Hamburg Institut Discussion Papers from HIR Hamburg Institut Research gGmbH

Abstract: On behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWK), the ad hoc working group (AhG) "Decarbonisation of the Automotive Value Chains" of the expert group "Transformation of the Automotive Industry" (ETA) developed recommendations for action to help make PCFs more standardised and comparable. This discussion paper summarises the methodological harmonisation requirements and the resulting recommendations for action that were developed on behalf of the Federal Environment Agency (UBA) as part of the accompanying research for the AhG.
