T-1B1b-A-2 - Diesel HGV

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-1B1b-TE-1 - Shift to gas heavy trucks
• T-1B1b-TE-2 - Biofuel for diesel heavy trucks
• T-1B1b-TE-4 - Shift to hydrogen for heavy trucks
• T-1B1b-TE-5 - Ecodriving of heavy trucks
• T-1B1b-TE-6 - Shift to electric heavy trucks
• T-1B1b-TE-7 - Improved heavy truck engine technology
• T-1B1b-TE-8 - Improved load factor for heavy trucks
• T-1B1b-TE-9 - Shift from heavy truck to sea
• T-1B1b-TE-10 - Shift from heavy truck to electric railway
