Our ambition is to develop a ‘whole system’ model in the way we believe will deliver the tools to investigate realistic transport policy instruments. For any model to be truly useful it must take account of the interactions between technology and society – this is what we are trying to achieve with this programme.
About the Organisation
The Institute for Carbon and Energy Reduction in Transport (ICERT) is an interdisciplinary programme which aims to examine the effectiveness of various technical solutions to cut the greenhouse gases emitted by cars and other road transport. ICERT aims to advise government on future carbon reduction policies and look at the whole infrastructure that will be needed for the successful implementation of practical low carbon transport. Only by considering engineering, science, economics and policy instruments together will we understand and enhance the potential impact of a particular technology, fuel, or policy instrument.
