1st Clean Energy Finance and Investment Consultation Workshop: “Unlocking finance and investment for clean energy in the Philippines” 31 May – 1 June 2022, Makati Diamond Residences, Legazpi Village, Makati City
Session 7b: Part II-Decarbonising freight- Alan McKinnonOECD Environment
This document discusses strategies for decarbonizing freight transport. It outlines several key levers for reducing emissions, including shifting freight to lower-carbon modes like rail; improving vehicle utilization; increasing energy efficiency through technologies, operations, and infrastructure; and reducing the carbon content of transport energy through electrification and alternative fuels. The roles of public policy, regulation, infrastructure development, and new technologies are examined. Significant challenges include developing sustainable battery supply chains and prioritizing electrification of commercial vehicles. Coordinated action across multiple areas will be needed to achieve deep decarbonization of the freight sector.
This report summarizes a review of efficiency and cost assumptions for road transport vehicles from 2010 to 2050 conducted for the Committee on Climate Change. The review developed datasets for fuel efficiency and capital costs for 9 vehicle categories and 13 powertrain technologies. It found that conventional powertrains have the greatest potential efficiency improvement but remain less efficient than electrified options. Capital costs of alternatives are expected to narrow substantially by 2030 and may be lower than diesel vehicles by 2030 when fuel costs are considered. The review assessed the validity of the CCC's assumption of no efficiency improvement without policy and found this assumption reasonable for cars but not for other vehicles which may see gradual annual efficiency gains.

"A machine learning approach for the estimation of fuel consumption related t...TRUSS ITN
Although vehicles emissions have a very significant impact on CO2 emissions, there remains a level of uncertainty concerning the methodological assumptions and parameters to consider in the calculation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions coming from the use phase of road pavements (Trupia et al 2016). In fact, recent studies highlighted how existing models can lead to very different results and that because of this, they are not fully ready to be implemented as standard in the life-cycle assessment (LCA) framework (Santero et al 2011; Trupia et al 2016).
This study presents an innovative approach, based on the application of Machine Learning to ‘Big Data’, for the calculation of the use phase emissions of road pavements due to truck fleet fuel consumption. The study shows that the Machine Learning regression technique is suitable to analyse the large quantities of data, coming from fleet and road asset management databases effectively, assessing and estimating the impact of rolling resistance-related parameters (pavement roughness and macrotexture measurements) on the use phase in road pavement LCA.

Unlocking Fuel Saving Technologies in Trucking and Fleets (Carbon War Room)_0Jeff Hamilton
This document discusses opportunities for reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the trucking and commercial vehicle sector through the adoption of proven efficiency technologies. It finds that if the Class 8 commercial vehicle fleet in the United States adopted just seven technologies, including improvements to aerodynamics, anti-idling devices, tires, transmissions, and routing, it could prevent the emission of 624 million tons of CO2 by 2022 while saving $26,400 per truck on average. Overcoming barriers like access to capital, split incentives between owners and operators, and lack of information will be important to drive widespread adoption of these economically beneficial technologies.
The document discusses establishing fuel economy standards and a 5-star labeling program for passenger vehicles in India. It provides context for such a program, including existing energy conservation policies and goals to reduce oil consumption and imports. International fuel labeling programs are reviewed. The significant impact of air conditioning usage on fuel consumption in India is analyzed due to hot weather. Regulations are needed to improve air conditioning efficiency and phase out refrigerants with high global warming potential.
This document provides details about the design and fabrication of an electric vehicle by a group of 5 mechanical engineering students at Manav Rachna International Institute of Research and Studies. It includes sections on the types of electric drivetrains, motivation for the project focusing on efficiency and reduced emissions, objectives of the project related to cost and environment, possible outcomes of promoting electric vehicle adoption in India, and a cost estimation report for building the electric vehicle. The students aim to build a prototype electric vehicle to study its mechanics and evaluate its feasibility as a more sustainable transportation option.
"A big data approach for investigating the performance of road infrastructure...TRUSS ITN
“Using truck sensors for road pavement performance investigation” is a research project within TRUSS, an innovative training network funded from the EU under the Horizon 2020 programme. The project aims at assessing the impact of the condition of the road pavement unevenness and macrotexture, on the fuel consumption of trucks to reduce uncertainty in the framework of life-cycle assessment of road pavements. In the past, several studies claimed that a road pavement in poor condition can affect the fuel consumption of road vehicles. However, these conclusions are based just on tests performed on a selection of road segments using a few vehicles and this may not be representative of real conditions. That leaves uncertainty in the topic and it does not allow road mangers to review the current road maintenance strategies that could otherwise help in reducing costs and greenhouse gas emissions from the road transport industry. The project investigated an alternative approach that considers large quantities of data from standard sensors installed on trucks combined with information in the database of road agencies that includes measurements of the conditions of the road network. In particular, using advanced regression techniques, a fuel consumption model that can take into consideration these effects has been developed. The paper presents a summary of the findings of the project, it highlights implications for road asset management and the road maintenance strategies and discusses advantages and limitations of the approach used, pointing out possible improvements and future work.

Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change.
How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security?
This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system.
OECD Policy Analyst Lylah Davies presented key findings and recommendations from recent OECD work on assessing the financial materiality of water-related risks, including the recently published paper “Watered down? Investigating the financial materiality of water-related risks” and was joined by experts to discuss relevant initiatives underway.

There is a tremendous amount of news being disseminated every day online about dangerous forever chemicals called PFAS. In this interview with a global PFAS testing expert, Geraint Williams of ALS, he and York Analytical President Michael Beckerich discuss the hot-button issues for the environmental engineering and consulting industry -- the wider range of PFAS contamination sites, new PFAS that are unregulated, and the compliance challenges ahead.
Widespread PFAS contamination requires stringent sampling and laboratory analyses by certified laboratories only -- whether it is for PFAS in soil, groundwater, wastewater or drinking water.
Contact us at York Analytical Laboratories for expert environmental testing with fast turnaround times and client service. We have 4 state-certified laboratories in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, and 4 client service centers.

(Q)SAR Assessment Framework: Guidance for Assessing (Q)SAR Models and Predict...hannahthabet
The webinar provided an overview of the new OECD (Q)SAR Assessment Framework for evaluating the scientific validity of (Q)SAR models, predictions, and results from multiple predictions. The QAF provides assessment elements for existing principles for evaluating models, as well as new principles for evaluating predictions and results. In addition to the principles, assessment elements, and guidance for evaluating each element, the QAF includes a checklist for reporting assessments.
This new Framework provides regulators with a consistent and transparent approach for reviewing the use of (Q)SAR predictions in a regulatory context and increases the confidence to accept alternative methods for evaluating chemical hazards. The OECD worked closely together with the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Italy) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), supported by a variety of international experts to develop a checklist of criteria and guidance for evaluating each criterion. The aim of the QAF is to help establish confidence in the use of (Q)SARs in evaluating chemical safety, and was designed to be applicable irrespective of the modelling technique used to build the model, the predicted endpoint, and the intended regulatory purpose.
The webinar provided an overview of the project and presented the main aspects of the framework for assessing models and results based on individual or multiple predictions.
The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.

Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.
