Following the general guidelines for the transport sector study, we decided to adopt a methodological approach based on four steps: 1 INTRODUCTION • Establishment of a “Reference Scenario:� an assessment of the development This study aims to underpin Brazil’s efforts to explore methods for reducing total of future GHG emissions, reflecting the current objectives and long-term economic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs)1 arising from all areas of human activity.

These alternatives could contribute positively to the world’s climate, as well • Identification and quantification of the prospects and options for reducing as benefit Brazil’s socio-economic development.

This means that it made full use of available specialist knowledge (thereby • Establishment of a “Low-Carbon Scenario,� also consistent with the avoiding replication of effort) by undertaking a comprehensive survey of the literature government´s goals and long term economic policies; and, finally, an analysis of the and engaging in a wide-ranging consultation process with recognized Brazilian experts macroeconomic impact of shifting from the “Reference Scenario� to a “Low-Carbon and government technical staff. This preparatory work illuminated the need to study Scenario,� highlighting the financial implications this would entail. the prospects for more efficient solutions and lower GHG emissions, especially carbon dioxide (CO2) for the transport system as a whole. To quantify and evaluate the potential for reducing carbon emissions in the transport sector, this study developed special models (consistent with the CO2 results from the combustion of any material containing carbon, including fossil macroeconomic scenario adopted for the study) to determine the requirements for fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas, which consist of long chains of hydrocarbons and moving freight and passengers. It considered different infrastructure investment levels are widely used for electricity generation and transport purposes.

On the other o Urban Transport: travel in the urban-metropolitan area; and hand, the country´s contribution to global GHGs by burning fossil fuels is very small, o Regional Transport: travel in rural areas, in the air and in places where amounting to around 1.2% of total global emissions in 2006, according to data from the highways, waterways, railways and pipelines pass through large urban centers.

The number of motor vehicles produced in Brazil over the last 10 years has doubled, with the truck fleet (the main consumer of diesel) virtually tripling. Table 1 shows the evolution of production by type of vehicle. It is worth noting the recent upsurge in the number of motor vehicles in circulation Table 1: Vehicle Production 1999 – 2008 Source: DENATRAN / ANFAVEA Processing / Logit (i.e. increased motorization) between 2002 and 2007, as can be seen in Figure 4.

This finding also confirms the institutional complexity involved in dealing with issues related to atmospheric emissions, including CO2, in the transport sector. The following figure illustrates the comparison between rates of increase of the total fleet in circulation, GDP and Brazil’s population over the past thirty years.

The 1990s were marked congestion and negative environmental impacts. This situation is particularly bad by profound changes in many sectors, particularly transport.

These are still undergoing a process of adaptation, restructuring and evaluation. Competition with international operators, spurred by easier access to the Brazilian market, is a challenge now faced by practitioners in this sector. Meanwhile, the general transport infrastructure - a determining 1.3 Impacts Generated by the Transport Sector factor for promoting and generating economic and regional development - has been The transport sector is vital to economic and social development. While it can deteriorating for many years. Therefore, transport costs (and, in the final analysis, the be expected that in the coming decades the demand for transport will continue to costs of many goods and services), have risen steeply (PLANET, 2006).

Brazil´s total. Figure 5 indicates the consumption of fossil fuels by different sectors of In addition to the problems caused by vehicle emissions, other impacts (less studied the economy. but no less important) are generated by transport systems, including noise pollution, accidents, increased traffic congestion, increased fuel and energy consumption, time lost in traffic jams, and higher operating costs. Urban transport in Brazil predominantly concerns road transport, given that Figure 5: Fossil-fuel Consumption, by Sector in urban areas most trips are made by car or bus (e.g. around 55% in the city of Rio Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT de Janeiro). In the case of regional transport, approximately 60% of all freight is transported by trucks, which contribute significantly to the volume of emissions (PNLT, 2007). The gases and particles emitted daily by millions of vehicles in the cities and on intercity highways tend to accumulate in the atmosphere at different concentrations. They are dispersed by wind, trapped by thermal inversion, diluted and washed away by rain, or they may react with one another or with naturally- occurring elements to form secondary pollutants. The more stable gases remain in the atmosphere for longer, sometimes for months or years2, reaching the higher layers of the atmosphere and causing problems of a global magnitude such as the greenhouse effect and depletion of the ozone layer. �lvares Jr. (2007), claims that in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (MRSP), motor vehicles are major sources of pollutants from emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx ).

In the stratosphere, ozone occurs naturally, forming compounds (VOCs). Vehicles emit these gases both through the tail-pipe exhaust a protective layer against ultraviolet radiation.

