Quantifying the Transition to Low-carbon Cities

Mohareb, Eugene 30 August 2012 (has links)
Global cities have recognized the need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and have begun to take action to balance of the carbon cycle. This thesis examines the nuances of quantification methods used and the implications of current policy for long-term emissions. Emissions from waste management, though relatively small when compared with building and transportation sectors, are the largest source of emissions directly controlled by municipal government. It is important that municipalities understand the implications of methodological selection when quantifying GHG emissions from waste management practices. The “Waste-in-Place” methodology is presented as the most relevant for inventorying purposes, while the “Methane Commitment” approach is best used for planning. Carbon sinks, divided into “Direct” and “Embodied”, are quantified using the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) as a case study. “Direct” sinks, those whose sequestration processes occur within urban boundaries, contribute the largest share of carbon sinks with regional forests providing a significant proportion. “Embodied” sinks, those whose sequestration processes (or in the case of concrete, the processes that enable sequestration) are independent of the urban boundary, can contribute to the urban carbon pool, but greater uncertainty exists in upstream emissions as the management/processing prior to its use as a sink are generally beyond the consumer’s purview. The Pathways to Urban Reductions in Greenhouse gas Emissions (or PURGE) model is developed as a means to explore emissions scenarios resulting from urban policy to mitigate climate change by quantifying future carbon sources/sinks (from changes in building stock, vehicle stock, waste treatment and urban/regional forests). The model suggests that current policy decisions in the GTA provide short-term reductions but are not sufficient in the long term to balance the pressures of economic and population growth. Aggressive reductions in energy demand from personal transportation and existing building stock will be necessary to achieve long-term emissions targets.

Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo geral analisar as contribuições das principais políticas públicas urbanas governamentais existentes na esfera Nacional, Estadual e Municipal para a sustentabilidade urbana da cidade de Campina Grande-PB, a partir do modelo proposto por Martins (2012). Em termos metodológicos, a pesquisa realizada foi do tipo exploratória, descritiva de abordagem qualitativa, conduzida sob a forma de um estudo de caso, com visitas de campo e aplicação de questionários semiestruturados aos representantes do poder público de Campina Grande-PB. A análise dos dados levou-se em consideração a triangulação metodológica: análise de dados primários, dados secundários e observação não participante direta. Os principais resultados da pesquisa apontaram que o poder público municipal da cidade de Campina Grande-PB, tem desenvolvido e implementado políticas, planos, programas e projetos que reduzem omissões ou lacunas entre as políticas públicas urbanas governamentais e a sustentabilidade urbana da cidade. Todavia, existem inconsistências entre à existência de políticas públicas e sua efetiva execução, cabendo ao poder público municipal da cidade direcionar melhor atenção e execução das políticas públicas para os temas que receberam classificação insustentável e potencialmente insustentável em relação a sustentabilidade urbana. Assim, a pesquisa forneceu um conjunto de informações fundamentais para a formulação e implementação de investimentos, projetos e políticas públicas voltados ao desenvolvimento urbano sustentável da cidade, à medida que, a ausência de políticas públicas podem influenciar no desenvolvimento urbano em bases insustentáveis. / Public policies aimed at urban development are inseparable from the guidelines for the construction and consolidation of sustainable practices in cities. In this context, the main objective of this study was to analyze the contributions of the main urban public policies existing at the National, State and Municipal levels for the urban sustainability of the city of Campina Grande-PB, based on the model proposed by Martins (2012). In methodological terms, the research was exploratory, descriptive of a qualitative approach, conducted in the form of a case study, with field visits and application of semi-structured questionnaires to representatives of the public authority of Campina Grande-PB. Data analysis took into account the methodological triangulation: analysis of primary data, secondary data and direct non-participant observation. The main results of the research indicate that the municipal public power of the city of Campina Grande-PB has developed and implemented policies, plans, programs and projects that reduce omissions or gaps between urban public policies and the city's urban sustainability. However, there are inconsistencies between the existence of public policies and their effective execution, and it is up to the municipal public power of the city to direct better attention and execution of public policies to the subjects that have received unsustainable and potentially unsustainable classification in relation to urban sustainability. Thus, the research provided a set of fundamental information for the formulation and implementation of investments, projects and public policies aimed at sustainable urban development of the city, as the absence of public policies can influence urban development on unsustainable bases

