| Abstract | This study estimates and analyses the historical and future trends of energy demand and environmental emissions from passenger transport for Hyderabad. The major pollutant covered in this study is CO2. The passenger vehicle fleet for 2016 was estimated to be 25,30,622 vehicles. Major share of these vehicles were 2-wheelers (73%) and cars (21%). The historical trends of energy demand and emissions were calculated from 2007 to 2016 and energy demand was estimated to have increased by 138% and emissions by 137.6%. BAU scenario estimate energy demand and emissions increased by 4 and 5 times respectively by 2040. The results from increase in public transport, promotion of electric vehicles, revised electric vehicles and maximum potential scenarios suggest decrease in energy demand and total emissions by 24%, 46%, 28%, 41% and 28%, 26%, 15%, 22% compared to BAU. |
