| Abstract [eng] |
In most populated country like India, the need for public and private transportation is much more essential as it one of the crucial sectors that helps in the economic growth. On the other hand, it is responsible for emitting greenhouse gases and causes serious air and noise pollutions. This is due to the lack of sustainable principles and activities in the transportation sector. Hence there is a need for sustainability in the transportation sector, and it is very much essential, and the strive for achieving it should be a continuous activity. In this paper, various green transportation projects (GTP) undertaken for reducing the emissions in India’s transport sector were studied. A total of 9 projects were initiated under the clean development mechanism (CDM), contributing to the 760504.69 t CO2 baseline emission reduction, and causing around 275799.2 t CO2 project emissions. However, from these 9 GTP’s 501952.7 t CO2 emissions were reduced. Average values of baseline emission, project emission, and emission reduction from 9 GTP’s were estimated to be around 84500.52 t CO2, 30644.36 t CO2, and 55772.52 t CO2 respectively. |