Prolonged exposure causes permanent damage to the lungs. O3 also affects crops and causes damage to woodland and general vegetation (�lvares Jr, 2007). HCs are precursors to the formation of tropospheric ozone, and some are toxic or carcinogenic. The transport sector accounts for 50-75% of the HC types in the world Sulfur Oxides (SOx), released mainly in the form of sulfur dioxide (SO2), originate considered to be carcinogenic. They can also cause neurological and respiratory from the oxidation of sulfur in fuel during combustion. Over recent years regulations problems as well as limit reproduction and children’s growth. have forced a marked reduction in the sulfur content of fuels permitted for use in transport. In the United States, Europe and Japan, the levels of sulfur in vehicle fuels In the case of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), the growing number of vehicles in are currently very low, at around 10-15 ppm. In Brazil, these are 500 ppm in the industrialized countries has virtually cancelled out the gains created by more stringent metropolitan areas and 2,000 ppm in the interior. �lvares Jr. (2007) claimed that a emission controls. As a result, vehicle emissions of NOx have varied little over the past reduction in the sulfur content of diesel exhaust in Brazil to 50 ppm in metropolitan 20 years.

Particulate Matter (PM) is composed of solid or liquid particles suspended in the air. MP includes acids and heavy hydrocarbons, carbonaceous material with soluble fractions absorbed even by dust grains. PM10 includes all particles with a diameter Figure 6: Relative contribution of air pollutant emissions (by source) in the São Paulo Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT of less than 10 micrometers (�lvares Jr., 2007). Due to rainfall, the life-cycle of coarse Metropolitan Region particles in the atmosphere is less than twenty four hours. MP2.5 includes all particles of a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers. Particles of this size can be emitted as primary pollutants such as soot, or formed by incomplete combustion, or as acid particles in vehicle exhaust gases. Emission records indicate that engines and vehicles are major contributors of fine particles and intermediate particles (between 2.5 and 10 micrometers) in urban areas. In the MRSP, CETESB estimated in 2005 that about 30% of PM10 was released from diesel vehicle exhausts and 10% from Otto engines. The smaller particles are easily inhaled and can settle deep in the lungs, creating more serious health hazards than those caused by larger particles, which would most probably be expelled or retained in the body’s defenses in the head or throat. 3 Photochemical smog results from chemical reactions between hydrocarbons (HC) and other gases in the atmosphere, particularly ozone (O3) , and nitrogen oxides (NOx) when they combine in presence of sunlight. 2005 2030 Ev % 1.4 Transport and Carbon Emissions Consumption Sector Values in TEP (000s) % Values in TEP (000s) % aa The alarm regarding increased concentrations of CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere was first sounded by the American scientist Roger Revelle in the 1960s.

The fact that Brazil is not on the list of Annex I countries, and was therefore not presented with fixed targets for reducing CO2 emissions, does not excuse it from a commitment to reduce emissions, given that Article 3 of the Convention enshrines the As can be seen in Figure 7, Brazil´s transport sector consumed in 2005 Source: POE 2030 / Logit ‘precautionary principle’. approximately 52 MTOE (million tons of oil equivalent) of liquid fuels, amounting According to Brazil´s National Energy Plan, PNE (2007), the transport sector to around 75% of the total amount consumed in the country. Projections for 2030 demand for liquid fuels is the highest among all the country´s productive sectors. estimate that this percentage will remain at the same level (just over 73%), indicating that if nothing is done, the transport sector will continue to be responsible for the majority of CO2 emissions from the combustion of liquid fuels. The increased absolute consumption level will produce a higher amount of CO2 emissions. A pressing need Figure 7: Liquid fuels consumption in Brazil, by sector therefore exists to structure a set of strategies and mitigation options that could, over time, lead to reduced consumption in the sector, thereby helping to reduce the impacts of GHG emissions overall. Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT In a study conducted recently for Mexico it was found that in the transport sector, 90% of GHG emissions originate from road transport (CTS, 2008). The transport sector as a whole accounted for the second largest source of emissions of greenhouse gases (18% of total GHG emissions). In Brazil the percentage of GHG emissions in the transport sector is not significantly different, as shown by Figure 8.

As a result of the precarious urban infrastructure, quality of life in Brazil’s major cities has gradually declined. Travel by public transport remains one of the main problems faced by the population. Population growth in the cities has generated a substantial increase in daily trips, especially those involving people going to and from work. This involves large numbers of vehicles vying for limited space and, given the chronically bad state of much of the urban infrastructure, serious congestion is commonplace. Traffic is particularly heavy According to estimates made in the course of our study, CO 2 emissions in the Source: Logit / 2009 at peak times (morning and late afternoon rush-hours).