Fatores que condicionam a formação de ambientes urbanos inovadores em cidades sustentáveis / Conditioning factors for innovative urban environments in sustainable cities

Bichueti, Roberto Schoproni 08 March 2016 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Cities are at the heart of the debate on sustainable development. The urbanization over recent decades has brought with it many challenges around the urban sustainability. The cleaner energy generation, proper disposal of solid waste, urban mobility and the availability of green areas are some of goals in different agendas of sustainable cities. In this context, the adoption of management practices for sustainable urban development is able to produce urban conditions that may be mentioned: raising the quality of life and well-being of the population, reduction of environmental impacts and the adoption of a healthy lifestyle in the cities. This distinctive urban environment is able to provide, among other things, attracting qualified people, most social interaction between them and the attraction of investments. Several authors suggest that these factors, among others, may be associated with the generation of positive externalities that promote economic development and increase the ability to produce innovation. A qualified urban environment that values diversity, fosters creativity and enables the knowledge sharing can be considered suitable for the increased creativity and innovation. In this sense, the study aims at analyzing the importance of management practices for sustainable urban development to promote favorable urban conditions to the formation of innovative urban environments in sustainable cities. For this, a qualitative and exploratory research, through a case study was carried out. The case of Curitiba city has been studied, in view of its representativeness in urban sustainability, which enabled the analysis of the phenomenon in a context that allowed the achievement of the objectives. It was possible to know the city's characteristics and the key management practices for sustainable urban development conducted in Curitiba. Above all, it could be noted urban conditions, as a result of these practices, capable of favoring the creation of an innovative urban environment, among which are: (1) social integration and articulation between the actors; (2) Attraction of qualified companies; (3) adequate mobility and urban infrastructure; (4) attracting and retaining talented / skilled human capital; (5) high quality of life; (6) active cultural scene. Thus, as a sustainable city, Curitiba was demonstrated an urban environment that promotes such conditions, which create positive externalities that favor the increase in innovative capacity in their territory. We can see, yet, a closer association of these conditions with the activities related to the service sector, such as the creative economy. We can see, yet, a closer association of these conditions with the activities related to the service sector, such as the creative economy. The research presents evidences to confirm the theoretical presupposition of the study, namely: management practices for sustainable urban development are able to provide conditions for the formation of innovative urban environments in sustainable cities. / As cidades estão no centro do debate em busca do desenvolvimento sustentável. A acelerada urbanização ocorrida nas últimas décadas trouxe consigo diversos desafios em torno da sustentabilidade urbana. A geração de energia mais limpa, a destinação adequada dos resíduos sólidos, a adequada mobilidade urbana e a disponibilidade de áreas verdes são alguns dos objetivos presentes nas diversas agendas das cidades sustentáveis. Nesse contexto, a adoção de práticas de gestão para o desenvolvimento urbano sustentável é capaz de produzir determinadas condições urbanas, entre as quais, podem ser citadas: a elevação da qualidade de vida e do bem-estar da população, a redução dos impactos ambientais e possibilidade de adoção de um estilo de vida saudável nas cidades. Este ambiente urbano diferenciado é capaz de proporcionar, entre outros aspectos, a atração de pessoas qualificadas, a maior interação social entre elas e a atração de investimentos. Diversos autores sugerem que esses fatores, entre outros, podem estar associados à geração de externalidades positivas, capazes de promover o desenvolvimento econômico e o aumento da capacidade de produzir inovações. Um ambiente urbano qualificado, que valorize a diversidade, favoreça a criatividade e possibilite a troca de conhecimentos pode ser considerado propício para o aumento da criatividade e da inovação. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo tem o objetivo de analisar a importância das práticas de gestão para o desenvolvimento urbano sustentável na criação de condições urbanas favoráveis à formação de ambientes urbanos inovadores em cidades sustentáveis. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa e exploratória, operacionalizada por meio de um estudo de caso. Foi estudado, em profundidade, o caso da cidade de Curitiba, tendo em vista sua representatividade no que se refere à sustentabilidade urbana, o que possibilitou a análise do fenômeno em um contexto que permitiu o alcance dos objetivos estipulados. Foi possível conhecer as características do município e as principais práticas de gestão para o desenvolvimento urbano sustentável desenvolvidas em Curitiba. Sobretudo, puderam-se evidenciar condições urbanas resultantes dessas práticas, capazes de favorecer a criação de um ambiente urbano inovador, entre as quais, destacam-se: (1) integração social e articulação entre os atores; (2) atração de empresas qualificadas; (3) adequada mobilidade e infraestrutura urbana; (4) atração e retenção de talentos/capital humano qualificado; (5) elevada qualidade de vida; e (6) cenário cultural ativo. Desse modo, em se tratando de uma cidade sustentável, Curitiba mostrou-se um ambiente urbano capaz de promover tais condições, as quais criam externalidades positivas que favorecem o aumento da capacidade inovativa em seu território. Percebe-se, ainda, uma associação mais estreita dessas condições com as atividades associadas ao setor de serviços, a exemplo da economia criativa. A pesquisa apresenta evidências, portanto, para a confirmação do pressuposto teórico do estudo, qual seja: as práticas de gestão para o desenvolvimento urbano sustentável são capazes de proporcionar condições para a formação de ambientes urbanos inovadores em cidades sustentáveis.

