Description
The JRC's Energy Storage Unit is organising a one-day online workshop on the decarbonisation of heavy goods vehicle transport.
If our society is to undergo full decarbonisation by 2050 then this must also be achieved by the transport sector. In this regard, road freight is deemed to be particularly difficult. Technologies that could lead to full decarbonisation on the road are: Hydrogen fuel cells, Batteries and Caternary/Pantograph.
The purpose of the event will be to consider which of the options has the highest potential of environmental benefit, identify challenges (and solutions) for these technologies and consider the infrastructure developments that will be needed in each case. The emphasis of the presentations will be on Technical Readiness and cover the most recent Life Cycle Assessment / Well-to-Wheel studies of each of the options. Furthermore, the relative costs of each technology option and the associated infrastructure requirements will be considered.
The workshop will consist of four sessions:
- Session 1: Policy Context - This session will contain an initial overview regarding the background and motivation for the workshop and the assumptions made for the purpose of discussion. The European Commission's departments for Mobility and Transport and for Climate Actionwill also provide presentations to frame the workshop in terms of European Commission policies.
- Session 2: Technology options - This session will consider the technology options for full decarbonisation of the vehicles under consideration and the infrastructure required to operate them.
- Session 3: Comparison by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) / Well-to-wheel studies - For each of the technology solutions LCA and techno-economic studies comparing that option to the incumbent State of the Art and other liquid fuel options will be given. Where possible, studies that compare multiple options are prioritised.
- Session 4: Panel Discussion - The panel session will review the technological readiness of the potential solutions, their feasibility, practicality and the cost of implementing the required infrastructure. Furthermore, it will review the LCA/sustainability studies of the different options, their potential for reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impact factors.
