        Directive (EU) 2023/959 establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union

        This directive creates a new emissions trading system (ETS2) to cover CO2 emissions from fuel combustion in buildings, road transport and small industries not covered by the EU ETS. The ETS2 is expected to be fully operational in 2028, with monitoring and reporting to begin in 2025. The ETS2 cap will be set to bring emissions down by 42% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels.

        National Energy Plan 2024

        The National Energy Policy Council (NEPC) announced intent to finalize the new National Energy Plan (known as NEP 2024), which contains the updated Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP).  The government included a consumption target of hydrogen fuel for on-road transportation at 4 kiloton of oil equivalent (ktoe) by 2037 in the new AEDP 2024.  The plan is to commercialize hydrogen fuel by 2035 if it is commercially feasible.

        SOR/2013-24 - Heavy-duty Vehicle and Engine Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations

        The objective of the Heavy-duty Vehicle and Engine Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations (the Regulations) is to reduce GHG emissions by establishing mandatory GHG emission standards for new on-road heavy-duty vehicles and engines that are aligned with U.S. national standards. The regulations apply to companies manufacturing and importing new on-road heavy-duty vehicles and engines of the 2014 and later model years for the purpose of sale in Canada including the whole range of on-road heavy-duty full-size pickup trucks, vans, tractors and buses, as well as a wide variety of vocational vehicles such…

        Smart Green mobility

        The HyTruck project aims to develop a transnational network of hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) for large trucks in the Baltic Sea region, supporting the EU’s goal of zero-emissions in road freight transport by 2030. The project assists public authorities in planning and constructing HRS by providing tools and guidelines to identify suitable locations, estimate technological and environmental impacts, and streamline development processes. The ultimate goal is to create a coordinated, competitive, and environmentally friendly hydrogen infrastructure, ensuring seamless and efficient refuelling for heavy-duty vehicles across the region.

        National Hydrogen Regulatory Review

        The Commonwealth, states and territories will endorse and publish 4 National Hydrogen Regulatory Guidebooks. Each guidebook will be on one of the following four topics:
        - Hydrogen production
        - Hydrogen refuelling facilities
        - Distribution of hydrogen by pipeline
        - Distribution of hydrogen by road and rail

        These Codes will provide non-legislative regulatory guidance, to support both the hydrogen industry and regulators to navigate the most significant regulatory barriers, in respect of the corresponding types of hydrogen projects. Final public consultation on the hydrogen production and hydrogen refuelling facilities Regulatory Guidebooks will be undertaken in June 2025, following which they will be submitted to…

        Ultra low emission trucks scheme

        Vans will go electric and lorries will run on hydrogen dual-fuel under a £20 million government programme to cut emissions and improve air quality, Transport Minister John Hayes announced today (11 January 2017).
        The funding, announced at the Sustainable Road Transport Conference, in central London, is being given to 20 firms who set out plans for innovative ways to deploy low and zero emission vehicles.