In the remaining cities individual modes of transport predominate, as illustrated in Figure 10. 30 31 Figure 10: Daily Motorized Trips: Public V Individual Transport Modes In 1997, for the first time in the last 40 years, individual motorized trips in the 39 Source: OD - Metro / Logit municipalities within the São Paulo Metropolitan Region surpassed the number of trips made by public transport, which declined from 52% to 48%. In 2002, however, individual trips fell back to 45%, after peaking in 2002. Figure 12 indicates a significant increase in the number of daily motorized trips from 1997 to 2007 – about 4.6 million trips, with 3.5 million on public transportation (75%) and 1.1 million by individual means (25%). In the public transport sector, the building and upgrading of a number of suburban train and metro lines during this period led to a significant increase in passenger loads: 3.5% on the Metro and 5.6% on the suburban commuter train system. At the same time, the absolute numbers of passengers carried by the regular bus services increased at a slightly higher rate: In the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region (RJMR), approximately 6.5 million daily 1,022,000 by bus, compared to 996,000 by rail. Source: ANTP (2007) trips are made by regular bus (PDTU, 2005), representing 35% of total trips. In the São Paulo Metropolitan Region the percentage is around 33%, representing around 8.3 million daily trips (Metro-OD survey, 2007). Figure 12: Daily Motorized Trips, by mode, The above figures do not include trips made by low-capacity vehicles (vans and in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region (1997 and 2007) mini-buses). In Rio de Janeiro these account for about 1.7 million trips daily or 8% of the total (PDTU, 2005), while in the SPMR the number is lower: 0.7 million trips, amounting to 2.8% of total motorized trips (Metro-OD survey, 2007). Figure 11 below illustrates the changes (in %) that have occurred in the SPMR Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT in trips made by public and individual transport over the past 40 years. Figure 12 indicates the total numbers of trips, by mode, made in the same area in the ten-year period 1997-2007. This data was assembled from the Origin and Destination surveys carried out every ten years (and more recently every 5 years) by the São Paulo public transport authorities, coordinated by the São Paulo Metro Company. Figure 11 clearly shows the rapid growth of individual motorized trips in São Paulo compared with travel by public transport: 70% and 30% in 1967 and 51% and 49% in 1997 respectively.

The three-fold increase in the number of trips by public transport compared to Source: OD- Metro / Logit individual motorized trips in São Paulo is due mainly to the increased use of light-duty commercial vehicles for school transport: 1.06 million trips, which increased the proportion of this mode of transport vis-à-vis the total of daily motorized trips from 1.3% in 1997 to 5.2% in 2007. Growing public concern over crime and safety (especially concerning schoolchildren’s use of public transport) may be one of the justifications for this rise.

This is most likely due to the fact that trip lengths in Rio (Brazil´s second most highly-populated urban area after São Paulo) are longer, due to the different geophysical characteristics of the area. Therefore, trips by individual modes are more expensive, and daily trips on public transport are thus cost-effective.The research undertaken on this subject, and confirmed by the numerical evidence, highlights the important role played by the regular urban bus systems in Brazil. Currently, virtually all Brazilian cities depend on Pipeline networks began developing in Brazil to transport oil, oil products buses for transporting their populations. and certain mineral ores.

Road transport, on the other hand, evolved quickly during the 20 th century Road transport represents around 60% of the total Brazilian matrix. This mode throughout Brazil, mainly benefiting the most economically-advanced metropolitan Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT expanded due to the rapid growth of the vehicle fleet since the 1950s, the shortage of regions. In the North and Center-West, coverage was significantly less due to lower public investment over recent years in infrastructure improvements for other modes, population densities and the type of economic activities (agriculture and livestock and the greater operational autonomy of road transporters. Additionally, the ease of raising). The road network expanded rapidly from the second half of the last century, access afforded by road travel contributed significantly to growth. following the growth of the auto industry in Brazil, which was accompanied by heavy investments in road infrastructure. The usage of rail and waterway modes is currently increasing following massive investment by private operators in port and railway installations and operations.

Meanwhile, as mentioned above, air transport, only contributes to less than 1% of the total volume of freight carried. Commercial air transport developed mainly to satisfy the demand for long-distance trips and served inter alia to integrate isolated areas into the national territory.

In addition to the PAC, the development and deployment of the National Logistics and Transport Plan (PNLT), revisited in 2007 by the Ministry of Transport, aims to pursue a number of transport infrastructure projects. Before 2001 the Brazilian Transport Planning Company (GEIPOT) developed a structure and methodology for 38 39 implementing a process for the regional planning of freight and passenger transport. 1.7 Institutional Overview This was discontinued after the transport sector was restructured, triggered by a In the specific case of Brazil, institutional complexity makes it difficult to deal number of privatizations and concessions.

The latter, in turn, needs to be in a position to respond A study aimed at estimating future carbon emission levels in the transport sector, flexibly to the demands from different sectors of the economy. and identifying ways of mitigating such emissions, necessarily involves a varied and complex range of procedures. Each transport mode, user and freight load-type requires a specific analytical approach in view of the inherently different characteristics of each trip. Furthermore, it is important to note that the transport sector is directly linked 2.2 Future Carbon Dioxide Emissions Scenarios to other sectors of the economy. This increases the difficulties involved in obtaining estimates of the impacts on the environment, especially of carbon emissions.

