Tackling CO2 Emissions in Italy: Strategies for Sustainable Transport

The challenge of reducing CO2 emissions in Italy's transportation sector is complex but not insurmountable. From 1990 to 2001, Italy witnessed a 19% increase in CO2 emissions. Factors such as poor air quality, congestion, and noise pollution, particularly in central-southern cities, highlight the urgency of action. While initiatives like car efficiency improvements and increased public transport participation are underway, there is still room for growth. Programs promoting sustainable transport, such as car-sharing and car-free days, aim to engage public opinion and enhance mobility management.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Reduce transport CO2 emissions: impossible task? Gianni Silvestrini Scientific director of Kyoto Club

  2. 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

  3. 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…)

  4. 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

  5. Public transport recovers passengers • From 1981 to 1995 -30% • From 1995 to 2000 +6%

  6. Biodiesel sales in Italy

  7. 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

  8. Deplacements in large italian toiwns in 2000 and 2001
