Reducing Carbon Emissions from Transport Projects
www.oecd.orgTransportation is the fastest growing major contributor to global climate change, accounting for 23% of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions. Many experts foresee a three- to five-fold increase in CO 2 emissions from transportation in Asian countries by 2030
Public Transportation’s Role in Responding to Climate Change
www.transit.dot.govReducing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation will likely require a broad range of strategies, including increasing vehicle efficiency, lowering the carbon content of fuels, and reducing vehicle miles of travel. Public transportation can be one part of the solution. U.S. Department of Transportation. Federal Transit Administration. FIGURE 1

Public Transportation Reduces Greenhouse Gases and ...
www.apta.comBetween 1990 and 2006, emissions in the transportation sector increased by more than 25%, representing almost half of the total national growth in greenhouse gas emissions during this period. • Approximately 85% of transportation sector emissions are related to the surface transportation system. 1

www.faa.govtransportation modes use similar fuels. For that reason, energy intensity – the amount of energy consumed to transport one passenger one mile – is a useful metric for comparing greenhouse gas emissions among different transportation modes. Rail, at 2,750 BTU/passenger miles, has the lowest energy use per
Transportation sector energy consumption
www.eia.govOECD transportation energy consumption patterns are already well established with slow economic and population growth rates and vehicle efficiency improvements, transportation energy use for the region as a whole does not increase over the 2012–40 projection period (see “Motor vehicle fuel economy and emissions standards by country,” below).
Biofuels & Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Myths versus Facts
www.energy.govgreenhouse gas emissions by up to 86%. • Ethanol readily biodegrades without harm to the environment, and is a safe, high-performance replacement for fuel additives such as MTBE. • Use of ethanol can increase emissions of some air pollutants because fossil energy is used during the farming of biomass crops and during biofuel production.
