The Impact

The rapid urbanisation and economic growth has led to unprecedented increase in CO2 emissions, which led to a vital global issue due partly to the rise in demand from the transport sector. In the years ahead, the transport services demand is likely to increase further, which lead to intensification in CO2 emissions as well. The transportation sector in Malaysia contributes for about 28% of total CO2 emissions, of which 85% of it goes to road transportation mode. This has led to a great interest in how the CO2 emissions in this sector can effectively be reduced. Using a multiple regression model and datasets from 1990 to 2015, this study aimed to examine factors that influence the CO2 emissions in Malaysia. Key factors of CO2 emissions, i.e., fuel consumption (FC), distance travel (DT), fuel efficiency (FE), and fuel price (FP) were investigated for the road transport sector. The findings demonstrated that the impact of factors on CO2 emissions were varies in each technology vehicles. These findings not only contributes to enhancing the current literature, but also provide insights for policy maker in Malaysia to design policy instruments for road transport sector.

Production Of Hydrogen

Achieving the CO2 reduction targets for 2050 requires extensive measures being undertaken in all sectors. In contrast to energy generation, the transport sector has not yet been able to achieve a substantive reduction in CO2 emissions. Measures for the ever more pressing reduction in CO2 emissions from transportation include the increased use of electric vehicles powered by batteries or fuel cells. The use of fuel cells requires the production of hydrogen and the establishment of a corresponding hydrogen production system and associated infrastructure. Synthetic fuels made using carbon dioxide and sustainably-produced hydrogen can be used in the existing infrastructure and will reach the extant vehicle fleet in the medium term. All three options require a major expansion of the generation capacities for renewable electricity. Moreover, various options for road freight transport with light duty vehicles (LDVs) and heavy duty vehicles (HDVs) are analyzed and compared. In addition to efficiency throughout the entire value chain, well-to-wheel efficiency and also other aspects play an important role in this comparison. These include: (a) the possibility of large-scale energy storage in the sense of so-called ‘sector coupling’, which is offered only by hydrogen and synthetic energy sources; (b) the use of the existing fueling station infrastructure and the applicability of the new technology on the existing fleet; (c) fulfilling the power and range requirements of the long-distance road transport.

Abstract Sumaila, U. R., Teh, L., Watson, R., Tyedmers, P., and Pauly, D. 2008. Fuel price increase, subsidies, overcapacity, and resource sustainability. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 65: 832–840. Global fisheries are currently overcapitalized, resulting in overfishing in many of the world’s fisheries. Given that fuel constitutes a significant component of fishing costs, we expect recent increases in fuel prices to reduce overcapacity and overfishing. However, government fuel subsidies to the fishing sector reduce, if not completely negate, this positive aspect of increasing fuel costs. Here, we explore the theoretical basis for the expectation that the increasing fuel prices faced by fishing enterprises will reduce fishing pressure. Next, we estimate the amount of fuel subsidies to the fishing sector by governments globally to be in the range of US$4.2–8.5 billion per year. Hence, depending on how much of this subsidy existed before the recent fuel price increases, fishing enterprises, as a group, can absorb as much as this amount of increase in their fuel budget before any conservation benefits occur as a result of fuel price increases.

The Impact

This study investigates the impact of fuel price adjusment on changes in fuel consumption and inflation in Indonesia. This study uses secondary data obtained from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Trade, Bank Indonesia, the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), and PT Pertamina (Persero) from 2006 to 2016 and analyzed by using Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method. Research showed, if the government increases Premium Gasoline's price by 10%, in average its consumption would decrease around 2,99 %. However, if the Pertamax Gasoline's price increases, the consumption of Premium Gasoline would also increase due to substitution effect. Every 10% increase in Subsidized Diesel's price, in average its consumption would decrease around 4,80 % and vice versa. However, if the Pertamina dex's price increases, the consumption of Subsidized Diesel would also increase due to substitution effect. Moreover, IDR1.000/L increase in Premium Gasoline's Price would contribute 1,10 % to the inflation rate. On the other hand, increase in Subsidized Diesel's price does not contribute to the inflation rate.

Οι εκπομπές CO2 από την οδική κυκλοφορία έχουν ολοένα μεγαλύτερη σημασία στη συζήτηση για την κλιματική αλλαγή. Διάφορα μοντέλα και πρακτικές εφαρμόζονται σήμερα για την εκτίμηση της επίδρασης τεχνολογικών και πολιτικών επιλογών στην κατανάλωση καυσίμου επιβατικών οχημάτων και στην ενεργειακή αξιολόγηση συστημάτων μεταφοράς, ωστόσο, αυτά, είτε δεν διαθέτουν την απαιτούμενη ακρίβεια στο τελικό αποτέλεσμα, είτε χρειάζονται ένα επίπεδο λεπτομέρειας στις παραμέτρους εισόδου που απαγορεύει τις προσομοιώσεις σε μεγάλη κλίμακα ή/και τον συνδυασμό με άλλα μοντέλα ή λογισμικά, όπως μοντέλα προσομοίωσης κυκλοφορίας, μοντέλα υπολογισμού κόστους κ.α.. Υπό αυτό το πρίσμα, η παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή στοχεύει στο συνδυασμό προσεγγίσεων προσομοίωσης κατανάλωσης καυσίμου οχημάτων, όπως αυτά χρησιμοποιούνται σε αναλυτικά μοντέλα προσομοίωσης, με εμπειρικές σχέσεις που προκύπτουν από τον συνδυασμό και την ανάλυση δεδομένων μετρήσεων και άλλων διαθέσιμων δεδομένων, σε ένα ολοκληρωμένο, ευέλικτο και ακριβές εργαλείο, το οποίο επιτρέπει την αξιολόγηση της επίπτωσης σύγχρονων τεχνολογιών και πολιτικών επιλογών στην κατανάλωση καυσίμου επιβατικών οχημάτων. Το συγκεκριμένο εργαλείο χρησιμοποιείται κυρίως για την υποστήριξη και την εκτίμηση της επίπτωσης της μετάβασης από το μέχρι πρότινος ισχύον πρωτόκολλο μέτρησης το οποίο εφαρμόζεται στην έγκριση τύπου κατανάλωσης καυσίμου και εκπομπών CO2 επιβατικών οχημάτων στην Ευρώπη, το NEDC, στο νέο, το οποίο αναπτύχθηκε από τα Ηνωμένα Έθνη και ξεκίνησε να εφαρμόζεται στην ευρωπαϊκή νομοθεσία από το Σεπτέμβριο του 2017, το WLTP. Επιπλέον, το εργαλείο εφαρμόζεται για την εκτίμηση της επίπτωσης των αλλαγών της σχετικής νομοθεσίας οι οποίες αφορούν οχήματα χαμηλών εκπομπών (ηλεκτρικά, κ.α.), και, τέλος, για την αναπαραγωγή δεδομένων εκπομπών υπό πραγματικές συνθήκες οδήγησης, τα οποία συλλέχθησαν μέσω φορητών συστημάτων μέτρησης εκπομπών (PEMS).
