CLEVER

CLEVER is at the forefront of refining greenhouse gas (GHG) emission calculations in the transport sector, a critical step in meeting Paris Climate Agreement targets. Building on existing global efforts, we aim to standardise different emission factor methods into one precise, unified approach. Together with fuel producers, transport providers, policymakers, and NGOs, we develop comprehensive and consistent emission factors grounded in the latest climate science.

Through these efforts, CLEVER is setting the foundation for industry-wide changes and positions itself at the forefront of reducing transport GHG emissions. Join us in driving a sustainable future ensuring that transport’s carbon footprint is measured accurately and managed effectively.

This initiative brings together a consortium of leading experts and stakeholders from various European countries to drive sustainable practices and combat climate change. A collaborative effort led by a multi-faceted team of specialist organisations, the CLEVER project aims to tackle a critical obstacle in calculating GHG emissions in the transport sector.

The focus is 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. Stay tuned for updates on the CLEVER project’s progress as we work towards a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future in the transport sector.
