(Future Fuel Strategies) Recently, I talked to Kaloyan Tsilev with NGVA Europe about its GMobility Platform. Following are several excepts from our discussion, which you can listen to or download below or in ITunes. … “It’s a bit unfair to call battery electric vehicles or other electromobility carbon neutral. So, what we were advocating for with the technology-neutral approach is that you shouldn’t judge which vehicle is better based on the vehicle, but you should be thinking about the different technologies and the benefits that different technologies offer so that you get to the final goal, which is decarbonization. That’s a very important thing…

…What I’m actually afraid of is that we are going to reach our decarbonization targets but just on paper. We’re not going to reach them in practice, because we are ticking the boxes when it comes to compliance. Oh yes, these new vehicles, yeah, they’re not burning anything. Fantastic. Let’s tick the box here and call it a day. In reality, once you actually measure what’s happening on the environmental level and you see that your emissions are not really changing all that much, you get to start to think about why is it that we’re not reaching our decarbonization goals.” READ MORE includes AUDIO
