To promote environmentally acceptable commuting and company-related mobility, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management, together with the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber in co-operation with three large enterprises, carried out a model project for "Transport Demand Management for Companies" which have shown encouraging results (e.g. -17% emissions). The following measures, mainly related to energy efficiency improvement, have been implemented: information events, information via internet, special travel offer, improved booking possibilities for business trips by railways, presentation of car-sharing, purchase of office bicycles, etc.

EC Regulation 510/2011 sets fuel efficiency targets for new Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) to be achieved by 2017 and 2020. EC Regulation 661/2009 sets minimum requirements and introduces labelling for the rolling resistance, wet grip and external rolling noise of tyres. The regulation translates a fleet average CO2 tailpipe emissions target for new vehicles sold in the EU market into specific targets for individual manufacturers according to the mass of their fleet. Heavy fines are imposed for non-compliance. The 2020 target is for a fleet average of 147g CO2 /km and represents a reduction of 19% from the 2012 average. Measures include the car and van grants towards ultra-low emission vehicle (ULEV) cars and vans, as well as various tax incentives including lower rates for Vehicle Excise Duty and Company Car Tax. EV infrastructure is directly supported through workplace charging scheme grants for EV chargepoints for employees and fleets, the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme grants towards home EV chargepoints and the On-street Residential Charging Scheme. Highways England have committed £15m to ensure EV chargepoints are available every 20 miles on the Strategic Road Network.

Allows consumers to make more informed vehicle purchase choices, and to place an appropriate value on fuel economy.

Feed-in tariff (FiT) rates are set annually by the Essential Services Commission (ESC). In 2017, following an ESC review, the government implemented reforms to feed-in tariff arrangements. These reforms allowed the ESC to determine a single feed-in tariff rate or multiple feed-in tariff rates and recognise the environmental and social value of distributed generation, including solar generation. Customers on the Transitional Feed-in Tariff and Standard Feed-in Tariff schemes, which expired on 31 December 2016, are also eligible for the new minimum feed-in tariffs. The feed-in tariff is available to solar and other eligible forms of renewable energy, such as wind, hydro or biomass, with a system size less than 100 kilowatts.

To assist large scale power producers, the Government of Yukon has adopted the Independent Power Production Policy which aims at enabling independent, non-utility electricity producers to sell electricity to Yukon’s two public utilities through renewable energy technologies, such as wind power, micro-hydro, biomass and solar electric (or photovoltaic) systems. The IPP policy was fully implemented in January 2019 and three projects were reviewed and approved by July 2019. These projects have a total forecast generation of 10.6 GWh, which is half the generation cap available under the policy’s Standing Offer Program. The first project should be operational by mid- 2020 and is expected to reduce emissions by 680 tonnes CO2 eq per year.
