1. INTRODUCTION

CLEVER (Creating Legitimate Emission Factors for Verified GHG Emission Reductions in Transport) is a project funded from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the Grant Agreement No. 101146908.

The main goal of the project is to develop a comprehensive set of harmonised greenhouse gas (GHG) emission factors for the transport sector (freight and passenger), covering both conventional fuels and new fuels, including production pathways not yet covered by existing emission factor databases. CLEVER also aims to develop and test a harmonized, future-proof emission factor methodology framework that can be applied in the global transport and logistics sector to support accurate emission accounting, thus enabling informed decision-making, policies and standard formulation and overall sustainable practices in the sector.

This survey is intended to set a basis for the assessment of the current state-of-the-art regarding the emission factors and to help the identification of gaps and stakeholder needs. The survey aims to include all possible stakeholder groups that are involved in the value chain of the sector (from fuel producers to fuel consumers and related third parties) who apply or even develop emission factors. Target of the survey is to gather feedback from all relevant stakeholders creating a representative sample from the entire value chain. The survey builds upon an initial scoping survey conducted with the project’s Expert Forum. Please fill it in as soon as possible and no later than 30 September (updated).

In CLEVER, we distinguish some of the terms:
a) Emission factor (EF): The estimated average emission rate of a given pollutant for a given source, relative to unit(s) of activity.[1]
b) Transport mode(s): Refers to the way in which passengers and/or goods can be transported.[2]
c) Emission factor development methodology(ies): The approach followed for the formulation of emission factors used to link the emission of a GHG for a particular source to the amount of activity causing the emission.[3]
d) Emissions calculation methodology: The approach used to determine greenhouse gas emissions from each source category.[4]
