Pursuing U.S.-Canada Grid Integration | |
Greater integration among regional power grids would lower electric sector emissions and power costs across eastern Canada and the northeastern United States, but coordination today is limited. Why this coordination hasn’t happened, and what can be done to make it happen, are important questions for regional decarbonization. Over the course of 2020, RAP partnered with the Transition Accelerator and Raab Associates to interview key policymakers and stakeholders and find out the extent of interest in pursuing deeper regional integration. The resulting report finds that there is strong support on both sides of the border for a collaborative process. | |

Making Electric Freight Work in Europe's Cities | |
Heavy-duty trucks are the main source of pollution and noise from urban freight, and electrifying these fleets can bring substantial benefits to cities and freight companies while advancing the transition to clean transport. A new study by RAP and the International Council on Clean Transportation delves into the energy requirements and cost factors of fleet electrification and describes how optimizing charging is the key to a cost-effective transition. | |
