Access to restricted areas (Diesel vehicles) in Tokyo
Since 2003, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) has been regulating exhaust gas from diesel vehicles. Diesel vehicles subject to the regulation include large vehicles, such as trucks and buses, except passenger vehicles. The diesel vehicles that do not meet the particulate matter (PM) emission standards stipulated by the ordinances are not allowed to drive in the Metropolitan area. These diesel vehicles must be replaced with low-emission vehicles or equipped with PM reduction devices in order to satisfy the regulation.

The energy crisis creates even stronger impetus for EU electrification
draft title Electrification is central to meeting the European Union’s goals on energy security, competitiveness, affordability, and emissions reductions. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has highlighted the risks of over-dependence on imported fuels and concentrated supply routes, making the case for electrification even stronger.In the EU, around 70% of electricity generation is already supplied from domestic, low-emissions sources. And yet end-users (industry, buildings and transport sectors), source less than one quarter of their energy consumption from electricity. Today, around two-thirds of end-use energy consumption relies on fossil fuels, of which the…

Luxembourg
Luxembourg has a fossil fuel intensive energy mix driven by a high demand for transportation fuels, notably from transiting freight trucks and commuters. Despite this demand, the country is committed to reducing emissions. Its climate law sets targets for a 55% emission reduction by 2030 and climate neutrality target by 2050. The government has adopted numerous measures to push for energy transition, including a carbon tax which was introduced in 2020 and encouraging renewable generation through subsidies and auctions. Several programmes also support energy efficiency in buildings, industry and transportation, with a target for 49% of all passenger cars to…

What Next for the Global Car Industry
An Energy Technology Perspectives Special Report The global car industry has operated under relatively stable conditions for decades. The world’s largest car manufacturers are based in the European Union, Korea, Japan and the United States, and – more recently – in China, and the car industry is a major contributor to the economy in these countries. The strength of many of these car makers is built on decades at the forefront of technological innovation around the internal combustion engine (ICE), as well as highly integrated and optimised supply chains that allow for vehicles and their components to be produced at low…

Renewables for Industry
Electrification of low-temperature heat and steam Industry is responsible for 30% of global energy consumption, most of which is supplied by fossil fuels. The focus of industrial decarbonisation has largely been on the steel and cement sectors, but significant potential also exists in less energy-intensive sectors such as food and beverages, textiles, chemicals, paper, and other manufacturing activities. These sectors offer some of the most immediate and cost-effective opportunities for industrial decarbonisation and diversification of energy sources. Commercially available electric technologies – including heat pumps, electric boilers and resistance heaters – can meet most heat demand in these subsectors…

Greenhouse gas reduction mandate for gasoline and diesel
| The Swedish government has implemented a greenhouse gas reduction mandate for gasoline and diesel. This means that fuel suppliers must reduce greenhouse gas emissions from these fuels by a certain percentage every year, through the blending of biofuels or purchasing electricity credits. The aim of the scheme is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transports and mobile machinery in Sweden. Updated in 2025. The current decided reduction level is 10% since 2025 and onwards.