In addition to presenting different approaches, the time series of this information was outdated and discontinuous. Therefore, the OD Survey, conducted under the supervision of the São Paulo Metro Company (2007), for the São Paulo metropolitan region, and the Urban Transport Master Plan - PDTU (2005) for the Rio de Janeiro region and the Belo Horizonte Mobility Plan (2009) for Belo Horizonte, were used as the main benchmarks for extrapolating the urban trip estimates for all the similarity clusters. This information (up-to-date, using similar methodological approaches and producing a trip-generation factor by household according to income Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT in MWs) served as an ideal starting-point for calculations for each of the eight similarity clusters. The numbers were then individually fine-tuned to reflect the following: The middle range (households with 2-10 minimum wages) has roughly the same Socioeconomic and demographic indicators used in the clustering process: Sources: Census Counts and Population - IBGE / Logit share - between 54% and 60% for all the similarity clusters, except for Class 8 which (i) GDP, population and households, by income bands in minimum • comprises the 4,757 Brazilian municipalities with under 60,000 inhabitants, whose wages for calculating trip-generation intensity; o share is in the region of 45%.

Building new bus systems obviously involves systems by 2014 in order to meet the commitments established at the time Brazil was much higher relative costs compared with options focused solely on improving existing chosen. Many city authorities have publicized their expectations in this respect in the systems. In the case of the metropolitan regions some major transport corridors are media and on the internet. already saturated and investments in these can be easily justified. Although the above aspirations (and others) were taken into account when building the reference scenario, it was concluded that Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems were the most feasible option, incurring lower infrastructure investments and less time to execute in urban-metropolitan areas. This was considered the best 2.5 Aspects of Transport Modeling alternative for improving traffic circulation and encouraging people to travel by public The study based its evaluation of the potential for reducing vehicle carbon transport rather than by car.

These movements, categorized by transport mode, were expressed in units that could be measured in terms of carbon emissions. In this way it was possible to assess the emission impacts of different types of vehicles which might, or might not, be capable of using alternative low-emission engine technology. This approach enabled us to model different scenarios to take account of the possible impacts arising from Table 11: Investments in Public and Mass Transport Systems different transport modes using alternative technologies.

In this respect, any decisions on transport planning need to be based on wide-ranging analytical models capable of evaluating various sets of 56 alternatives through multiple interactions, as illustrated in Figure 21. 57 Figure 21: Analytical model for transport planning Source: Logit (2009) 2.5.2 The “Four-Stages� Model Over the past 50 years a methodology has been developed and consolidated for modeling transport supply and demand. Conceptual improvements were introduced at various stages of the methodological process. However, the basic structure adopted for addressing the problem has been maintained, while improvements arising from transport research have been gradually introduced and used in practical applications. As illustrated in Figure 22, the traditional modeling process is usually handled in four distinct stages: Trip generation or demand; Given the complexity and amount of information and alternatives which constitute Source: Logit (2009) Trip distribution; • the transport planning process, analytical models serve as a feedback system to ensure constant re-evaluation of the established goals and objectives.

The sequence of the various procedures is detailed below. As for traditional route assignment (the final modeling stage), we studied the interaction between supply, represented by transport mode, and demand, summarized in the trip matrices converted into passenger movements or numbers of vehicles transporting people and/or freight. Figure 22: Sequencing of the “Four-Stage� Transport Model The results obtained were fed into a process for evaluating the alternatives. This procedure involved economic aspects and the met transport demand. The specific objective of each stage was to simulate demand behaviour by using a set of models. The link between the various stages (involving the possible removal of some, or their substitution by alternative procedures) aimed to produce the same results, depending inter alia on the goals of each study, the methodology adopted, and the information available. In this study, some procedures are adapted in view of the global nature assumptions form the basis for projecting economic variables that impact demand for of its objectives and the need to consider the possibility of vehicles using different transport directly in a specific timeframe. technologies for reducing carbon emissions.

In this way, the spatial pattern of transport demand for each type of flow analyzed is represented by a set of distribution-demand or trip matrices.

The emission curves based on vehicle speeds according to the COPERT model were initially adapted to 2.6.1 Parameters and General Criteria All the mitigation measures included in the final low-carbon scenario proposed the CETESB figures and later fine-tuned to bring the resulting parameters into line will require new investments in transport infrastructure, or a variety of expenditures with the other subjects addressed by the Brazil Low Carbon Study, mainly Ethanol & generated by institutional actions.

