Simulating Transport CO2 Emission in Urban Beijing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the transport field, much attention is given to estimation and mitigation of CO2 emission. Much prior research has estimated CO2 emission using aggregate data on total energy consumed or average vehicles kilometres travelled (VKT), while not considering the influence on emission of factors that operate at a more resolved functional level, such as the neighbourhood-scale built environment (e.g. Dhakal, 2009; Cai et al., 2012). Very few studies have so far used disaggregate data to accurately estimate transport CO2 emission based on individuals’ daily urban travel, particularly for developing countries, possibly due to a lack of detailed travel data.

متن کاملSystem dynamics modeling for urban energy consumption and CO2 emissions: A case study of Beijing, China
It is clear that city must be part of the solution if an urbanizing world is to grapple successfully with ecological challenges such as energy depletion and climate change. A system dynamics model was developed in this study using STELLA platform to model the energy consumption and CO2 emission trends for the City of Beijing over 2005–2030. Results show that the total energy demand in Beijing i...
متن کاملCarbon Storage and Sequestration of Urban Street Trees in Beijing, China
Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from cities have significantly increased over the past several decades along with rapid urbanization. To what extent anthropogenic CO2 emissions generated from cities can be offset through conserving or increasing carbon (C) stored within urban areas themselves is a significant scientific question. The role of urban street trees in offsetting anthrop...
