✈️ Planes burn fuel before they even take off, just taxiing to the runway. A new report assesses the environmental impact of two strategies to reduce on-ground emissions in California: single-engine taxi (SET) and gate-to-runway electric towing. Read more: theicct.org/publication/...

Shipping's biofuel demand could hit 40% of marine fuel by 2050. Without stronger land-use rules, that scale risks pushing agriculture into forests and driving up food prices. ⚓️ The window to get this right is narrowing. 🔗 theicct.org/publication/...

The ICCT had a great time last week at #ClimateWeekNYC 2026! 📸 Across several events, we had engaging, productive conversations with partners working to advance clean mobility. Thank you to the Crux Alliance and all our event partners, speakers, and participants for making it such a great week!

Today at #ClimateWeekNYC, ICCT’s Tim Dallmann joined the “Win-Win Policies: Unlocking Investment for a Sustainable Future" session. Thank you to ITDP, CLASP, Propel Clean Energy Partners, Crux Alliance, speakers and participants for a thoughtful and engaging conversation. 🤝

Washington's commercial fleet electrification may be hitting a tipping point. Cheap electricity + a new $112M voucher program (WAZIP) = electric trucks now beating diesel on 5-year cost in almost every weight class. 🔗 theicct.org/washingtons-...

🚛🚌 Truck and bus enthusiasts👇 Tomorrow, the ICCT will launch an annual report covering truck and bus sales across 34 countries, representing 80% of all commercial vehicle sales globally. It will be paired with an interactive dashboard with quarterly updates to explore market trends. Stay tuned!

🛳️✈️ Shipping & aviation are 2 of the hardest sectors to decarbonize, and CA's climate policies have room to address them. Our new report finds hydrogen-derived e-fuels (not liquid H2) can contribute — but it'll take new policy to get there. 🔗 theicct.org/publication/...

"EPA’s job under the Clean Air Act is to protect public health," says @margotoge.bsky.social in her latest @forbes.com op-ed. "The numerical NOx standard may stay on the books. But a standard without effective real-world compliance is just a number on paper." 🔗 www.forbes.com/sites/margoo...

ICCT welcomes Richard Bruce as the ICCT's next CEO, effective Sept. 28! He brings 20+ years of exemplary leadership in international transport decarbonization policy, most recently as Director of the UK's Office for Zero Emission Vehicles. Our global staff are looking forward to what's ahead! #ICCT

🇨🇦 Canada announced a 74 g/mile CO2 standard by 2035, anticipating to hit 75% EV uptake. ICCT research shows the two aren’t compatible; reaching 75% EV share would require a standard below 60 g/mile, or tighter if banked credits continue. Read more: theicct.org/does-canadas...

Battery electric trucks are increasingly proving their value beyond emission reductions. 🚚 🔋 ⚡ A recent real-world fleet analysis in the beverage industry found that electric trucks lowered TCO compared with diesel vehicles: theicct.org/publication/...

You may not know it, but your nearest electric vehicle charger may be just down the block! ⚡🏠 2/3 of Americans live with 2 miles of a charging station. 95% have one in their county. Fast charging is expanding rapidly. Range anxiety? Increasingly outdated. 🔗 theicct.org/ev-charging-...

In 2023, private jet emissions to and from Super Bowl LVII, the Masters Tournament, and the Monaco Grand Prix increased by an estimated 131%–808% at nearby airports, resulting in an additional 33,000 tonnes of CO2e. Read more in the new blog -> theicct.org/game-on-jets...

🚨NEW REPORT: Plug-in hybrids in Europe emit 5x more CO2 than officially reported. The gap between real-world and official CO2 emissions of cars is widening. And for plug-in hybrids, the gap is remarkably high: - 2021 plug-in hybrid vehicles: 265% - 2023 plug-in hybrid vehicles: 400%.
