Publication alert! 📢 In a study by Ali E. Torkayesh and Prof. Dr. Sandra Venghaus at SOCECON, RWTH Aachen, an in-depth examination of existing cross-sectoral policies with direct or indirect effects on the sustainable transition in transport sector of Germany is presented. 🚚 ✈️ The paper reviews and analyzes EU and German policies within transport, energy, fiscal, bioeconomy, agriculture and circular economy domains: Next, it identifies transport-related targets, evaluates coherence of policies semi-quantitatively and interrelationships of fuel alternatives in different policies. Finally, the paper outlines strategic policy implications and recommendations for facilitating the sustainable transition through electrification and renewable fuels. 🌱 Check the full article through the link in the comments! 💬