Desenvolvimento de um índice para a avaliação da ciclabilidade na cidade de Aracaju

Andrade, José Waldson Costa de 27 February 2018 (has links)
The challenges of urban mobility demand a new way of thinking and of managing the displacement of goods and people in Brazilian cities. Bicycles as a means of transportation become then an important tool for urban sustainability and allow for a good rapport between citizens and the urban space. This research aims to come up with a Cyclability Index through the use of Socio-environmental Indicators. Cyclability sets out to elaborate on tools that analyze the acceptance of bicycles in cities as an efficient means of transportation and how much they should considered positive by society as a whole and the public administration. Thus, the main goal of this research was to come up with a cyclability index in the city of Aracaju focusing on use of bicycles as a means of transportation; alongside, the specific goals seek to identify the weaknesses and the potential of bicycle motivated urban mobility; analyze, through socio-environmental indicators, the technical, institutional, environmental, structural, political and cultural conditions of bicycle use and present possible policies to enhance these conditions. The adopted methodology chooses five categories composed of 13 indicators, that through data collection in four different research zones, presents results which match this essay`s goals. The Cyclability Index of Aracaju, it was found, scored 1.13, which means it is on critical level and that bicycle use conditions are poor in the city. For this reason, short-term responses are needed to address the issue. This research drew the conclusion that the public administration should as soon as possible propose intervention measures and governance policies to plan and overhaul the city`s cycle lanes regarding their environmental, infrastructural and security aspects. / Os desafios da mobilidade urbana exigem uma nova forma de pensar e gerir os deslocamentos de pessoas e mercadorias nas cidades brasileiras. A uso da bicicleta como transporte configura-se como uma ferramenta importante para a sustentabilidade urbana e propicia uma melhor relação entre o cidadão e os espaços urbanos. A motivação para realização deste estudo se dá pelo estabelecimento de um Índice de Ciclabilidade com o uso de Indicadores Socioambientais. A ciclabilidade busca estabelecer instrumentos de análise sobre a aceitação da bicicleta na cidade como um transporte eficiente e o quanto ela pode e deve ser vista de forma positiva pela sociedade e pela gestão pública. Para isso, o objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi estabelecer um índice de ciclabilidade na cidade de Aracaju com foco no uso da bicicleta como meio de transporte, além de objetivos específicos que buscou identificar fragilidades e potencialidades da mobilidade urbana por bicicleta; Analisar, com o uso de indicadores socioambientais, as condições técnicas, institucionais, ambientais, estruturais, políticas e culturais do uso da bicicleta e apresentar possíveis alternativas de ação e políticas públicas para a melhoria deste modal. A metodologia utilizada parte da seleção de 5 categorias com 13 indicadores, que por meio da coleta de dados em 4 áreas de pesquisa apresentam resultados compatíveis com o objetivo da pesquisa. Constatou-se que o Índice de Ciclabilidade de Aracaju possui uma pontuação de 1,31. Pontuação considerada crítica, isto é, nas ciclovias analisadas na cidade de Aracaju, pode-se afirmar que as condições para o uso da bicicleta são ruins. Portanto, julga-se necessário a realização de ações a curto prazo. Conclui-se que é urgente a proposição intervenções na esfera da gestão pública e de governança capazes de planejar e executar melhorias nas estruturas cicloviárias referente aos aspectos ambientais, de infraestrutura física, sinalização e de segurança pública e viária. / São Cristóvão, SE

Circular Economy in Cities: A Strategic Approach Towards a Sustainable Society?

