  • Beyond MACC curves for fleet decarbonization

    Welcome to the Mindful Mobility Tech Talks, where host Madeline Reznick engages in a compelling discussion with Allison Eames, Director of Carbon Intelligence and Analytics at Rappel. In this episode, they explore the intricacies of fleet decarbonization and introduce a powerful tool, the CO2-AIM model, which assists companies in transitioning to low-carbon operations through scalable asset-level modeling. Eames shares insights on overcoming the common challenges faced by fleets, emphasizing the importance of a data-driven approach that surpasses traditional cost analyses.

    Listeners will gain an understanding of how the CO2-AIM model factors in specific variables such as vehicle types, duty cycles, replacement timelines, and location constraints, offering a nuanced strategy tailored for real-world application. The episode delves into successful case studies ranging from regional warehouse operations to national utility services, demonstrating the flexibility and scalability of this unique approach.

                  About Mindful Mobility Tech Talks - the podcast

                  From the publisher's feed

                  Co-produced by the Green Transportation Summit and Expo (GTSE) and the NW Clean Cities Coalition, the Mindful Mobility Tech Talks podcast delves into the fleet technologies and innovations showcased at our annual conference. Mobility is the backbone of our nation, and fleets—whether buses, taxis, freight vehicles, airport carts, or public vehicles—are everywhere, and a significant portion of transportation emissions, present a huge opportunity to systematically minimize pollution, air problems, and health problems. By focusing on fleet optimization and sustainable infrastructure, we can drive meaningful change for our communities and the environment.
