* * * * * * * * * Evaluation of carbon emission in multi-modal urban transport – a Sino-French joint research proposal Jean-Fran?ois Janin Jun Li MEEDDAT AFCDUD 3rd THNS Forum 11-12 September 2010, Shanghai Why evaluation is necessary? Transport sector accounts for more than 20% (IEA, 2006) of global carbon dioxide emissions (40% of GHG emissions in California). Sustainability (of a new THNS line, of the whole transport system of a city, of the whole city including housing ...) implies minimization of energy consumption and CO2 emissions to satisfy the same level of demand for mobility (service or utility). Strong public willingness to reduce the emissions from transport with co-benefits (mitigation of air pollution, security of energy supply , reduction of congestion, public health) However, few work has been done to provide simple and efficient tools for decision makers to evaluate (in particular developing countries): - Performance (in terms of energy and CO2) of an isolated system - Current emissions of a specific territory - Forecasts of emissions under certain conditions Some basic elements for evaluation: Framework UN Convention on Climate Change recommend actions to identify data to be collected, indicators to be produced to evaluate, communicate and verify the impact of actions taken to reduce impacts of transport on the climate In ARTEMIS European project (Assessment and Reliability of Transport Emission Models and Inventory Systems), light and heavy vehicles were tested and a data base on emissions in various conditions was created ADEME (French Agency for Environment and Energy Control) and Deloitte consulting company have evaluate the energy efficiency and GHG emission factors of several transport modes Surveys on number of vehicles and their use in several Chinese cities ARTEMIS results Tests were made in 2005 to explore the influence of many factors: type of cars