Lindner, Patrick, Mooij, Cynthia, Rogers, Heather January 2017 (has links)
Increasing environmental and social pressure caused by human activity requires action toward a sustainable society. As our population grows and the proportion living in urban areas increases, cities are in a unique position to affect change. This has led to Circular Economy (CE) gaining momentum in municipalities as a tool for their city. Despite this momentum, there is lack of clarity about what CE is, how it can be most effectively implemented, and its relationship to strategic sustainable development (SSD). This research synthesized definitions of CE used in the field and investigated 21 cities worldwide to see how their municipalities have implemented CE practices. Using the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development (FSSD), the implemented actions were critically examined for their strategic contribution toward a sustainable society. The findings suggest that CE is defined broadly, and interpreted differently by different users. In some cases, this presents challenges for its strategic use. The CE actions examined are concluded to be within the boundaries of a sustainable society, as defined by the FSSD. Their strategic approach is determined to be largely positive, with some exceptions. Depending on its application, CE is concluded to be a useful, albeit insufficient, tool for municipalities working toward SSD.

(RES)SIGNIFICANDO O DIREITO À CIDADE SUSTENTÁVEL: OS GRAFISMOS URBANOS COMO PARTE INTEGRANTE DO PATRIMÔNIO CULTURAL BRASILEIRO / (RE)MEANING THE RIGHT TO SUSTAINABLE CITY: THE URBAN GRAPHICS AS PART OF BRAZILIAN CULTURAL HERITAGE

Menezes, Cristiane Penning Pauli de 04 November 2016 (has links)
The purpose of this study, from a systemic-complex analysis, it was tranlate in what manner the urban graphics can be analyzed from the bias of the cultural manifestation, thus making part of Brazil's cultural heritage, thus creating a legitimate way to search for access sustainable city. Therefore, the work remains divided into three chapters. The first analyzed the evolution of the concept of cultural heritage in Brazil, analyzing the possibility of expanding its role to include various cultural events, like the urban graphics, passing by a critical lack of focused cultural policies for urban artwork. In the second chapter we sought, dialectically, analyze urban typefaces from the perspective of the anthropological and legal concept of culture and the Environmental Crimes Act, to finally bring the existing dialectics in taggers speech, graffiti artists and society, from the reading of the documentary Pixo and the documentary PixoAção. Finally, in the third chapter, we sought to examine the right concept to the city in line to the faceteds concept of sustainability and the reality of the city of Santa Maria, RS. / O presente estudo objetiva, a partir de uma análise sistêmico-complexa, descortinar em que medida os grafismos urbanos podem ser analisados a partir do viés da manifestação cultural, fazendo parte assim do patrimônio cultural brasileiro, configurando uma forma legítima de busca pelo acesso à cidade sustentável. Para tanto, o trabalho restou dividido em três capítulos. No primeiro, analisou-se a evolução do conceito de Patrimônio Cultural no Brasil, analisando a possibilidade de ampliação de seu rol, para permitir a inclusão de manifestações culturais diversas, a exemplo dos grafismos urbanos, perpassando por uma crítica à falta de políticas culturais voltadas para os grafismos urbanos, com objetivo de democratização da cultura. No segundo capítulo, buscou-se, de forma dialética, analisar os grafismos urbanos a partir da ótica do conceito antropológico e jurídico de cultura e da Lei de Crimes Ambientais, para por fim, trazer as nuances existentes no discurso de pichadores, grafiteiros e da sociedade. Tal pesquisa foi possível com a análise do documentário Pixo e do documentário PixoAção. Por derradeiro, no terceiro capítulo, buscou-se analisar o Conceito de Direito à cidade em consonância ao conceito multifacetado de sustentabilidade, trazendo à baila, por meio de um levantamento fotográfico, a realidade da cidade de Santa Maria, RS.

