CLEVER PROJECT KICKS OFF
The first of June 2024 marked the launch of the CLEVER (Creating Legitimate Emission Factors for Verified GHG Emission Reductions in Transport) project with its kick-off meeting held in Valencia. Eleven partners will take part in the three-year project, including the Smart Freight Centre which will provide technical guidance.
The project will seek to develop a cross-cutting methodology that leads to standardised emission factors that cover various transport modes, fuels (both new and conventional), and production methods. These factors will encompass the entire energy lifecycle, from production to end use, and will offer clearer guidelines for calculating and accounting GHG emissions across all modes of transport.
The CLEVER Framework will ensure consistency in calculating emissions for new energy sources, adapts to industry changes, and employs methods for accurate and quantifiable emissions, ensuring relevance for both policy and business purposes. It adopts a multi-stakeholder approach, involving global participants in the design, creation, and assessment process. Over the course of the project, numerous international experts be involved for emission factor development, certification and use will be established to ensure an active participation from international experts to create and share groundbreaking findings.
