In cooperation with the TU PIK scientists investigate the potential that an upstream cap and trade mechanism for transport fuels with potentially sectoral and regional linking offers for the decarbonisation of road transport.

Emphasis shall be on the potential to provide an international level playing field that is economically efficient in achieving environmental targets, while accounting for social considerations, political feasibility and robustness of the instrument(s). Specifically, a consistent regulatory or market-based approach on greenhouse gas emissions enables fair competition between technologies but also between car manufacturers currently facing varying regulations.
