PROJECT OVERVIEW
Objectives

• To assess recent and ongoing developments in
  alternatives fuels and internal combustion
  engines
• To analyse and assess related needs in the energy
  supply chains feasibility of the upstream
  requirements for the implementation of new
  technologies
• To analyse national policy on transport and
  energy underlying scenarios in policy
  statements, compliance with European guidelines,
  long term targets and impact assessment on the
  adoption of new technologies
• Analyse case studies and projects of
  implementation of new technologies in surface
  transport reasons for success / failure.
  Briefly assess their economic impacts in a
  Cost-Benefit perspective
• Overview the ongoing efforts in these fields in
  other regions of the world (e.g. US, Asia)

TASK DESCRIPTION

• TASK 1.1 STATE OF THE ART ON TECHNOLOGICAL
  DEVELOPMENTS AND RELATED ENERGY SUPLY ISSUES
• Sub-Task 1.1.1 - Recent developments on current
  fossil fuel internal combustion technology
  (TIS.PT)
• This task aims at reviewing the current
  development status of most recent technologies,
  its potential impacts on fuel efficiency and
  environment and barriers to their application.
  The work will include
• A review technological advances during the last
  years
• Overview of technologies aiming to increase fuel
  efficiency and environmental friendliness of the
  internal combustion engine
• Improvements in emission levels and efficiency
• Assess current situation and prospects for usage
  of alternative fuels.

Although most recent developments do not
introduce a fundamental change in the
conventional character of combustion engines,
most have, however, the advantage of being
suitable for prompt implementation, at relatively
low cost and with immediate impact on emission
levels

TASK DESCRIPTION

• Sub-Task 1.1.2. - Application of innovative
  technologies in transport (TIS.PT)
• Technologies with specific application in
  Transports will be studied, such as electric
  propulsion technology, hybrid vehicles, fuel cell
  technology among other.
• The current development status of these
  technologies, their potential impacts on fuel
  efficiency and the environment and barriers to
  its applications
• The advantages and the less positive aspects will
  be detailed, from a well-to-wheel perspective

• Sub-Task 1.1.3. - Energy Supply Issues (TIS.PT)
• The aim of this task is to provide the project
  with an assessment of the main infrastructure
  requirements to those alternatives technologies
  that seem more likely to succeed in the near
  future.
• Also to identify possible policy actions
  required.

TASK DESCRIPTION
TASK 1.2 - ANALYSES OF POLICIES ON TRANSPORT AND
ENERGY
Identify European guidelines and policy
frameworks and, given the previous sub-tasks, to
assess the coherence of national policies with
European ones

• The role and orientation of MS policy making
• Measures to change the relative prices of
  technologies
• making transport users pay the full cost of
  their actions
• subsidising the new technologies.
• Measures in support of cleaner and fuel-efficient
  technologies
• Analyse the overall framework under which
  national governments act in terms of energy
  policy
• fuel dependency, environmental impacts, pricing
  policy, fuel fiscal policy, market organisation
  and regulation, etc.

TASK DESCRIPTION
TASK 1.2 - ANALYSES OF POLICIES ON TRANSPORT AND
ENERGY
In particular

• REGULATORY MEASURES (emission limits, speed
  limits, access limits etc.)
• PRICING MEASURES (taxation, road pricing etc.)
• INVESTMENT MEASURES (public transport, cycling,
  walking etc.)
• LAND USE MEASURES (development restrictions,
  mixed-use development etc.)

TASK DESCRIPTION
TASK 1.2 - ANALYSES OF POLICIES ON TRANSPORT AND
ENERGY

• In the particular case of the Accession
  Countries, this analysis should allow identifying
  the gap between current national policies and
  European guidelines
• It will further aim at assessing the extent of
  the impacts of changes and how they affected
  energy policies in those countries (A.C,)
  accounting for consequences in the respective
  transport policies.
• For Baltic and Central and Eastern European
  countries, the Energy Policies have certainly
  sustained major changes with the transformation
  of their respective economic systems from central
  planning to market-based systems the
  establishment of market-based economic systems
  and its relation to diversification of energy
  sources will therefore deserve some focus
• Understanding the impacts of these changes on the
  decrease of energy dependency on one single
  source and the integration in to the energy
  market
• Which incentives are in place and what kind of
  fiscal policy is being followed and the influence
  of Energy concerns when setting those policies

TASK DESCRIPTION
TASK 1.3 - CASE STUDIES ON IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW
TECHNOLOGIES

• Identify and describe relevant case studies of
  practical application of the policies analysed in
  previous task.
• To identify factors for the success / failure and
  the main obstacles to attain the goal ex-ante for
  that specific project.
• Identify political, cultural and technological
  barriers (including Hazard Risks)
• Influence of conditioning Infrastructure
  situations
• The role of policy making in procurement
  processes
• Address the ability of the industry to readily
  provide suitable information to the market
• Problems in monitoring initiatives and results
• Public Acceptability Issues / Initiatives to
  Raise Awareness / Impact Assessm.
• Studies of the future applications of new
  technologies.

TASK DESCRIPTION
TASK 1.4 - BRIEF OVERVIEW OF CURRENT SITUATION IN
US AND ASIA (PARTNER RESPONSIBLE TIS) The
United States leads some initiatives
technological innovation and, sometimes, can be
an example to innovative attitudes and
legislation. The case of Californian
Zero-emission target is one of them... Asia
and emerging markets need to anticipate trends of
strong growth in transport needs GDP gt
Transport, Emissions

• To provide an overview of technological
  development in innovative alternative fuels and
  official policy on implementation, facilitation
  and regulation of those technologies from the US
  and Asia.
• It aims to serve as a general comparison to
  assess current European state of development in
  this area vis-à-vis U.S. and Asia .
