Abstract:
Funded by the European Union Horizon Europe research and innovation program and led by a collaborative effort of esteemed organizations, the CLEVER project aims to tackle obstacles in calculating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transport sector. It is planned to achieve this by developing new standardized emission factors that cover various modes of transport, fuels (both new and conventional), and production methods. These factors will encompass the entire energy lifecycle, from production to end use, and will offer transparent and comprehensible guidelines for calculating and accounting GHG emissions across all modes of transport. The CLEVER framework will ensure consistency in calculating emissions for existing and new energy sources, adapt to industry changes, and employ methods for accurate and quantifiable emissions, ensuring relevance for both policy and business purposes. It adopts a multi-stakeholder approach, involving global participants in the design, creation, and assessment process.
