DeCicco: Transportation GHG reduction policy should focus upstream on fuel supply rather than downstream on choice of fuels in vehicles

John DeCicco at the University of Michigan argues that to reduce transportation sector greenhouse gas emissions, the proper policy focus should be upstream in sectors that provide the fuel, rather than downstream on the choice of fuels in the automobile. —“Factor Analysis of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Automobiles”.

For biofuels, because biogenic carbon is automatically credited within a product lifecycle, the boundary effectively excludes vehicle end-use CO 2 emissions. In a paper that could have a significant impact on climate policies for transportation fuels, Dr. John M. DeCicco 2013. Click to enlarge.

A limit was imposed on emissions from the power plants, and utilities were allowed to buy and sell permits to comply. These reductions in power plant emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) and nitrogen oxides (NO x ) were achieved at a significantly lower cost than originally assumed. greenhouse gas emissions.