In other words, the larger cities experience slower vehicle speeds, resulting in higher levels of emissions per kilometer travelled by motor vehicles. The concept of different emissions factors for different speed levels (higher fuel burning per kilometer), according to the COPERT 2.6.2 Net Investments Curve Not all the mitigation measures will require investments to be intensified or avoided model, was applied in the present study to the eight urban clusters. with respect to the reference scenario, but in the approach to this hypothetical financial result (“Net Investment�), all the flows of “Investment Required�, “O&M costs� and “Avoided Investments� will be taken into consideration. These flows, accumulated over 2.6 Models for Evaluating Economic Results time, will constitute the “Net Investments Curve� as illustrated in Figure 23 below.

The sum of these values of accumulated “net investment� amounts to US$7,522 million. Divided by the hypothetical 50 million tons of CO2e avoided, the final result is US$150.44 per ton of CO2e. 62 63 2.6.3 Other Indicators Selected as Analysis Parameters In addition to the reduction of emissions and net investments intensified or avoided in this study of the transport sector, the economic analysis of all the mitigation measures also takes into account the aforementioned “other socio-economic benefits� arising from these. In our assessment, these benefits were introduced as marginal abatement costs, with their effects assessed separately and their results incorporated into the “Financial Cost per Ton of CO2e avoided�, under three headings: fuel economy, Figure 23 presents a hypothetical example where, in 2030, “Investment Required� comparative transport system operating gains and social benefits. will amount to US$891 million, “O&M Costs� to US$264 million, and “Investment The direct effects of these benefits were calculated using the transport system as Avoided� to US$623 million, resulting in a total “Net Investment� of US$531 million, an efficiency parameter.

From the hypothetical example illustrated in Figures 23 and 24, the indicator of the “Financial Cost of a Ton of CO2 equivalent Avoided with Fuel Effect� will amount to 64 65 US$123.16 per ton of CO2e and therefore: Figure 24: The “Net Investments with Fuel Effect� Curve The values of the total “net investment with fuel effect� accumulated year- by-year through the end year of the project are, in incremental order (US$ • million): 30, 86, 134, 177, 214, 246, 273, 296, 316, 332 , 345, 356, 364, 370, 374, 377, 377, 377, 375, 372 and 367. The sum of the values of total “net investment with fuel effect� amounts to US$6,158 million. Divided by the hypothetical 50 million tons of CO2e • avoided, the result is US$123.16 per ton of CO2e. The possibility of reducing expenditure for transport operators resulting from lower fuel consumption with the introduction of these mitigation measures has a positive impact on the entire sector. However, for the economy as a whole, it is necessary to verify the forecast production and consumption of fuels, and especially to determine the destination of fuel consumed at lower levels than originally anticipated. The effects of the mitigation measures presented in this study were evaluated incrementally and cumulatively. Fuel savings were calculated for each of the different options, using the production costs of fuels used in the Brazil Low Carbon Study as a Figure 24 above illustrates the continuity of the hypothetical example shown in parameter, but without considering other possible macroeconomic outcomes. The Figure 23. Thus in 2030, the cumulative “Net Investment� amounts to US$ 531 million, overall macroeconomic effect was evaluated on the basis of “Increased Ethanol from which was subtracted the US$164 million relating to fuel economies. The result, Consumption by Flex-Fuel vehicles,� where the fuel consumption values were US$367 million, comprises the “net investment with fuel effect curve�, calculated considered to be investment flows required as the result of higher ethanol consumption according to the following formula: (calculated on the basis of bio-ethanol production costs) and avoided by lower gasoline consumption (calculated on the production costs of gasoline).

