GHG, cost and material use implications of decarbonizing heavy-duty trucks with zero-emission technologies

Lih Wei’s research examines the economic and material use implications of zero-emission heavy-duty trucks to inform policymaking in the tough-to-decarbonize sector. By integrating life cycle and techno-economic assessment tools and material flow analyses, the research findings will have broad applications across regions seeking to mitigate emissions from the economically-vital sector in line with climate targets.

Climate Positive Energy has integrated into the Lawson Climate Institute.

Integration of the Climate Positive Energy Initiative (CPE) into the Lawson Climate Institute (LCI) represents a strategic evolution that amplifies University of Toronto’s collective impact on climate solutions. CPE's established expertise in sustainable energy research and innovation becomes a cornerstone of the Lawson Climate Institute's comprehensive mandate to address the climate crisis through technology, policy, and education.

Existing and ongoing grants, research projects, partnerships, and other activity under Climate Positive Energy will continue uninterrupted and will transition to operate under the Lawson Climate Institute brand in the coming months.
