Mark Evers Transport for London Reducing CO 2 from Transport Action Today to Protect Tomorrow London’s Climate Change Action Plan

Approach to tackling climate change in London 6. Implementation: What do we need to do to make this happen? 5. Cost/benefit: At a high level, what would the actions cost and what will be the CO 2 benefits? 4. Quantified actions: How can London deliver these targets? 2. Future emissions: What will London’s emissions be under ‘business as usual’? 1. Baseline: London’s 1990 and 2006 CO 2 footprint 3. Targets: What reductions are needed for London to play its role in stabilising global temperatures?

CO 2 emissions from London 2006: 44m tonnes Industrial 7% Ground Based Transport 22% Domestic 38% Commercial and public sector 33% 2025: 51m tonnes ?

Required CO 2 reductions Carbon Dioxide Emissions (MtCO 2 ) Profile of national targets and aspirations (against 1990) Today 45.1m 44.3m 15% 20% 25% 30% 60% (vs 2000) Target for London = 60% 10 year target (2016) = 20% Proposed London reductions to achieve 450ppm stabilisation 600 million tonnes CO 2 to 2025

CO2 emissions from London’s transport sector Industrial Commercial Ground-based transport Domestic All sectors 44 million tonnes CO 2 11% Ground-based aviation Car & motorcycle Road freight Bus Taxi & PHVs Underground National Rail 4% Transport sector 100% = 10 million tonnes CO 2

Green Transport Programme Changing the way Londoners travel Operating vehicles more efficiently Promoting lower-carbon vehicles, infrastructure and fuels

Shifting demand to less harmful transport modes is critical Walking and cycling encouraged for short trips Improve public transport to promote shift from car Typical CO 2 emissions by mode Walking & Cycling Car Bus Rail Underground kg CO 2 / passenger km

Travel demand management is critical to reducing CO 2 emissions from cars SMARTER TRAVEL SUTTON How is it different? 1 TDM measures will be implemented together in the same place 2 Programme will be adequately funded (£5m over 3 years) 3 Performance will be measured before, during and after pilot

Eco-driving can reduce average vehicle emissions by up to 10% Applicable to cars and taxis, freight, buses and even trains Potential savings: –Smooth driving (5-10% saving) –Correct tyre pressures (2-4% saving) –Regular servicing (4% saving) –Obeying the speed limit (up to 25%) TfL will be supporting national initiatives with local campaigns

World’s first double-decker hybrid now operating on Route 141

The Underground is London’s largest user of electricity Physical Assets Operational Change Energy Procurement Speed vs energy consumption, smooth driving Renewables “additionality” is key Regenerative braking, low resistance conductor rail, trains Reduce need to cool, CHP? Tube Cooling UNDERGROUND
