This document presents information on low carbon transport. It discusses the objectives of reducing carbon emissions through improved mobility and fuel efficiency. Several innovative ways to reduce carbon in the transport sector are outlined, including electric vehicles, hybrids, biofuels and hydrogen fuel cells. The challenges of introducing these technologies include affordability, adaptability and availability issues. Indian initiatives involving electric rickshaws and ethanol-powered buses in Nagpur are highlighted. The conclusions emphasize that a strategic approach is needed to transition to low carbon transport and meet emissions targets through public transport and biofuel usage.

3. 1. Introduction
What is carbon emission?
3
1. Carbon emissions are
the common type of
gas emitted from the
burning of fossil fuels.
2. The higher the carbon
content in the fossil fuel or
the more inefficient the
burning process is,
generally the more Carbon
that is produced.

4. How is the Emitted Carbon Harmful?
 When the CO2 is released into the atmosphere it
remains there until it is absorbed in some form.
 For example approximately 50% of all CO2 released
into the atmosphere is absorbed by the oceans.
 The ocean absorbs half of all carbon released into
the atmosphere.CO2 absorbs heat waves because
they have longer wave lengths than sun light does,
thus stopping the heat from being reflected into
space.
 This is called the "greenhouse effect" and has been
linked by scientists to global climate change.

5. 2. Objectives of Low Carbon
Transport
 Enhancing capacity of
cities to improve mobility
with lower CO2
emissions.
 Gradual reduction in
Global Warming and also
in fossil fuels.
 To bring change in the
efficiency of vehicle to
reduce carbon content in
atmosphere.

6. •"Promoting Low-Carbon
Transport in India", a major
initiative of the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP),
hereafter referred to as the Low
Carbon Transport (LCT) project in
this presentation
• The overall context in which the
Low Carbon Transport project
has been undertaken.
• India is currently the fourth
largest Green House Gases
emitter in the world, although its
per capita emissions are less than
half the world's average.

7. 3. Challenges For Introducing Low
Carbon Transport
•
7
Affordability
Most elements of the technology are currently more
expensive than those they are designed to replace.
Adaptability
This is a fast moving space, with rapid developments in
technology, specifications, standards and architectures.
 Applicability
It is essential that the most appropriate low carbon
vehicles are selected for particular roles and duty cycles.

8.  Availability
There is a high demand
for low carbon vehicles. While
other are publically or privately
preparing low carbon vehicle
product lines have yet to come
online in large numbers.
Action
If local authorities do
nothing, low carbon vehicles will
appear in the community in a
haphazard way.By implementing
a strategy, authorities can
manage their introduction and
maximise the associated
opportunities

9. 4. Innovative Ways for Carbon
Reduction
 A range of new and
emerging lightweight
materials, nearer market
hybrid petrol-electric or
diesel-electric vehicles
 ‘‘plug-in’’ hybrids which
can be re-charged from
the electricity grid.
 second generation bio
fuels, manufactured
from a wide range of
biomass sources

10.  hydrogen powered
vehicles and fuel
cells.And by using Hybrid
vehicles
 Using Internal
combustion Engine and
Checking oil content may
reduce carbon content

12. Active Participation of India
Cabs which emits carbon
in high percentage
Should be replaced by e-
Rickshaw which runs on
elecrticity

13. Reducing Carbon Content
 Ethanol Driven Bus
 It is driven on Ethanol
 It reduces Green house
Gas emission and local air
pollution
 Nagpur was the first
Indian city which adopted
this bus and soon will
recommend to higher
authority of India.
13
 It can reduce fossil carbon dioxide
emission by up to 90%.

14. Advantages
14
1. The measures set out in this
strategy will ensure that transport
makes a major contribution to the
India's efforts in reducing CO2
emissions.
2. Before the impact of measures in
this strategy are taken into
account, our existing policies mean
that emissions from transport are
projected to be around 15 million
tonnes of CO2 lower than they
would otherwise have been in
2020.
3. On top of this, the further
measures set out in this strategy
mean that we project to save an
additional 17.7 million tonnes of
CO2 in 2020, equating to 85 million
tonnes of CO2 over the third carbon
budget period from 2018-2022

15. Importance of the project
 It will reduce the Green House Gas effect.
 Fossil Fuel based vehicles would be replaced by
electric vehicles.
 It will help to increase Sustainable development for
future generations.
 It will also reduce Air pollution.

16. Conclusion
 . Any future transport strategy must consider options
for introducing low carbon transport if CO2 targets
are to be met, urban air quality improved and our
reliance on fossil fuels are reduced.
 The low carbon transport domain is new and fast
moving. Those with a strong, integrated strategy will
lead the way.
 It can be thus concluded that after studying about
Low Carbon Transport, in order to prevail it,
emissions from transport can be reduced by adopting
a sustainability approach like use of public transport,
higher penetration of bio-fuels, etc in order to move
our country to a low-carbon growth path.
