Assessment of technologies to decarbonize the transport sectorIEA-ETSAP
This document summarizes the results of a life cycle assessment (LCA) comparing the environmental impacts of current and future passenger vehicles, including internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV). The LCA finds that BEVs and FCEVs can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 70% compared to ICEVs if powered by renewable electricity or hydrogen. However, the production of batteries and fuel cells for BEVs and FCEVs still carries environmental burdens. In the short term, natural gas vehicles show the most potential for reducing impacts, while electric vehicles in the long term need sufficient clean electricity and recycling
This document presents a feasibility study for a public transit network linking the cities of Tripoli and Beirut in Lebanon. It analyzes two proposed alternatives: 1) an underground subway network and 2) an aboveground railway network. A life cycle cost analysis is performed to evaluate the economic feasibility of each alternative by calculating their benefit-to-cost ratios. Both alternatives are found to be economically feasible, but the aboveground railway network is preferred as it has a higher benefit-to-cost ratio and is more profitable. A sensitivity analysis shows that while alternative 2 remains feasible, a large decrease in benefits could significantly impact the feasibility of alternative 1.

Electric bikes have quietly become a prominent mode of sustainable transportation. While only 112,000 electric cars were sold worldwide in 2013, 40 million electric bikes were sold that year, 32 million of them in China alone. This was fueled by Chinese government policies classifying e-bikes as non-motorized transport, exempting them from licensing requirements and allowing access to bike lanes. However, e-bikes' sustainability depends on factors like the energy source used for charging and safe battery recycling, and they may not reduce motorized vehicle use in all contexts. More research is needed to understand e-bikes' environmental, safety, and accessibility impacts in different locations.

Due to the increasing population and number of cars for a small and limited space country,
Lebanon is facing a major traffic congestion problem. The Lebanese ministry of interior affairs has
reported that 1.8 million cars exist in Lebanon, whereas its total population is around 4 million. The
Lebanese ministry of environment reported in its 2nd national communication in 2011 to the United
Nations framework convention on climate change (UNFCCC) that the transportation sector
contributed in the year 2000 alone to 29% of the total carbon dioxide (CO2) energy related emissions
and 22% of the total green house gas (GHG) emissions. Furthermore, the economic and social
commission for western Asia (ESCWA) report, published in 2011, recommends measures and
policies to be adopted in Western Asia to tend towards a sustainable transportation systems. On the
other hand, the Lebanese government is unable to face this major problem and to find a sustainable
solution for its air environment quality. This research proposes public transportation as a sustainable
solution. The main objective of this research is to perform an economic feasibility study using ‘life
cycle cost analysis’ (LCCA) method for a railway network linking Tripoli to Beirut cities. Two
alternatives are proposed: alternative 1: an underground subway network; and alternative 2 an
aboveground railway network. The LCCA applies the ‘benefit-to-cost’ (B/C) ratio for governmental
projects in order to evaluate the two alternatives. The economic evaluation advises that both
alternatives are feasible; however alternative 2 is preferred and more profitable. A sensitivity
analysis is also performed in order to evaluate the effect of uncertainties of benefits, costs and
discount rate on the decision. It is observed that a big decrease in the benefits significantly change
the B/C ratio of alternative 1, while the alternative 2 remains feasible.
The document discusses prospects for implementing road pricing in Accra, Ghana to reduce traffic congestion. It outlines several causes of congestion in Accra including a proliferation of low-capacity vehicles and insufficient road infrastructure for travel demand. The study aims to examine the problems and prospects of road pricing, improve accessibility, and ascertain public views. If implemented, road pricing is hypothesized to reduce the number of low-capacity vehicles entering the study area and potentially decrease congestion by shifting some trips to public transit or other times. The methodology involves surveys of various stakeholder groups to determine relationships between road pricing and transportation choices.

This document provides an overview of transportation trends in China from 1980 to 2010. It discusses the rapid growth of China's population and economy during this period, which drove increasing demand for transportation. All major modes of transportation, including railways, highways, waterways and airports expanded significantly. However, this growth also caused environmental issues like air pollution and increased China's share of global energy use and carbon emissions. The document analyzes transportation and emissions data over this period and discusses the government's efforts to address problems and encourage more sustainable transportation.
