Energy Scenarios BRT key to meeting global energy targets Source: IEA data

Energy Scenarios Upcoming: ―Energy Technology Perspectives 2012‖ BRT in the world’s 1 000 largest cities would provide tremendous mobility benefits, along with significant fuel savings and CO2 reductions If implemented widely enough, BRT can contribute substantially to global CO2 savings, potentially up to 0.5 GtCO2 cumulative in the 2010 to 2050 time frame Comparison of three options for passenger mass transport in cities Light Rail BRT Metro CO2 intensity (gCO2/pkm) 4 to 22 14 to 22 3 to 21 Capital cost (USD millions/km) 13 to 40 5 to 27 27 to 330 Network length that can be built for USD 1 billion (km) 25 to 77 37 to 200 3 to 37 World network length in 2011 (km) 15 000 2 139 10 000 Capacity (thousand passengers per hour per direction) 2 to 12 10 to 35 12 to 45 Source: IEA, based on Kenworthy, 2003; Flyvberg, 2008; Dung and Ross, 2008; UITP, 2012.
