Developing Integrated Emission Strategies for Existing Land Transport (DIESEL)
Background All Asian cities are experiencing serious PM pollution, including Bangkok. The CAI-Asia conducted the ‘DIESEL Pilot in Bangkok’ • The ultimate goals of the project are: • To gain a better understanding of factors affecting in-use diesel vehicle emissions. • To assess alternative mitigation options to assist decision making in developing countries.
Organization Structure Advisory Operational • Local Steering • Committee • Chair • Representative from:PCD, DLT, BMTA, BMA, DEB, DFE, PTT, OEPP, Operators, Universities • Project Management Team • Manager (PCD) • Coordinator • Technical Advisor • Assistant Bangkok • Advisory Committee • AQM specialist • Transport policy sp. • Development sp. • Vehicle technology sp. • Fuel sp. • CAI-Asia: Sub-committee • Funding partners • Two Regional Reps. International
On-going Project Components Component 2 Component 1 Component 3 Bangkok Emission Database Development Diesel Pollution Reduction Options Development Diesel Pollution Reduction Strategies Development Dissemination throughCAI-Asia network Retrofit & Re-engine Alternative Fuel I/M Program Transport Management
On-going Activities • Emission Testing • Develop Bangkok Diesel Vehicle Emission Factors • Total 195 vehicles (progress 50% - 109 vehicles)
On-going Activities • Bangkok Pilot Projects (under 4 selected diesel pollution reduction options) • Bangkok Diesel Retrofit Demonstration Project • Study status of Imported Second-hand Engine Market in Bangkok • Promoting the use of preventive maintenance practice in joint BMTA private bus project • Study of Emission from using Biodiesel in Chiang Mai
On-going Activities • Simple cost-benefit Tool for decision makers (IDEAS)
Discussions (1) • How can the pilot project contribute to better cooperation and coordination with the CAI-Asia Secretariat and the CAI-Asia local networks? • Information transfer from pilot project to CAI-Asia Secretariat • Dissemination of finding through CAI-Asia network i.e. website, BAQ,… • Using of existing material/experience from previous projects in other cities through CAI-Asia network
Discussions (2) • What is the relevance of the pilot project for local CAI-Asia networks? • Information Sharing/Exchanging • Capacity Building • Technology upgrade