The document discusses the need for sustainable transport solutions like tramways to address issues with India's growing urban population and transportation needs. Tramways offer environmental benefits over other modes of transport by producing fewer greenhouse gas emissions and using less energy per passenger. They can carry large numbers of people and have lower capital costs than other rail systems. The document also examines how tramways can facilitate better city planning by supporting development along their routes and improving pedestrian access. Case studies from Lyon, France demonstrate how tramways transformed cities by reducing vehicle traffic and increasing real estate values. The conclusion is that tramways provide an efficient, economic and sustainable form of public transportation.

It highlights several successful projects implementing these eco-technological solutions in India to restore polluted rivers and streams.
The document is from Biosfera Foundation, an organization that provides environmental management solutions using bioengineering techniques. It summarizes various projects Biosfera has undertaken to restore contaminated water bodies and canals in India through integrated approaches involving plants, microbes, and solar powered technology. Examples mentioned include restoring lakes in Lucknow and Kolkata as well as canals in Kolkata and Manila.
The document discusses water management practices in Rainbow Drive, a residential area in Bangalore. It summarizes how the community manages its water supply through centralized borewells and storage tanks. It also discusses the community's waste water treatment through two STPs and potential reuse of treated water. Over time, the community implemented various reforms like metering, tariff revisions, banning private borewells, and incentivizing rainwater harvesting to reduce water usage.
This document discusses strategies for Hyderabad, India to transform into a global city through sustainable water management. It outlines three key points:
1. Hyderabad has potential to become a global city by balancing urban growth with green/blue environments, but sustainable water resource management is needed.
2. Concepts like circular economy and "sponge cities" that capture excess runoff can help minimize water risks, carbon footprint, and capture resources like methane from waste.
3. Suggestions for action include leveraging technology for digital water management, incentivizing innovations through public-private partnerships and financing, and building stakeholder engagement for quality of life goals.
The Hyderabad Golf Association faced a shortage of 2 million liters per day (MLD) of quality irrigation water. Additionally, the government mandated improving the quality of surface ponds near the golf course that were polluted with untreated sewage. The Natural Biological System was implemented as a case study to address both issues. It treats 3 MLD of sewage on-site without energy and produces tertiary quality water for irrigation, rejuvenating the ponds. Water quality tests showed significant reductions in parameters like COD, BOD, and fecal coliform after treatment. The system provides a green, aesthetic and cost-effective solution to water and wastewater challenges.
This document discusses five theories of urban water restoration: 1) Consider the full watershed, 2) Ensure water quality by managing the catchment area, 3) Find beneficial uses for all water, 4) Take a holistic planning approach that generates economic and social benefits, and 5) Aim for vibrant, living water bodies rather than sterile infrastructure. Case studies from India are presented for each theory. The document advocates comprehensive planning and stakeholder engagement to successfully restore urban blue spaces.
This document provides context and proposes solutions for developing sustainable townships and campuses in the future. It discusses challenges around unsustainable urban development in India, including issues with transportation, water, energy, and sanitation infrastructure. Potential opportunities and solutions are presented at different scales from the household to neighborhood level. Short, medium, and long-term actions are suggested to accelerate clean energy adoption, sustainable water management, and improved mobility. The document aims to start a discussion around developing integrated roadmaps and policies to guide more sustainable development.
The document discusses water supply challenges facing Bengaluru, India. It notes that while basic water supply is available, the city faces key stresses including depletion of surface water sources, loss of tree cover impacting water availability, multiple drought years reducing reservoir levels, severe groundwater depletion, and reduction in open spaces and water bodies. Without action, the growing population will outpace existing water supply plans, risking a "Day Zero" water crisis.
This document summarizes a report on the pedestrianization project of the Historic Peninsula in Istanbul. It provides details on the project scope, implementation process, and economic impacts. The project pedestrianized over 295 streets between 2010-2013. It describes the costs and stakeholders involved for different sub-regions. Initially, local businesses worried that pedestrianization would negatively impact their revenues, but surveys later found that 49% of pedestrianized areas experienced increased retail turnover. The project improved the built environment and quality of life in the historic area.
