GHG-TransPoRD

Reducing greenhouse-gas emissions of transport beyond 2020

The main objective of GHG-TransPoRD project is to support the EU in defining a feasible policy strategy for GHG reductions of transport that fits and contributes to the overall GHG reduction targets of the EU. Such a policy strategy would propose GHG reduction targets for transport as a whole as well as for each transport mode.

In doing so, the GHG-TransPoRD project aims to contribute to the development of a research strategy for the EU to reduce the GHG emissions of the different transport modes (road, rail, air and shipping) linking this research strategy with the available policy measures. Thus the project supports the FP7 objective to develop integrated, "greener" and smarter transport systems.  

TML will be involved in the identification of (technology and other) measures and assessment of the potential impact using TREMOVE.
