What can CE Delft do for you?

EU transport policy, regulation and market design

Our work is grounded in the European Commission Better Regulation Guidelines and Toolbox and includes Impact Assessments, evaluations, implementation studies, stakeholder consultation processes and market analyses.

We support studies related to:

  • effectiveness and efficiency of policy measures
  • barriers and opportunities for transport decarbonisation
  • socio-economic impacts and market uptake
  • carbon pricing and the internalisation of external transport costs
  • multimodal freight and logistics systems

Our expertise covers European transport and climate legislation related to infrastructure deployment, renewable transport fuels and transport decarbonisation, including:

  • AFIR
  • RED III and transport targets
  • RFNBOs and advanced fuels in transport
  • ETS and ETS2
  • FuelEU Maritime
  • ReFuelEU Aviation
  • TEN-T and transport infrastructure policy

We combine transport expertise with environmental economics, energy systems analysis and behavioural insights to support policy design, implementation and market uptake.

Maritime transport and international frameworks

Maritime transport plays a central role in European and international decarbonisation efforts. CE Delft supports studies and policy development related to sustainable shipping, renewable and low-carbon marine fuels, port and bunkering infrastructure, shipping emissions, and maritime energy demand under both EU and IMO frameworks. Our work helps the maritime sector navigate the transition towards low-carbon shipping through expertise in fuels, infrastructure, emissions and international policy frameworks.

Our work covers:

  • FuelEU Maritime
  • EU ETS for shipping
  • IMO climate and GHG frameworks
  • shipping emissions accounting and monitoring
  • maritime fuel pathways and deployment scenarios

Carbon footprinting, emissions accounting and sustainability methodologies

CE Delft coordinated the CountEmissions EU consortium, contributing to the harmonisation of transport emissions accounting methodologies across transport modes while addressing differences and commonalities between existing standards and approaches.

We support policymakers, sector organisations, companies and project consortia with methodological expertise and practical insights related to transport emissions and environmental performance.

Our expertise includes:

  • carbon footprinting and emissions accounting methodologies
  • ISO 14083 and GHG Protocol
  • life-cycle assessment (LCA) and well-to-wheel analysis
  • Chain of Custody approaches and sustainability verification under RED III
  • harmonisation of emissions accounting approaches across transport modes
