Media release for Zemo Partnership Summit 2024

Zemo Partnership today publishes guidance for the new Government on delivering a greener future.

Zemo Partnership today announces the full membership of the new independent Council for Net Zero Transport chaired by Lord Deben, former Chair of the Climate Change Committee. 

With targets and regulations for tailpipe GHG and polluting emissions in place, greater attention now needs to be paid to other sources of emissions, such as those from ancillary engines which are used for purposes other than vehicle propulsion.

A new Council for Net Zero Transport, convened by Zemo Partnership, comprising senior stakeholders will help steer UK transport’s decarbonisation transition as it moves into the crucial delivery phase.

Study models vehicle life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across a range of vehicles, powertrains and fuel/energy pathways to inform future policy direction 

Following a strategic review to coincide with Zemo’s 20th anniversary, the Partnership is announcing the creation of a new Zero Emission Mobility Taskforce which aims to become a leading authority on the policies and pathways needed to achieve a successful transition to net zero road transport in the UK.

While the drive to electrify road transport may take most of the headlines, there are other clear options for operators of large, harder (and more expensive)-to-electrify heavy duty vehicles to cut their greenhouse gas emissions.

Zemo Partnership’s 20th Anniversary Conference and celebration reception takes place on Thursday June 15 - Clean Air Day 2023 - at City Hall, London.

Proposals for a UK renewable diesel incentive - Zemo Partnership study

Read Zemo Partnership CEO Andy Eastlake's response to the Government announcement of over £200m funding to bring the "world’s largest fleet of zero emission HGVs" to UK roads.

Taskforce identifies five key conditions to hit the ‘sweet spot’ that meets consumer needs, drives uptake of electric vehicles and provides the right chargepoints in the right places

Zemo Partnership’s Renewable Fuels Assurance Scheme (RFAS) for higher blend renewable fuels launched last year is going from strength-to-strength with 14 fuel suppliers now fully approved under the scheme.

The PLV (powered two, three and light four-wheeled vehicles) launches its ‘Action Plan’ for Government and industry to help realise its full potential in decarbonising the UK’s transport sector.

With road transport’s electric revolution gathering pace, the groundbreaking, Government-backed Electric Vehicle (EV) Energy Taskforce has published four new reports covering key elements of the electric transition in road transport, defining the conditions required to enable the UK to capture the benefits from the integration of our transport and energy systems.

A new study from transport decarbonisation specialists, Zemo Partnership, uses life-cycle analysis (LCA) to compare the greenhouse gas emissions performance of powered light vehicles (PLV), including powered two wheelers (PTW), with larger vehicles which have traditionally been used for a range of operational and leisure purposes, focusing mainly on urban areas.

As London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone expands from Monday, Zemo Partnership says that one way for operators of larger vehicles to meet the challenge is to adopt approved vehicle retrofit solutions for cutting polluting emissions.

A new study by Zemo Partnership recommends that Government policy should increase its focus on the well-to-wheel (WTW) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and overall energy efficiency performance of new fuels for transport.

New research recently published by Zemo Partnership, shows that diesel-powered auxiliary transport refrigeration units (auxTRUs) used in the cold chain distribution system make a significant contribution to transport-related greenhouse gas emissions and have an even greater impact on polluting emissions of NOx and particles which have directly damaging health effects.

A new study and Well-to-Tank (WTT) model by Element Energy, commissioned by Zemo Partnership, identifies a range of pathways for the production, distribution and dispensing of low carbon hydrogen to transport end-users.
