1 1 Transportation, Air Pollution, Climate The Road Ahead in Asia August 19, 2014 Michael P. Walsh International Consultant Founding Chairman Board of Directors, Board of Directors, International Council on Clean Transportation

2 Air Pollution Is Already Reaching Crisis Levels Across Asia Especially PM 2.5 And O 3 Lelieveld, J., and F. J. Dentener (2000) 模拟 O 3 浓度分布 Van Donkelaar et al. (2010) 卫星反演 PM 2.5 浓度分布 PM 2.5 O3O3 2

4 Ambient PM 2.5 Now Among The Leading Global Risks For Mortality And Lost Years Of Healthy Life In 2010 Contributes to 3.2 million premature deaths worldwide

5 Costs of Air Pollution: Health Impacts of Road Transport Cost to Advanced Economies Plus China and India = $3.5 Trillion per Year –OECD ~ $1.7 Trillion –China ~ $1.4 Trillion –India ~ $0.5 Trillion In OECD Countries ~ Half From Road Transport Source: OECD Secretary General Gurria,, May 21, 2014

9 Vehicle Pollution is an Increasingly Important Challenge

10 Historical High Growth Has Offset Many Improvements Vehicles Remain Important Contributor To Local, Regional and Global Pollution

16 BC: Linking Climate and Air Pollution Black Carbon (BC) is part of the air pollution mixture known as particulate matter (PM) – Most strongly light-absorbing component of PM – Formed by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuels, and biomass, and is a major component of “soot” – Mainly found in the fine particle (PM 2.5 ) fraction, which is most strongly linked to adverse health effects 16

17 Most Recent Study Says Black Carbon is Second Only To CO2 17

18 Clean Vehicle Technologies Appropriate Maintenance Clean Fuels Better Air Quality Transportation & Land use Planning Elements of a Comprehensive Vehicle Pollution Control Strategy LowEmissions

19

20 Diesel Vehicles and Engines are Ideal Candidates for Black Carbon Control Very high ratio of Black Carbon to Organic Carbon Ubiquitous Control Technology Exists Substantial Health Co- Benefits

21 21 A Critical Technology: Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) Trapped Soot Cell Plugs Exhaust In (PM, CO, HC) Exhaust Out (CO 2, H 2 O) *Removes 90+% BC, PM; also HC and CO *Requires Ultralow Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)

24 Dealing With Existing Vehicles Must Be A High Priority Will Dominate Inventory For Several Years

26 Strategies For In-use Vehicles Mandatory Retirement (Scrappage) –Best applied to the oldest vehicles –Can be the most cost-effective reduction strategy Retrofit –The installation of emissions control equipment on vehicles not yet ready for retirement –Requires Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (< 50 PPM) For Most Advanced PM Filters

27 Transport Problems Not Limited To Road Vehicles
