Economic evaluation of mobility with the aim to minimize level of hazardous emissions
Overview
Objectives:
The aim of the project is to analyze various modes of transport (road, rail, sea and air) in the aspect of their external damage costs on human health and the environment due to emissions of hazardous air pollutants and compare them with the clean mobility based on the use of electricity and methane (CNG, LNG and biogas).
There will be analyzed relevant hazardous pollutants arising from transport (including abrasion of tires and brakes and resuspension of particles) within the project and also their health and economic impacts will be assessed. During the project a fundamental the attention will be given to measures aimed at reducing the impacts of transport on air quality by minimizing its hazardous emissions.
Individual potential solutions will be analyzed from the viewpoints of environmental benefits,financial costs, technical acceptability and impacts on the industrial sector. A "mix of measures" based on performed analysis will be designed. These measures will bring maximum environmental effects with the lowest possible financial costs paid from the public funds. Project will meet the concept of sustainability; it will contribute to enhancing the quality of life and competitiveness of the Czech Republic.
