CO2 emissions of vehicles: a broad and persistent problem

The 10th webinar of the Odyssee-Mure on Energy Efficiency Academy.

The transport sector has not seen the same decline in greenhouse gas emissions as many other sectors. CO2 emissions from passenger cars and trucks form a persistent problem and policymakers struggle to find effective solutions to meet the goals.

First, there is this ongoing race to the bottom among declared CO2 values with a growing gap with the emissions in real-world use. Second, manufacturers are only responsible for the performance of their cars under idealized circumstances, as measured during vehicle emission tests. Third, the economic and life-style aspects of owning and driving heavy and expensive cars are forces in the opposite direction. And last, the European Union has only limited systems in place for the monitoring and verification of the CO2 emissions of vehicles.

In this webinar, Norbert Ligterink (PhD), senior research scientist at TNO, will guide us to understanding the complexity behind this broad and persistent problem.

The webinar is an approximately 45 min presentation, followed by a live Q&A session with the speaker.
