NOx2030 (TA ČR Environment for Life, 2021–2023)

Project period: Technology Agency of the Czech Republic

Financial support: Technology Agency of the Czech Republic

Project description:

The main goal is to design and evaluate fiscal instruments to reduce NOx emissions from transport by 5 kt by 2030 compared to the NPSE-WM scenario. The subgoals are

• to analyze the preferences of households and individuals for alternative technologies of passenger cars and their transport mode choices,
• to analyze the behaviour of businesses using time-series data on passenger cars and light commercial vehicles fleets,
• to simulate the effect of road charging on heavy trucks by a four-stage transport model,
• to predict the impacts on fuel consumption, direct and indirect NOx, PM and CO2 emissions by the TIMES optimization model,
• to quantify the impacts on the economy by a general equilibrium model and
• to evaluate direct administrative and compliance costs of recommended variant(s).
