Overview
2PROJECT 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)

Partners Involved
4TASK 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
5TASK 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.
6TASK 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.
7TASK 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.)
8TASK 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

10TASK 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.

12TASK 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 .

- The purpose of this meeting is dual.
- To discuss experiences and problems faced by each
partner while performing the first part (Task
1.2), under the Topic ANALYSIS OF POLICIES ON
TRANSPORT AND ENERGY, per geographical scope.
Solutions and mitigation actions for possible
