1 CDM options for the Transport Sector Mauricio Zaballa Romero Belize city, August, 2010

2 Current Situation on the CDM Methodologies for Transport Only one methodology has been approved for big scale transport projects, the AM0031 for BRT systems. 4 Methodologies for the SS has been approved (efficient vehicles, efficient fleet (flota), biodiesels for transport and telepherics) 2

3 CDM Methodologies for Transport The only project of big scale which was registered and has CERs issuance in LAC is the BRT TransMilenio of Bogotá, Colombia. The project of improvement of the regenerative brake energy Metro Delhi was registered as CDM SS En proceso de registro: o o BRT Pereira, Colombia BRT Cali, Colombia 3

4 TransMilenio: Bogotá Project type: BRT integrated Size: 1.5 mill. Passengers per day Status: Registered and with CERs issued CERs + VERs: 400,000/year 4

5 Sources of GHG emission reductions BRT TM 14% 19% 18% bus renewal mode switch larger units higher occupancy rates 49% 5 5

6 Economic: CDM Benefits o Around 25 million USD until 2012 o In 21 years around million USD Flexibility through the CDM revenues. International prestige due to its support to the city and country mitigation efforts. Control of atmospheric pollutants and reduce of health impacts of them on the population, especially the PM10, NOx, SO2 and VOCs. 6 6

7 Other potential BRT projects for the CDM Pereira, Cali, Chongqing, Mexico City, Quito 7 7

8 Other CDM Transport projects Metro Delhi, Skytrain Mumbai, Metro Medellin 8 8

9 Cable car line of Medellin, Colombia 3 cable car lines with a capacity of 3,000 p/h and 30,000 per day Unique world-wide as mass transit (highest passenger number world-wide) Integrated with metro Octubre

10 Biofuels for Transport, Paraguay Project type: biofuel production and usage in transport Crop: non-edible, soil-regenerative crops 10 10

11 TED Nanchang, China Size: 200,000 persons affected TED measures include balanced land-use, development along transit stations, dense bus system, improved NMT, car restriction TED goals: less trips, shorter trips, environmentally friendly trips 11 11

12 E Diesel Bangalore, India Project type: Ethanol-diesel usage in bus fleets Fleet: 5,000 buses 12 12

13 Puente Mumbai, India Project type: infrastructure Size: 8 lanes, 22km, 20,000 vehicles per day 13 13

14 Electric vehicles, India Project type: low GHG vehicles Vehicles: 150,000 units per year 14 14

15 Freight on river isntead of road, Colombia Project type: freight mode shift 600,000 t freight on river instead of road over 500km distance 15 15

16 Current Status The transport is one of the main emisors of GHG throught the worls, and its size and volume keep it increasing, especially in the developing countries. The following ones are the methodologies so far approved by the EB. The methodologies for transport are complexes due to its approaches, data and assumptions required for the emision calculations. The genertion of the baseline scenario and the monitoring of the GHG coming from the transport projects are expensive. For instance, it is necessary to carry out studies about the fuel consumption, labour situation, encuestas, etc. The transport projects generate political risks and sometimes this political inestability produces a delay in their implementation or a cancellation of them, which necessary converts in lower GHG emission reductions

18 Transport and CDM The possible options for CDM transport projects are: o Metro, light trains, tramways, among others. BRT Bus Rapid Transit in integrated systems and independing operation. Reorganization of the public transport. Transport systems in ships or trains for passengers or freight. Cambio modal para transporte de carga, carretera a tren o carretera a barco. Incremento de la tasa de ocupación o factor de carga en buses o camiones. Reducción del consumo de combustible en flota vehicular, p.e. a través del mejoramiento o renovación de vehículo, entrenamiento de conductores (técnicas de manejo), mejoras en mantenimiento, entre otros. 18

19 MDL y Transporte Los posibles proyectos de transporte incluyen: Cambio modal de pasajeros de vehículo particular o taxi hacia transporte público o transporte no motorizado. Desarrollo de Transporte Orientado (Transit Oriented Development - TOD) a reducir viajes y distancias del viaje y para fomentar modos de transporte de la baja emisión. Sustitución de combustibles, p. e. diesel o gasolina a mezcla de biocombustibles. Inversiones en infraestructura, p.e. peajes, túneles, sistemas de manejo de tráfico, etc. Cambio de sistema, p.e. costo de uso de vías, manejo de espacios para parqueaderos, etc. Iniciativas en políticas e información orientada, p.e. impuestos a combustibles, etiquetación para vehículos, etc. Medidas para la reducción de emisiones en trayectos aéreos domésticos, p.e. mejoramiento de control del tráfico aéreo. octubre 08 19