The Green Corridor TOD project in Cali, Colombia aims to redevelop the abandoned railway line into a light rail transit system and densify the surrounding areas. The project would create 22 km of bike and pedestrian paths, improve intermodality, and generate new public spaces. Studies have assessed the feasibility of different transit technologies, developed a business model framework, and identified opportunities for land value capture. Funding from the NAMA Facility was secured to pilot priority interventions along the corridor in line with transit-oriented development and greenhouse gas mitigation principles. A recent study identified property tax, special assessments, and urban planning tools as potential land value capture instruments for the project under Colombian law.
This document discusses land value capture in Brazil, including air rights sales, CEPACs in São Paulo, and case studies of OUC Água Espraiada and Belo Horizonte. It notes that air rights can be sold based on basic floor area ratio (FAR) or additional FAR allowed. CEPACs in São Paulo were used to determine where and how to invest proceeds. The case studies achieved significant funds for infrastructure from LVC: OUC Água Espraiada generated $800 million and Belo Horizonte generated $115 million from LVC. The document concludes with lessons around clearly defining the purpose of LVC instruments and linking LVC goals to broader urban sustainability goals.
The document discusses Sistemas de Actuación por Cooperación (SAC) in Mexico City. SACs are planning tools that seek to coordinate public, private, and social sectors to implement strategic urban projects that benefit communities. SACs guide development to be sustainable, prosperous, participatory, and equitable. They promote investment and efficient land use to improve infrastructure, transport access, and territorial equity. The document outlines the process for establishing a SAC and how they operate through technical committees and agreements between stakeholders. It lists several SACs already established in Mexico City and their objectives to regenerate urban areas, generate social and economic equity, and improve quality of life through coordinated projects.
CDP works with partners and cities to collect environmental data in order to drive decision making and transition to a low-carbon economy. CDP manages cities' data and makes it available to various partners through data sharing and reporting platforms. This allows partners to work with and support cities using the shared data. CDP also provides tools like city analytics and reports to help cities improve data quality, reduce reporting burdens, and monitor their progress on climate goals.
The document discusses the Global Covenant of Mayors approach to climate action planning for cities. It provides information on the following key points in 3 sentences or less:
- The Global Covenant of Mayors has over 7,500 member cities from 120 countries representing over 680 million people committed to climate action.
- Cities that join the Global Covenant commit to completing an emissions inventory, setting an emissions reduction target, and creating a climate action plan to meet that target.
- The document provides guidance on conducting emissions inventories, setting targets, developing mitigation and adaptation plans, and examples of policies and projects cities have implemented through the Global Covenant of Mayors.
The document summarizes the goals and results of the GHG Platform India initiative. It aims to track India's GHG emissions, inform policymaking, and identify mitigation opportunities. Phase I estimated national emissions from 2007-2012. Phase II estimated national emissions from 2005-2013 and state-level emissions from 2005-2013. It found that India's emissions grew at 5.74% annually, with the energy sector as the largest contributor. Emissions intensity declined by around 12-14% from 2005-2013.
Shwetal Shah presented on key points of the Paris Agreement and India's Nationally Determined Contributions. The Paris Agreement aims to limit global temperature rise well below 2°C through country commitments to reduce emissions and transition to renewable energy. India's NDCs include reducing emissions intensity by 33-35% from 2005 levels by 2030, achieving 40% electricity from non-fossil fuel sources, and creating a carbon sink of 2.5-3 billion tons through additional forestry and tree cover. The Climate Change Department of Gujarat coordinates policy and encourages green technology to build a sustainable, climate-resilient future for the state.
The document discusses barriers to adopting electric bus fleets globally and innovations that can help overcome these barriers. It notes that while electric buses have higher upfront costs, they are already cost competitive over the lifetime when maintenance is considered. Many cities around the world have started implementing electric buses through different models involving new stakeholders, procurement changes, technological advances, and public sector support. Overall the document argues that barriers exist but innovations are emerging that can help accelerate the transition to electric buses globally.
The document discusses key barriers to electric vehicle deployment in India and programs that Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) is undertaking to address these barriers. The major barriers include high upfront costs of electric vehicles compared to diesel, pricing risks due to evolving battery technologies, lack of long term financing for batteries, lack of credit for smaller electric vehicles, need for charging infrastructure development, and lack of institutional capacity. CPI's programs seek to address these through initiatives like battery service agreements, long term debt facilities for batteries, financing for auto rickshaws, pay-as-you-save models, and project preparation facilities to connect cities and investors.