A urbanização acelerada, o crescimento populacional, as mudanças demográficas e a escassez de recursos naturais e mudanças climáticas continuarão a desafiar as cidades pelo mundo. O desenvolvimento urbano sustentável é uma prioridade global e se faz necessário. No entanto, a maioria das cidades carece da capacidade e de recursos para garantir o desenvolvimento de maneira sustentável. Mobilidade é um dos tópicos mais difíceis de serem solucionados nas grandes áreas urbanas, envolvendo questões de políticas públicas econômicas e socioambientais e dependendo da tecnologia e comportamento da população. Aquelas cidades que decidiram realizar movimentos ousados no avanço e na diversificação nos sistemas de transporte urbano por meio de um plano de mobilidade sustentável poderão aprimorar a atratividade, a produtividade a e qualidade de vida dos cidadãos. As grandes metrópoles brasileiras devem se atentar às iniciativas de mobilidade urbana sustentáveis a fim e atender as tendências de urbanização acelerada e das mudanças demográficas que ocorrerão no Brasil nas próximas décadas e de maneira exponencial. Nesse contexto, este trabalho busca responder à seguinte questão: de que forma o plano de mobilidade de São Paulo incorpora princípios de mobilidade urbana sustentável? Tal análise é realizada tomando-se como base (i) a proposta de Subirats et al. (2008) para elementos constitutivos de uma política pública e (ii) no modelo de Machado e Piccinini (2018) relacionado aos princípios dos planos de mobilidade urbana sustentável, comparando a incorporação de tais princípios nos planos de mobilidade urbana de Barcelona e Londres. Como resultados dessa análise, o Plano de Mobilidade de São Paulo é considerado avançado e equiparado na sua qualidade na estrutura de princípios e elementos de mobilidade urbana sustentável, quando comparamos com planos de mobilidade urbana de referência internacional. Entretanto, os resultados também apontam a necessidade de evoluir em temas ainda não contemplados no referido plano e que vêm ganhando notoriedade em outros países. / Cities and their policy makers face great pressure to address the current challenges of urban mobility. Rapid urbanization, population growth, demographic shifts and the scarcity of natural resources and climate change will continue to challenge cities around the world. Sustainable urban development is a global priority and is necessary. However most cities lack the capacity and resources to ensure development in a sustainable manner. Mobility is one of the most difficult issues to solve in large urban areas, involving public economic and socioenvironmental policy issues and depending on the technology and behavior of the population. Those cities that have decided to make daring moves to advance and diversify urban transport systems through a sustainable mobility plan can improve the attractiveness, productivity and quality of life of citizens. The great Brazilian metropolises must pay attention to the sustainable urban mobility initiatives in order to meet the trends of accelerated urbanization and the demographic changes that will occur in Brazil in the coming decades an in an exponential way. In this context, this paper seeks to answer the following question: How does São Paulo's mobility plan incorporate sustainable urban mobility principles? his analysis is carried out based on (i) the proposal of Subirats et al. (2008) for the constituent elements of a public policy and (ii) the Machado and Piccinini model (2018) related to the principles of sustainable urban mobility plans, comparing incorporation of such principles into the urban mobility plans of Barcelona and London. As a result of this analysis, the São Paulo Mobility Plan is considered to be advanced and equated in its quality in the structure of principles and elements of Sustainable Urban Mobility, when compared as urban mobility plans of international reference. However, the results also point to the need to evolve in themes not yet contemplated in the aforementioned plan and that have been gaining notoriety in other countries.

Designing Future Cities through a Living Labs Approach : Case-Study of the Väsby Labs / Designing Future Cities through a Living Labs Approach : Case-Study of the Väsby Labs

Isabel, Santos January 2013 (has links)
Title - Designing Future Sustainable Cities through a Living Labs Approach – A Case study of “Väsby Labs” Purpose - The purpose of this study is to analyze the contributions of the Living Labs research and innovation methodology to the planning process of designing future sustainable cities as well as its main shortcomings. Additionally, this study intends to provide possible solutions to improve the model in the future. The Living Labs model focuses on creating platforms for communication, innovation and long term development by inviting different stakeholders to an open planning process before public places are defined, houses built and schools developed. Interaction between developers, inhabitants, social services, and political and financial systems is the key element of this model. Research questions - What are the main contributions of the Living Labs Model to the process of designing future sustainable cities and which are its main limitations? How can these limitations be addressed to improve the process in the future? Methodology - Qualitative research consisting of a literature review and an empirical case study based on semi-structured interviews with key individuals as well as secondary data gathered from the web and from participating in workshops and exhibitions in the project’s site. Research limitations/implications – Due to time limitations this study is a mere analysis of a project being developed on a Swedish municipality and does not contemplate its final results, only the ones reached on the date of the current study. The language is also a limitation, due to some of the literature related to the case study, and the conferences and workshops being in Swedish. Originality/Value - This study is the first attempt to analyze the contribution of a methodology such as the Living Labs to the planning process of designing future sustainable cities.

