economies in the appliances sector, focusing specifically on policies for faucets and showerheads. CLASP ranked each country by the relative urgency and potential for impactful policies based on factors such as hot water consumption, pressure on water resources, and projected population increases. CLASP also assessed the viability of successfully implementing water efficiency policies, based on prerequisites such as existing water or

CLASP: Mepsy, an Appliance & Equipment Impact Calculator

In May 2021, CLASP introduced Mepsy, a new planning tool designed to help policymakers, researchers, and others assess the climate and energy impacts of appliance energy efficiency policy scenarios. Mepsy is designed to help practitioners compare and prioritize among appliance and equipment policy options. The free online tool displays the energy and climate impacts of appliance efficiency standards for key energy-using products, and supports national, regional, and global analysis. Explore the tool.

CLASP: 3H Hybrid Heat Homes

An Incentive Program to Electrify Space Heating and Reduce Energy Bills in US Homes Heat pumps are a critical technology on the path to net-zero emissions, but their deployment to date has been slow. This document proposes a low-barrier, least-cost policy package to rapidly deploy efficient space heating and cooling solutions in the United States. It aims to “raise the floor” for electric space heating in the residential HVAC market, delivering 45 million new installations