Products of the with fuel effect�, at present and nominal values, constitutes the second indicator transport system can generate both advantages and disadvantages. However, a key calculated for each measure - the “Financial Cost of Ton of CO2e avoided with Fuel objective of an economic evaluation of transport investments is to examine all the Effect�, according to the following formula: advantages and disadvantages, with the ultimate aim of securing net benefits from the transport system, and to compare these benefits with the costs involved. Early transport studies undertook results evaluations purely in engineering terms, where: concentrating on the safest and cheapest way of installing and running a transport CFEfC Ton CO 2e Ev = Σ ILEfC (ACn) / Σ Ton CO2e Ev CFEfC Ton CO 2e Ev = “Financial Cost of Ton of CO2e avoided with Fuel Effect� system. Later studies established monetary values for all the factors considered relevant, in order to make it possible to calculate rates of return on capital costs or present net values as a means of comparing alternative projects. In addition to the different levels of investment and capacities required, alternative transport systems also involve different operating and management cost structures for infrastructure and vehicles. Thus the so-called “operational gains� derived from the planned interventions were quantified monetarily, and the study adopts an approach based on comparing the difference between scenarios with and without the 66 67 deployment of interventions, reflecting the costs and benefits projections associated with the new developments. The methodology of economic evaluation follows the general concepts adopted by the World Bank for economic feasibility studies of transport projects, where the basic goal is to estimate the benefits generated from deploying and streamlining a system. The main benefits considered as “gains� in urban transport operations include: Reduced Operating Costs: operational efficiency measured in terms of the gains achieved by comparing operating costs with infrastructure and/or • vehicle maintenance costs with the alternatives considered (cost of rolling stock, maintenance-staff costs, operation of vehicles and infrastructure etc). The above figure shows a value of US$367 million accumulated by 2030 for the “net Reduced Management Costs: managerial efficiency measured in terms of investment with fuel effect� curve, from which US$362 million relating to fuel economy gains achieved, by comparing the administrative costs needed for operation was subtracted. The result, US$5 million, constitutes the curve of “net investment with fuel and operation effect�, calculated according to the following formula: • of the infrastructure and/or vehicles with the alternatives considered (personnel costs, equipment costs etc); Accident Reduction: measuring the gains by comparing the number of where: ILEfCO (tot) = ILEfC (tot) - Σ GOper expected accidents and anticipated replacement costs with the alternatives ILEfCO (tot) = total “Net investment with fuel and operation effects “ ; • considered (replacement cost of rolling stock, cost of lost workdays by drivers etc). ILEfC (tot) = total “Net investment with effect fuel�, and GOper = operation revenue gains. In the case of regional freight and passenger transport, the operational gains correspond to the net variation of the revenues of each operator arising from the The avoided emissions in the reference scenario, compared with the total “net deployment of the mitigation measure under consideration (reference scenario vs. investment with fuel and operation effect� at face and present values, constitute low-carbon scenario). the third indicator calculated for each measure - the “Financial Cost of a Ton of CO2e Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Avoided with Fuel Effects and Operation�, according to the following formula: In line with the proposed methodology, the initial stage of the evaluation process consisted of identifying the production costs of the transport services on a “present costs� basis. The following stage consisted of incorporating the demand to be where: CFEfCO Ton CO 2e Ev = Σ ILEfCO (ACn) / Σ Ton CO 2e Ev captured in each of the simulated alternatives for the time-horizons of the study.

In the hypothetical example illustrated in Figures 23, 24 and 25, the indicator of “Financial Cost of a Ton of CO2 avoided with the Fuel and Operation effects� amounts to US$62.50 per ton of CO2e.

The reductions in terms of vehicles times kilometers, multiplied by the unit costs of pollution related to each mode, made it possible to determine the annual benefit generated by reduced air pollution. 2.6.3.3 Final Net Investment Curve In the methodological approach of the economic evaluation model adopted, the Evaluating the benefits arising from the “lower costs of accidents� also involves financial costs arising from deployment of the mitigation measures initially constituted examining the changes in trip lengths by transport users based upon situations with the “net investments curve�.

These gains have a positive impact on the decisions made by logistics operators. Positive evaluations indicate that the mitigation options analyzed could be successful; Figure 26: The “Final Net Investments� Curve To complete the economic assessment of mitigation options leading to framing the 2030 low-carbon scenario for the transport sector, the effects of • the so-called “social benefits� (both direct and indirect) were incorporated. Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Some of these effects will directly benefit passenger-transport users and were quantified by measuring, in monetary terms, the reduction of trip time for both public transport and individual means. The interdependence of many of the variables in the transport systems means that actions focused on a small part of the system which can produce reduced trip times effectively trigger a chain reaction which can impact both users of public transport and those using individual modes. Thus, in addition to the direct effects on users of the transport systems, society as a whole will benefit indirectly from the “social benefits�. In order to quantify the benefits monetarily, we evaluated the reduced health costs flowing from the alternatives analyzed, separated into two groups: Lower costs of pollution (CO2 is harmless to humans in the lower atmosphere, i.e. there is no damage to health and therefore no health expenditure resulting • from CO2); 4 The values that appear in the ANTP study refer to the costs of local pollution and not to CO2 and GHGs year “n�; Ton CO2 and Ev = the value of emission reductions for each year within the study period, compared to the reference scenario in tons of CO2 avoided. In the hypothetical example illustrated in Figures 23, 24, 25 and 26, the indicator of the “Final Cost of a Ton of CO2e Avoided� will be negative: US$ (4.28) per ton of CO2e. In other words, with the inclusion of all the direct and indirect economic and social benefits in the evaluation, the required investments for the hypothetical mitigation 70 71 measure will be fully compensated for, producing a credit of US$ 4.28 for each ton of CO2e avoided. The sum total of the preferred benefits will exceed the amount of the aforementioned investments required: The values of the total “Final Cost of tons of CO2 Avoided� accumulated on a year-by-year basis up to the horizon year of the project will be, in ascending • order (in US$ million) 30, 79, 116, 142, 157, 163, 161, 151 , 135, 112, 85, 52, 15, (26), (70), (118) (169) (222) (277) (335) and (395); The sum of these total accumulated values of “net investment with fuel and operation effects� amount to a negative US$ (214) million.

Still employing the hypothetical example presented in this section, US$5 million was accumulated by 2030 in the “net investment with fuel and operation� curve. From this, US$400 million was subtracted referring to “social benefits�, thereby producing a negative result: US$(395) million.