Stockholm som elbilsstad 2030 / Stockholm 2030 - A  City of Electric Cars

Bernhardsson, Fredrik, Grill, Peter January 2011 (has links)
I Sverige används det idag cirka 5,4% förnybara drivmedel inom transportsektorn, att jämföra med under 0,5% år 2000. Av de ickefossila drivmedlen är el något som ofta benämns som en permanent och realistisk framtida lösning. Visionen ”Stockholm – Elbilsstad 2030” drivs av Stockholms Stad i samarbete med Fortum AB i syfte att ersätta den fossilbränsleslukande fordonsflottan. I den här studien undersöks de tekniska förutsättningarna och de eventuella vinsterna av ett storskaligt införande av elbilar. Studien har gjorts genom en modellering där parametrar som elbilens prestanda, elpris, bilens inköpspris och totala utsläpp använts. Resultatet skall presentera ett mikro- och ett makroresultat. Vinsterna beräknas dels för den enskilde individen, men också för samhället i stort. Vinsterna beräknas med en känslighetsanalys baserad på reella framtida scenarier. Resultaten visar tydligt att för den genomsnittlige Stockholmaren är elbilen det mest ekonomiskt lönsamma valet på sikt. På tio års sikt beräknas bensinbilen kosta individen 65,93% mer än elbilen om bensinpriset fortsätter med samma utveckling. En känslighetsanalys visar att även om bensinpriset skulle sjunka med 5% årligen in i framtiden skulle bensinbilen ändå vara 31,3% dyrare på tio års sikt. Resultaten visar också att samhällets kostnader för bilflottans utsläpp förväntas sjunka med 98% eller 92% beroende på om den svenska elproduktionen är tillräcklig eller om man måste importera el från övriga Norden. Samtidigt som kostnaderna för utsläppen sjunker för samhället, sjunker även skatteintäkterna till följd av minskad bensinanvändning. Om elpriset på sikt skulle stiga till följd av en ökad användning skulle detta dock kunna leda till att förlusten reduceras. Klart är att storskaligt införande av elbilar kräver ett engagemang från staten där den ekonomiska förlusten får ses som en investering i miljön och framtiden. / In Sweden there are currently about 5.4% renewable fuel vehicles within the transport sector, compared to less than 0.5% in 2000. Amongst the non-fossil fuel alternatives electricity is something which has often been referred to as a permanent and realistic future solution. The vision “Stockholm – A City of Electric Cars in 2030" is run by the City of Stockholm in cooperation with Fortum AB in order to replace the fossil-fuel-guzzling fleet. This report examines the technical conditions and possible gains of a large scale introduction of electric cars. The study was conducted through a modelling in which parameters such as electric car performance, tariff and total emissions are used. The conclusion will reveal a micro- and macro result. Economic gains are calculated both for the individual, but also for society at large. The profits are calculated by a sensitivity analysis based on realistic future scenarios. The results clearly show that for the average Stockholm resident, the electric car is the most economical choice. In ten years time the gasoline car is expected to cost the individual 65.93% more than the electrical car based on that the price of gasoline continues its current growth. A sensitivity analysis shows that even if gasoline prices were to drop by 5% annually into the future, gasoline car would still be 31.3% more expensive than the electric car in ten years time. The results also show that the societal costs of the car fleet’s emissions are expected to fall by 98% or 92% depending on whether the Swedish electricity production is sufficient, or whether imported electricity from other Nordic countries is necessary. While the cost of emissions decreases for the society, so are tax revenues due to reduced gasoline use. However, if the electricity price in the long run would rise due to increased use, this could however lead to a reduction of the loss. It is clear that for a large-scale introduction of electric cars to be successful it requires a committed government which will have to see the economic loss as a means to investment in the future and the environment.
