Transport decarbonisation in the EU and Member States: best practices and the future of zero-emissions transport
This conference will discuss transport decarbonisation in the context of Spain, Italy, Portugal and France the Eastern and Central European EU Member States, with a focus on the 2030 and long-term decarbonisation targets. We aim at discussing challenges, exchanging good practices, having an outlook to the future of transport decarbonisation and enhancing collaboration among stakeholders from like-minded countries.

Batteries on wheels: the role of battery electric cars in the EU power system and beyond
Batteries are the key technology enabling the decarbonisation of transport, and the value of the materials within them has resulted in the development of policies and regulations around battery reuse and recycling, with the European Commission looking to review its Battery Directive in 2020.
High risk biofuels in the new RED II
The EU Renewable Energy Directive has been approved by the European Parliament and the Council and officially published. But one major piece of the biofuels’ puzzle - a delegated act on high and low ILUC biofuels - is still expected to be published by the Commission on 1st February 2019.

How to decarbonise transport: Transport & Environment’s 2050 vision
After the publication of the IPCC 1.5ºC report, it is clearer than ever that transport needs to decarbonise. That includes surface transport, but also aviation and shipping.
Grids, renewables and e-mobility: how to get the maximum out of the three
Electromobility is the most promising future technology to decarbonize road transport. Grid management is critical to electric vehicle adoption. Smart charging is key to minimize the amount of investments needed in the grid. Large scale deployment of EVs represents an opportunity to store large amounts of renewable electricity in batteries, reducing curtailment. EVs can even work as virtual power stations.
Bringing down CO2 emissions on the road: Is WLTP enough?
The introduction of the new Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) is expected to lead to more representative emission measurements than the old NEDC test cycle. However, there will still be a gap between real world emissions and the values measured in the laboratory.
Future car CO2 standards: Question time
Future CO2 standards for cars and vans will set important milestones for the future of the EU's car industry, define the speed of transition to e-mobility and determine the climate efforts Member States will make in reducing transport emissions.
