Clean Transport in India by Shri Prakash,Sharif Qamar Pdf

As extreme weather events – the heat wave in Delhi in May 2022 and the unusually heavy rains in September 2022 – become more frequent, fulfilling the predictions of climate change experts, reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases that drive the climate change becomes increasingly urgent. Next to coal-fired power stations and the industrial sector, it is transport that accounts for a major share in these emissions, which makes Clean Transport in India a particularly timely publication. The book not only presents all the relevant statistics but, more important, explains the implications of those numbers and the interconnections between different facets of transport: for example, the greater number of vehicles on roads may seem to favour mobility but in fact makes roads more congested—and the congestion makes air pollution more severe, thereby aggravating its impact on health. At the same time, the book is not a prophet of doom but also touches upon electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cells, drones, and even flying cars. Instead of fretting and fuming when you are caught in a traffic jam, read this book: it will not only calm you but, who knows, may inspire you to be a ‘green’ commuter. Contents: Foreword Introduction Environment, climate change, and transport Rising air pollution and impact on health Link between air pollution and transport Linking domestic strategies with global aims Transport infrastructure development Rail Road Air Port Mobility and transport Regulations Transport pricing Modal mix Types of vehicles Passenger mobility Modes of travel Freight transport Projected trends in freight traffic The COVID-19 pandemic and transport Sustainable transport Strategies for sustainable transport Rising fuel prices and sustainable transport Prioritizing sustainable transport Emerging challenges Unplanned city expansion Economy based on privately owned vehicles Congestion Inadequate public transport The problem of parking Fuel consumption and emissions Oil imports and energy security Unsafe mobility Absence of a unified transport authority The road ahead Commitments under the Paris Agreement Futuristic low-carbon transport solutions Future of transport Audience: Adults who are concerned about topical issues but lack the understanding to make sense of what they read or watch in the mass media Shelving: Climate, Sustainable Development

Enabling Asia to Stabilise the Climate by Shuzo Nishioka Pdf

This book presents good practices in Asia and ASEAN countries for effectively promoting advances in response to climate change, which can help to achieve sustainable development in Asia and around the world. As a proposal, the aim is to influence the discussions at COP 21 by providing a positive agenda with concrete actions from an Asian perspective. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 describes the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction scenario from an Asian perspective and in line with global 2 ° targets. Based on modeling analysis, the studies demonstrate the theoretical potentials and send the policymakers at COP 21 the positive message that “Asia can reach the target.” As Asian countries vary in terms of their economic strength, country-specific scenario studies for the two giants China and India as well as for Japan and Vietnam are introduced to show the different approaches for each country. Part 2 shows successful examples of how modeling analysis are reflected in actual policy development, which provides practical guidelines to help policymakers develop their own roadmaps with stakeholder dialogue, not only in Asia but also in other regions of the world. The Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) roadmap development in Thailand as well as the Iskandar Malaysia project show at the country and city level how researchers and policymakers are working closely to succeed. Part 3 focuses on a number of sector-specific activities including transportation, forestry, capacity development, and inventory work in Asia. Rather than discussing the Low Carbon Society (LCS) concept in detail, the respective chapters highlight unique, concrete, and practically applicable examples from Asia, showing how Asian countries are addressing climate change mitigation issues in a collaborative manner, an approach that can be replicated in other regions. While the ultimate goal of this book is to facilitate international climate regime making, local government and international organizations (United Nations, World Bank, and others) officers, researchers, international NGO/NPOs, consultants, students (particularly those studying international relationships or environmental studies), as well as reporters will find this book useful in broadening their understanding of low-carbon development in Asia.

Electric Vehicle Integration in a Smart Microgrid Environment by Mohammad Saad Alam,Mahesh Krishnamurthy Pdf

Electric Vehicle Integration in a Smart Microgrid Environment The growing demand for energy in today’s world, especially in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, has been met with massive exploitation of fossil fuels, resulting in an increase in environmental pollutants. In order to mitigate the issues arising from conventional internal combustion engine-powered vehicles, there has been a considerable acceleration in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). Research has shown that the impact of fossil fuel use in transportation and surging demand in power owing to the growing EV charging infrastructure can potentially be minimalized by smart microgrids. As EVs find wider acceptance with major advancements in high efficiency drivetrain and vehicle design, it has become clear that there is a need for a system-level understanding of energy storage and management in a microgrid environment. Practical issues, such as fleet management, coordinated operation, repurposing of batteries, and environmental impact of recycling and disposal, need to be carefully studied in the context of an ageing grid infrastructure. This book explores such a perspective with contributions from leading experts on planning, analysis, optimization, and management of electrified transportation and the transportation infrastructure. The primary purpose of this book is to capture state-of-the-art development in smart microgrid management with EV integration and their applications. It also aims to identify potential research directions and technologies that will facilitate insight generation in various domains, from smart homes to smart cities, and within industry, business, and consumer applications. We expect the book to serve as a reference for a larger audience, including power system architects, practitioners, developers, new researchers, and graduate-level students, especially for emerging clean energy and transportation electrification sectors in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
