AQMx Webinar Series: #2 New Sectoral Guidance on Fuel Quality

-
(Paris)
Virtual

The AQMx webinar series will highlight the key activities, recommendations, and supporting resources included in the AQMx Sectoral Guidance launched at UNEA-7, covering four priority policy interventions to achieve clean air:

 

  • Agriculture: Promoting alternatives to crop residue burning 
     
  • Household energy: Deploying e-cooking solutions 
     
  • Road transport: Improving fuel quality 
     
  • Waste management: Eradicating open waste burning 

 

The AQMx Road Transport Sectoral Guidance highlights foundational actions that unlock major air quality gains, including:

 

  • Reducing sulfur levels to enable high-performing vehicle standards
  • Cutting particulate emissions by up to 90%
  • Using small fuel surcharges to fund nationwide fuel quality testing
  • Aligning regionally to prevent high-sulfur fuel dumping
     

 

It will also showcase success stories in each of these areas, and highlight how the AQMx Sectoral Guidance can support their replication and upscaling. Time allowed for Q&A will allow for further discussion, and suggestions for future AQMx Sectoral Guidance covering other sectors or policies.
