| Abstract: | This study presents
emissions of different pollutants from transport sector in Delhi. Results show that emissions of pollutants
have increased during 2001-2009 as follows: CO2, 4395-6423; CH4, 1.03-3.32;
N2O, 0.04-0.05; CO, 238-329; NOx, 44-64; and NMVOC, 44-60 Gg. However, CO2
emissions per unit of vehicle types for gasoline driven vehicles show a
decrease as follows: two wheelers, 2.7; and cars, 4.3%; while in case of diesel
driven vehicles, this reduction is 1.6%, indicating impact of
better vehicle technologies
introduced. However, CO2 emissions from per unit of CNG vehicles have been
found to increase by
2.4% during this period due
to increased consumption of CNG per unit of CNG vehicles. |
