Cumulative CO2 Emissions of International Transport
Cumulative CO2 Emissions of International Transport, 2022
The dataset of global cumulative CO2 emissions is from 1750. The baseline of this dataset is 1749. The dataset includes also international transport cumulative CO2 emissions from 1950. The baseline of international transport is 1949. This work considers the year 1783, when the first steamship was built, as the first year of the international transport CO2 emissions. In this work, the global cumulative CO2 emissions including international transport are converted to the 1875 baseline, similar to the Global Warming baseline (1850-1900). The international transport cumulative CO2 emissions caused a 0.032°C temperature increase in 2020, 2.5% of the Global Warming.
Criteria for Estimating Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Transport
Works of Georgian Technical University, 2021
At the present stage, economic research on climate change and its main problem requires in-depth scientific study and analysis of various factors. An important source of air pollution is the energy sector, especially solid and liquid fuels used for technological purposes in thermal power plants. In Georgia, 1/5 of the total electricity generated is produced in thermal power plants. The article analyses Greenhouse gas emissions in Georgia by sectors and sub-sectors as well the criteria for estimating fuel combustion, such as net calorific value of fuel and carbon content standard indicators. The formula for calculation of CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions from the transport vehicles is developed in this work.
Estimation of Carbon Dioxide from Transportation Sector Based on Urban Data Availability
Current World Environment
One source of potential carbon dioxides in most developing countries is the transportation sector. The calculation of carbon dioxides is therefore, important as a part of policy making on carbon management in the region. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) calculation method which were often used require large and complete data. This is a problematic for developing countries due to the availability of data are not in accordance or sufficient with the IPCC method. This study examined the alternative calculation methods that are tailored to the available data in most developing countries. Two alternative methods are proposed for calculating carbon dioxide emissions; the first method is based on data of the number and types of vehicles, and the second method is based on the data and the length of the road class. The results show that both alternative methods are reliable to estimate specific emission factor (SEF) and emission estimates that are close to the IPCC calcul...
This paper aims to examine the evolution of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transportation sector in megacities and their countries of origin, to discuss the effectiveness of the International Climate Change Regime (ICCR). It starts by analyzing national communications from 17 countries of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and 5 national inventories, where the 31 megacities of the study are located. One can conclude that the ICCR has influence on the adoption of policies and domestic GHG mitigation actions in 14 of the countries and they have proven effective in 3 of them – Japan, France and the United States – from 2000 to 2011. Regarding the megacities, 18 of them reported GHG mitigation policies for the transportation sector and 10 of them have goals to reduce GHG in the coming years. Concerning the distribution of the countries within the categories listed in the Kyoto Protocol, it is relevant to the Conferences of the Parties (COPs) to address the discussion on the current validity of the initial division that was made among the members of this Protocol, in view of the results that have been submitted by countries in relation to GHG emission reductions. The use of more efficient and available technologies to reduce emissions in the transportation sector could be faster implemented in these countries, in line with other policies of mitigation and actions adopted by the national and local authorities and citizens.

CO emissions from urban traffic are a major concern in an era of increasing ecological disequilibrium. Adding to the problem net CO emissions in urban settings are worsened due to the decline of bio-productive areas in many cities. This decline exacerbates the lack of capacity to sequestrate CO at the micro and meso-scales resulting in increased temperatures and decreased air quality within city boundaries. Various transportation and environmental strategies have been implemented to address traffic related CO emissions, however current literature identifies difficulties in pinpointing these critical areas of maximal net emissions in urban transport networks. This study attempts to close this gap in the literature by creating a new lay-person friendly index that combines CO emissions from vehicles and the bio-capacity of specific traffic zones to identify these areas at the meso-scale within four ranges of values with the lowest index values representing the highest net CO levels.
