Thesis title
Low and zero emission transport fleets
Research overview
The majority of current transport decarbonization research targets LDVs in temperate climates and does not treat HDVs, upstream renewable energy supply chains, or socio-economic adoption barriers. Lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of synthetic fuels produced from green hydrogen and captured CO₂ are underrepresented. A region-based, integrated appraisal is needed to assess technically and socially viable decarbonization options for the entire vehicle fleet. The study will identify cost-effective, low-emission vehicle-fuel combinations and inform national policy with evidence-based insights into infrastructure needs and realistic transition strategies.