This approach made it possible to determine the fixed and variable components of the costs in situations with and without the implementation of the new T5 Corridor, for each of the modeling horizons. The data on unit costs of accidents in bus systems were obtained from studies Reducing the Cost of Accidents Based on the prices of each input and the composition of the fleets in operation, conducted by the World Bank in Brazil, particularly the programs for the CBTU the methodology used permitted quantifying the fixed and variable unit costs of the decentralization of urban rail transport in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Belo Horizonte and system with and without the deployment of the alternative considered i.e. conventional Recife. vs. articulated bus services (Table 14). Based on this data, the model allowed The calculation procedure adopted to measure this type of benefit, considered the quantification of (i) the operating indicators for each alternative and (ii) the total costs of accidents for each mode of transport. To determine the yearly benefits, the operating costs of the system for each modeling horizon and alternative considered. costs were obtained by calculating the difference in the total number of passengers The fleet’s average age was assumed to be that recorded for the year that the T5 times kilometers in the situations with and without the project, for each transport Corridor studies were underway. mode and each modeling horizon. Multiplying the number of vehicles by kilometers by the unit cost of operation The general mathematical formulation for each mode of transport is given by: and the number of days in the year produces the annual operating cost for each type RCAcid = ((Pass x km SP - Pass x km CP) C Acid / FP - Supply) x Days / Year Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT of vehicle for each time-horizon, and for situations with and without the project. The annual gain can thus be determined as the result of reduced operating costs.

The methodology used for calculating this benefit considered the net annual result The T5 Corridor studies contained an evaluation of the direct and indirect social of the variation between total passengers per hour in the “with and without the project� benefits over the 25-year useful lifetime of the system as a whole. These values, situations, based upon the time-value calculated in the Declared Preference Survey together with the other transport modeling data, are presented in the following table conducted in Rio de Janeiro at the time of the T5 Corridor studies. The values obtained (in US$ per kilometer of operation): for “Value of User Travel Time� were R$1.08 per passenger-hour for travel on public transport, and R$12.07 per passenger-hour for individual transport users.

