Book excerpt: " TRB's second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Report S2-C09-RR-1: Incorporating Greenhouse Gas Emissions into the Collaborative Decision-Making Framework identifies where and how greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption fit into a conceptual decision-making framework, including key decision points.The report presents background information on the role of GHG emissions in the transportation sector, factors influencing the future of emissions, GHG emissions reduction strategies, as well as information on cost effectiveness and feasibility of these reduction strategies. It also presents case studies to illustrate different scales and institutional contexts for GHG analyses. " -- publisher's description

Download or read book Transport Energy and CO2 written by International Energy Agency and published by OECD. This book was released on 2009 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Car ownership is set to triple by 2050, trucking activity will double and air travel could increase fourfold. This book examines how to enable mobility without accelerating climate change. it finds that if changes are made to the way people travel, adoption of technologies to improve vehicle efficiency and a shift to low-CO2 fuels, it is possible to move onto a different pathway where transport CO2 emissions by 2050 are far below current levels, at costs that are lower than many assume. the report discusses the prospects for shifting more travel to the most efficient modes and reducing travel growth rates, improving vehicle fuel efficiency by up to 50% using cost-effective, incremental technologies, and moving toward electricity, hydrogen, and advanced biofuels to achieve a more secure and sustainable transport future. If governments implement strong policies to achieve this scenario, transport can play its role and dramatically reduce CO2 emissions by 2050.

Book excerpt: The ITF Transport Outlook provides an overview of recent trends and near-term prospects for the transport sector at a global level, as well as long-term prospects for transport demand to 2050, for freight (maritime, air and surface), passenger transport (car, rail and air) and CO2 emissions.
Download or read book Cost Effectiveness Analysis of the Emission Abatement in the Shipping Sector Emissions written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maritime transport is generally considered environmental friendly compared with other transportation means. Nevertheless, shipping emissions give an important contribution to the global anthropogenic pollution and are a significant source of damage to environment and human health. Contrary to land bases sources, few regulations exist and shipping emissions are expected to grow as a consequence of increasing transport volume. For this reason, both technological improvement and international legislation are urgently needed. This report summarizes the NOx SOx and CO2 abated technologies and provide an overview of the costs and benefits related to potential emissions reductions. Investigating the cost effectiveness of specific emission measure, this report provides important information for transport sustainability. However, to break the connection between maritime transport and environmental damage, stricter emission regulation and powerful economic instruments are also needed.
Download or read book A CO2 Emission Trading Scheme for German Road Transport written by Patrick Jochem and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2009 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attempting to counter the possible impacts of global warming, the European Union has promised to reduce its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 8% until 2010, compared to 1990. Although it is the only sector which increases its CO2 emissions, the transport sector, which contributes to around 28% of European CO2 emissions, has been exempted from the European Emission Trading Scheme (ETS). This dissertation develops a partial meso-economic simulation model with multi-agent attributes to assess the impacts of an upstream CO2 emission trading scheme in German road transport. The effects on certificate prices and fuel demand are calculated with respect to the individual reaction functions of households and freight forwarders. It becomes apparent that, from the current perspective, the willingness-to-pay of households for prestigious (but fuel-inefficient) cars is outbalanced by technical mitigation costs in other sectors. Thus, in the open trading scheme (extended ETS), no major changes in transport demand are assumed. The main effect will be steady CO2 emissions in road transport, but high payments to other sectors for mitigation. Macroeconomic impacts complete the analysis. Dissertation.
Download or read book Climate Intervention written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The signals are everywhere that our planet is experiencing significant climate change. It is clear that we need to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from our atmosphere if we want to avoid greatly increased risk of damage from climate change. Aggressively pursuing a program of emissions abatement or mitigation will show results over a timescale of many decades. How do we actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to make a bigger difference more quickly? As one of a two-book report, this volume of Climate Intervention discusses CDR, the carbon dioxide removal of greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere and sequestration of it in perpetuity. Climate Intervention: Carbon Dioxide Removal and Reliable Sequestration introduces possible CDR approaches and then discusses them in depth. Land management practices, such as low-till agriculture, reforestation and afforestation, ocean iron fertilization, and land-and-ocean-based accelerated weathering, could amplify the rates of processes that are already occurring as part of the natural carbon cycle. Other CDR approaches, such as bioenergy with carbon capture and sequestration, direct air capture and sequestration, and traditional carbon capture and sequestration, seek to capture CO2 from the atmosphere and dispose of it by pumping it underground at high pressure. This book looks at the pros and cons of these options and estimates possible rates of removal and total amounts that might be removed via these methods. With whatever portfolio of technologies the transition is achieved, eliminating the carbon dioxide emissions from the global energy and transportation systems will pose an enormous technical, economic, and social challenge that will likely take decades of concerted effort to achieve. Climate Intervention: Carbon Dioxide Removal and Reliable Sequestration will help to better understand the potential cost and performance of CDR strategies to inform debate and decision making as we work to stabilize and reduce atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide.
