Reduce transport CO2 emissions: impossible task? Gianni Silvestrini Scientific director of Kyoto Club
The Italian situation • CO2 increase 1990-2001: +19% • Air quality in towns: big problems with the concentration of small particulate (over EU limits) • Congestion and noise: strong impacts, particularly in cities of the center-south • Result: in 2001 33% of the drivers reduced the car use compared to the previous year (22% in 1995) • But something is/was changing
Actions • Technological: increase the car efficiency (voluntary agreement with car producers) • Fuels: increase the use of natural gas, lpg, biofuels • Increase the public transport share • Innovative solutions (car sharing, flexible transport..) • Demand side mobility management • Public opinion involvment (car free days…)
Specific carbon reductions of FIAT cars according to the voluntary agreement with the Ministry of Environment (CICLO NEDC) 180 178 171 166 161 CO2 ( g / km ) 155 145 136
Public transport recovers passengers • From 1981 to 1995 -30% • From 1995 to 2000 +6%
New actions for sustainable mobility • Car free sundays: 150 cities and 15 million people involved in the program promoted by the Ministry of environment, but… • Car sharing • Mobility management
