Quantifying life cycle emissions can be tricky business, as our fuels program lead @Mittonius explains, but not impossible. Good choices when modeling can prevent the dilution of sustainability criteria and hold airlines accountable. 🛢️✈️🌽

Strongly recommend this fascinating report by InfluenceMap on the lobbying efforts to dilute sustainability criteria for sustainable aviation fuels and direct tax credits to existing, incumbent fuel producers.

The Fuel EU Maritime regulation introduces GHG intensity reduction requirements for the energy used on board by ships. These reduction requirements range from 2% in 2025 to 80% in 2050.

Recommended reading if you would like to know more about the bold steps that the EU is taking on climate with its trifecta of new & updated fuels policies, the Renewable Energy Directive (RED III), ReFuel EU Aviation, and Fuel EU Maritime. https://t.co/DlmVUqeGbc

The ReFuelEU aviation regulation provides EU-wide blending targets for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), rising from 2% in 2025 to 70% in 2050.

📢Over their lifetime, battery electric trucks produced in Europe today emit 63% less GHG emissions than their diesel counterparts.

This is one of the key findings of a 🆕 ICCT lifecycle analysis of trucks 🚚 and buses 🚌 .

Watch our video explainer and learn more 👇🧵

My colleague @JayantMukho and I did a deep dive on prospects for decarbonizing CA aviation, and some next steps for reducing aviation emissions via SAFs & Zero-Emission planes. https://t.co/j64nvX5UAr

The #InflationReductionAct gives a significant boost to producers of green hydrogen. But is it enough to create a #green #hydrogen economy?

A new ICCT blog explores the question 🤔💭

For renewable #LNG to make climate sense, #methane slip must be eliminated https://t.co/0nRw1pOBUZ #methaneslip #decarbonization #energytransition @TheICCT @TheICCT_Fuels #ShippingNews

Landmark study by @TheICCT_Fuels,@TheICCT provides sobering assessment of methane emissions for LNG-fuelled ships. Discredits narrative that switch to drop-in fuels like e-methane or bio-methane will reduce greenhouse gas contributions. Free to read https://t.co/IbZ6A64qLC

Careful when switching marine engines to LNG in hopes of a long-term transition from fossil LNG. Deploying renewable LNG to the marine sector may be expensive, supply-constrained and still emit significant quantities of methane.

Sept 21st, @TheICCT will host a webinar on the future of the CA Low-Carbon Fuel Standard, with @UCSUSA, @conniedotcho and @cleanaircatf joining us to talk strengthening CA fuel policies, improving equity and reduce reliance on risky biofuels . RSVP here: https://t.co/TWrWudCHEX

Is a National LCFS for the U.S. a good idea? It's not nearly as simple as it sounds. Find out about the opportunities and risks here https://t.co/CFIl48XXKO and our policy recommendations here https://t.co/X67h9AZNe3

With proposed new 🇪🇺 EU biofuels policies likely to spur more demand for imports of used cooking oil (UCO), NEW analysis estimates availability from 6 major UCO-exporting countries in Asia. Read about why a 1.7% cap on waste oils in new EU regs is prudent: https://t.co/hI2DYJgFFG

[The ICCT Clean Fuels @TheICCT_Fuels]

It's questionable whether the increasing UCO imports to the EU and US from Asian countries are real - our new in-depth study on Asian UCO supplies and trade shines new light on these doubts and raises the suspicion of fraud: https://t.co/jhQZKYDmdN
