Technical Guidelines for the Coordinated Control of Air Pollutants and Greenhouse Gases in Urban Transportation (Version 2.0)
Technical Guidelines for the Coordinated Control of Air Pollutants and Greenhouse Gases in Urban Transportation (Version 2.0)
In March 2021, China Sustainable Transportation Center (CSTC) completed this report with support from Energy Foundation China, as a follow-up to the 1.0 version of the report published in 2019, which summarized feasible methods and tools for the co-control of air pollutant and GHG emissions in the urban transport sector.
Responding to policy signals from China’s 14th Five-Year Plan and on-the-ground feedbacks from pilot cities, the new report emphasizes more on multi-sectoral and multi-regional co-control work, and adds new content about new technologies and business models in the transport sector, including big data and artificial intelligence technology, zero-carbon emission taxis and car-hailing services, and the possible participation of the sector in the carbon market.
Compared to the previous report, this 2.0 version is updated to help Chinese cities achieve 14th Five-Year Plan targets and meet local demand of air quality improvement and carbon mitigation, which will help shape a decarbonized urban transportation future for China.
