MIT Model Explores Feasibility of Zero Emission Trucks for Decarbonization

As a major contributor to global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the transportation sector has immense potential to advance decarbonization. However, a zero-emissions global supply chain requires re-imagining reliance on a heavy-duty trucking industry that emits 810,000 tons of CO2, or 6 percent of the United States' greenhouse gas emissions, and consumes 29 billion gallons of diesel annually in the U.S. alone.
