T-1B1a-A-2 - Diesel LGV

Definition

This emission source is defined by the IPCC in TBD.

Sustainability Category: Red

This activity significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and undermines climate mitigation efforts. The activity should be phased out or fundamentally transformed, with financing directed toward decommissioning, replacement with sustainable alternatives, or radical decarbonization where elimination is not immediately feasible.

Transition Elements

This activity has the following mitigation options modelled as transition elements:

• T-1B1a-TE-1 - Shift to gas light trucks
• T-1B1a-TE-2 - Biofuel for diesel light trucks
• T-1B1a-TE-4 - Shift to hydrogen for light trucks
• T-1B1a-TE-5 - Ecodriving of light trucks
• T-1B1a-TE-6 - Shift to electric light trucks
• T-1B1a-TE-7 - Route optimisation for light trucks
• T-1B1a-TE-8 - Improved light truck engine technology
• T-1B1a-TE-9 - Improved load factor for light trucks
• T-1B1a-TE-10 - Shift to electric cargo bikes
