What is the News?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Imperial College, London has released a paper on smart and sustainable urban transport.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the key suggestions given by the paper to decarbonize the Transport Sector?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Create Hyper-local Neighbourhoods: <\/b>Hyper-local neighbourhoods that provide every necessary service within a walking distance will help people avoid using transport for their daily needs. This can help reduce Green House Gas emissions(GHG) from the transport sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shifting Activities Online: <\/b>Lockdowns due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic forced a range of activities to shift online. Many of these changes can be recommended for permanent adoption.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use of Low Carbon Fuels: <\/b>Alternative low-carbon fuels involve the production of fuels using renewable or other low-carbon sources. The most well-developed fuel for production is hydrogen, but the use of hydrogen as fuel involves more substantive infrastructural changes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electrification: <\/b>Electrification in the transport sector is the process of replacing fossil-fuel based engines with electric motors. However, the challenge is to combine modern innovations and engineering alongside low-carbon electricity to ensure it is the cheapest and most sustainable option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shifting mode of transport:<\/b> Some modes of transport \u2014 public transport and cycling \u2014 are highly energy efficient. Using technology, policies, the built environment and behavioural interventions one can switch from less efficient modes to high energy-efficient modes like cycling and public transport.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
