The Robertson Scholar Program Buses: A cost-benefit analysis of existing technology and fuel options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

A closed discussion of experts, Nicholas Institute Staff, and Duke Transportation Staff, reviewed and discussed the outcome of an emissions benefits and costs analysis of new bus technologies for the Robertson Scholar Program Buses and other Duke University buses.  The pluses and minuses of running these new bus technologies on the ground will be discussed with experienced fleet managers.  The value of the cost-benefit model was considered for other fleet managers making similar decisions on buses.  And finally, we explored how a climate policy with a price on greenhouse gas emissions could incentive the adoption of these new bus technologies.
