Electrifying Surface Transport: Evaluating the Theoretical use of Scotland's ...

Katelin Hanson

This document summarizes a dissertation on electrifying surface transport in Oahu, Hawaii. It presents three scenarios for electric vehicle adoption rates from 2013 to 2045 and calculates the resulting reductions in fossil fuel emissions and potential increases in grid emissions. The key findings are that a high adoption scenario of 54% electric vehicles by 2045 could reduce emissions by 28 megatons of CO2, but this high rate is necessary to fully transition to electric vehicles and realize savings. However, increased electricity demand from electric vehicles risks negating these savings if the grid remains dependent on fossil fuels. Fully coupling electric vehicles with renewable energy generation, as aimed for in Hawaii's 100% renewable energy goal, is needed to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions from

Energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from transport are expected to increase substantially by 2050 without action. Transport already contributes about a quarter of energy-related emissions. Measures to reduce transport demand like compact urban planning and expanded public transit could save $70 trillion by 2050. Governments and organizations plan to take bold action to cut transport emissions through greater use of public transit, electric vehicles, and more efficient rail systems. Their goals include increasing public transport and electric vehicle use worldwide and cutting rail emissions by 75% by 2050.

Hydropower in iran. by Dr Siamak Goudarzi, Open Iran

Siamak Goudarzi, PhD

This document discusses hydropower opportunities and challenges in Iran. It notes that while Iran has significant hydropower potential, currently only 5% of its electricity is generated through hydropower. The government has established initiatives to support developing more hydropower projects through public-private partnerships and other models. However, hydropower development faces challenges including access to funds, currency fluctuations, and lack of repayment guarantees. There remain significant opportunities to tap Iran's hydropower potential and boost renewable energy development given growing electricity demand.

Assessing the achieved and missed co-benefits of INDCs

NewClimate Institute

The document analyzes the co-benefits achieved and potential additional co-benefits of countries' INDCs by 2030 related to cost savings from fossil fuel imports, prevented deaths from air pollution, and jobs created in renewable energy. It finds that the INDCs of EU, US, China, Canada, and Japan could achieve $41 billion in cost savings, prevent 115,000 air pollution deaths, and create 1 million renewable energy jobs by 2030 compared to current policies, but a 100% renewable scenario could more than double these benefits. It concludes that considering these co-benefits could increase climate ambition.

1) Electromobility has reached a tipping point and electric vehicles sales are increasing significantly in some countries like Norway. 2) If electromobility is implemented properly, it can help integrate larger amounts of variable renewable energy into power systems. However, electric vehicle charging may require grid reinforcements and smart charging strategies are needed. 3) Transitioning the transport sector to renewable energy can reduce transportation carbon emissions by 70% by 2050 and help achieve climate change goals, with two-thirds of reductions coming from electromobility powered by carbon-free electricity projected to be 85% renewable. Biofuels and hydrogen can also contribute to decarbonizing transportation.

Electricity Market Design for African Power Pools 2021

Mohamed Abbas

Msc thesis defense presentation: The situation of power system reforms in Africa displays incomplete reform steps and unfulfilled goals. The performance statistics of the power system are very low and tremendous efforts remain to be exerted to bridge the gap. Reforms in Africa were pursued with the end goal of creating an electricity market on both the national and the regional levels. While none of African countries’ experiences was successful in creating a national market, the regional efforts succeeded in creating a regional competitive market. Currently in Africa, five power pools are under development for creating regional markets that cover the entire continent of Africa. These power pools are in different stages of development and little attention has been given to study them. Our research aims to provide for the first time a thorough understanding of the function and the factors that shaped the development of African power pools. Through a comparative case study, we investigate the three biggest and most advanced power pools in Africa to answer the question of "How can the design of regional power pools in Africa be adapted to facilitate the sustainable energy transition, improve service quality and economic efficiency?". In this research, we provide a comprehensive understanding of African power pools by building on market design theory and integrating the theories of organization, capacity building, and regional integration. Based on theory and our empirical findings, we formulate a framework that explains the factors and dynamics of developing and designing regional power pools. The report concludes with a series of policy recommendations for the different actors and recommendations for further research.

IEA Executive Director Presentation to G20 Energy Ministers Session

International Energy Agency

LNG is becoming the preferred way to transport natural gas over long distances, with the number of importing countries expected to reach 50 by the mid-2020s, up from fewer than 10 in 2000. In 2018, wind, solar PV and bioenergy provided 11% of electricity in G20 countries while nuclear provided 12% and hydro 16%. There are four key opportunities to scale up hydrogen between now and 2030 to help meet energy security and decarbonization goals. Worldwide improvements in energy efficiency are slowing, despite significant untapped potential, and stronger action is imperative.

Cindy Burbank's Presentation to the 2009 Highway Users Annual Meeting

James Barnes

Climate change is real and already occurring, according to scientific evidence. Significant reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 60-80% below 1990 levels are needed by 2050 to mitigate climate change. For the transportation sector, a fair target would be a 60-80% reduction below current levels. Transportation GHG reductions can come from five areas: vehicle efficiency, low-carbon fuels, reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT), improving vehicle and system operations, and making construction and maintenance more sustainable. Vehicle and fuel technology improvements can achieve most reductions for light-duty vehicles (LDVs) through 2030, but additional strategies are needed like lowering VMT growth, improving traffic flow, expanding carpooling and transit, and

Transport Poverty - car related economic stress

Institute for Transport Studies (ITS)

- 9% of UK households spend a disproportionate amount (over 9.5%) of their income on transportation costs and have a low residual income, indicating they are in a state of "car-related economic stress". - Concepts of "fuel poverty" cannot be directly applied to transportation due to differences between energy consumption in the home and travel needs, though metrics can identify households that overspend on transportation. - Rural and northern areas of England are more likely to experience high levels of car-related economic stress due to low incomes, high transportation costs, and poor public transit access.

This document summarizes the findings of the "Moving Cooler" study on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector in the United States. It finds that transportation accounts for over 28% of total US GHG emissions. The study examined a wide range of strategies to reduce emissions, organized into 6 "bundles" including land use and public transportation improvements as well as system efficiency and road pricing. Modeling found aggressive implementation could reduce emissions by 11-18% by 2050, while maximum deployment could achieve reductions of 17-35% through strategies that also offer cost savings and support other social goals. Both near-term and long-term strategies are needed to significantly reduce the cumulative emissions challenge over time.

Environmentally Friendly Cars: Promoting and increasing their use in the UK

ZY8

This document discusses promoting and increasing the use of environmentally friendly cars in the UK. It notes that transportation emissions are a major contributor to greenhouse gases and climate change. While policies have aimed to reduce car emissions, targets have not been met due to insufficient public awareness and higher costs of alternative technologies. The document aims to identify reasons for the lack of environmentally friendly cars and recommend strategies to promote their use, like increasing knowledge and providing incentives. Adoption of these electric and low-emission vehicles could significantly reduce greenhouse gases from transportation.

Andrea Lacasse, PE

This paper analyzes the distributional effects of increasing the federal gasoline tax and implementing a vehicle mileage fee in the United States. It uses a regression model and 2001 National Household Travel Survey data to predict how households' vehicle miles traveled may change in response to policy changes, considering factors like income, location, and vehicle fuel efficiency. The paper finds that a gasoline tax increase or mileage fee could impact some groups more than others. It concludes that the effects on different populations should be carefully considered to promote both effective revenue generation and fair impacts across groups.