This criterion makes it possible to evaluate RT (Baseline): the total expenditure by transport users, i.e. the revenue accrued by separately the economic impacts of each transport alternative on the two main groups the totality of operators in the baseline situation (reference scenario); of stakeholders involved: CT (Alt): operating costs incurred by all the operators with the alternative or Transport operators of the different transport modes; mitigation measure under analysis (low-carbon scenario); Passenger or freight transport users (categorized by flow-type). CT (Baseline): operating costs incurred by all the operators with the baseline • 88 89 situation (reference scenario). The economic efficiency of each alternative related to each of the above groups can • be evaluated. The total net benefits for all the groups should indicate the global impact on the economy. Once the effects of each alternative have been calculated for each of the stakeholders involved, these values are classified and presented according to the 2.6.6.2 Benefits for Users The benefits for users are calculated in terms of money and time for each type methodology explained in sections 2.6.1, 2.6.2 and 2.6.3. of flow. The model offers the possibility of using different time-values to check the sensitivity of the economic evaluation against these assumptions. To illustrate the calculation of user benefits, the deployment of an alternative or mitigation measure is needed that can reduce the overall cost of transport to the user 2.6.6.1 Benefits to Operators The benefits accruing to transport operators are the result of the net change in across a given pair of zones. The overall cost of transport to the user corresponds to the the revenues received by each operator due to the deployment of alternatives or the average tariff or the average ticket price, plus the time spent (in monetary terms) to mitigation measures under consideration. This benefit arises from the operating carry the user or product from origin to destination by the various forms of transport profits flowing from the alternative, as explained in section 2.6.2. The benefits can be available. expressed by the following formula: Assuming that, due to the reduced overall cost of transport from T to T1 the demand Ben. (Operator) = Profit (Alt) -Profits (Baseline) increases between D and D1, the user benefit can be interpreted as the sum of two The profit for a particular operator in the Baseline or Reference Scenario - Profit parts:(i) related to the reduction of costs as compared to those incurred by former (Baseline) – and in the alternative or low-carbon scenario - Profit (Alt) – is the users (D), and (ii) related to the benefit accruing to future users (D1-D), which in effect difference between revenue earned (RT-Operator) and the transport operating costs corresponds to the increased demand for transport between that pair of zones due to (CT Operator). The benefit for each operator can thus be calculated by: reduced transport costs. It can be assumed (for reasons of clarity) that in this interval Ben. (Operator) = [RT (Alt / Oper) - CT (Alt / Oper)] - [RT (Baseline / Oper) - CT the demand curve can be represented by a straight line. This portion of the benefit is (Baseline / Oper)] called “consumer surplus�. The calculation below expresses the benefit for each user across each pair of origin-destination zones: Fro the group of operators the benefit is equal to the sum total of the individual benefits, and can be expressed by: User Benefit = D * (T-T ‘) + [(D’-D) * (T-T’) / 2] where: Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Ben. (Operators) = [RT (Alt) - CT (Alt)] - [RT (Baseline)] where the first tranche - D * (T-T ‘) - corresponds to the benefit accruing to the original users, and the second to the “consumer surplus� to benefit potential users, due to the TT (Baseline): total (money and time) on transport for all flow-types between all deployment of the alternative or mitigation measure under consideration. pairs of zones in the baseline situation (reference scenario); It is often argued that demand between pairs of zones is inelastic over the short TT (Alt): total costs (money and time) transport for all flow-types between all pairs term. This presupposes that changes (in time and costs) in transport supplied for a of zones in the alternative or mitigation measure under analysis (low-carbon scenario). given period will only produce benefits in terms of demand distribution after a certain Note that the total monetary costs of transport users correspond to the total revenue time has elapsed. This effectively voids the second tranche - [(D’-D) * (T-T ‘) / 2] - accruing to all transport system operators. Thus the TT value can also be expressed as: corresponding to the consumer surplus produced by demand variation. The economic benefit for all users can be seen from the following representation of user savings on TT = RT + GT public transport. where: User benefit = TT (Baseline) - TT (Alt) RT(Alt): total monetary expenditure by users on transport, i.e. the revenue accrued where: by the totality of operators with the alternative or mitigation measure under analysis TT (Baseline): total (money and time) on transport for all flow-types between all and hopefully contribute to reducing carbon emissions for the different transport pairs of zones in the baseline situation (reference scenario); modes. Meanwhile, it is obvious that the behavior patterns of transport-users throughout Brazil need to be modified in future. Streamlining of both freight and TT (Alt): total costs (money and time) on transport for all flow-types between all passenger transport regionally and in urban areas will introduce more balance into the pairs of zones, in the alternative or mitigation measure under analysis (low-carbon energy matrix for the sector, leading to more sustainable transport patterns. scenario). Figure 26 shows the modeling structure used for linking regional and urban Note is that total user-spending on transport corresponds to the total revenue transport to fuel consumption, as well as the related parameters and information accruing to the totality of system operators. The value TT can also be written as: 90 91 sources used in our work. It is important to highlight the diversity of factors considered TT = RT + GT as representing the transport system and energy consumption by the sector in Brazil. A where: number of features of the model are worth highlighting: RT: user expenditure on transport; different modes of regional freight transport are heavily dependent on diesel; GT: time spent by users (or their products) on transport. • Thus the benefit to users can finally be expressed by: regional passenger transport, with the exception of the airline sector, is also dependent on diesel; User benefit = [RT (Base) + GT (Base)] - [RT (Alt) + GT (Alt)] • where: in the cities, diesel continues to be the main fuel used for freight transport; RT (Baseline): user-expenditure on transport for all flow-types between all pairs of diesel also plays a major role in passenger transport in the urban areas, • zones in the baseline situation (reference scenario); although vehicle energy sources are more diverse. • RT (Alt): user-expenditure on transport for all flow-types between all pairs of areas in the alternative or mitigation measure in the analysis (low-carbon scenario). GT (Baseline): time spent by users (or their products) on transport, expressed in monetary values, for all flow-types between all pairs of zones, in the base situation (reference scenario); GT (Alt): time spent by users (or their products) on transport, converted into monetary values, for all flow-types between all pairs of zones, in the alternative or mitigation measure in the analysis (low-carbon scenario). User benefits, calculated using the “MANTRA� methodology, were considered in the economic evaluation of regional transport mitigation measures as being direct “social benefits�, as referred to in 2.6.3.3 above. Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT 2.7 Conclusions The methodology used and consolidated throughout this study resulted from the team’s experience of preparing studies related to the transport sector. Additional information was also needed to facilitate building the scenarios. The work revealed two controversial aspects of the transport sector in Brazil: (i) the difficulty of obtaining consistent data and information; and (ii) the lack of coordination among the various stakeholders in the sector. Notwithstanding the above problems, the work team succeeded in producing robust and consistent estimates which matched those developed by other groups working on the Project. The results can help to formulate specific policies for the transport sector Figure 27: Linking Regional and Urban Transport to Fuel Consumption 3 REFERENCE SCENARIO The Reference Scenario considered for the transport sector is the same as that designed for the PNE 2030 (ranked as the “most likely�). To estimate future consumption and emissions, the PNE adopted a type of top-down methodology. The main parameters for the PNE projections were (i) the volume of fuel sold in the country and (ii) government economic policies, existing plans and programs between 2005 and 92 93 2007. It is important to emphasize that the fuel consumption volumes resulting from the transport sector modeling were reconciled and adjusted in line with the trend estimates identified by the PNE, given that transport modeling, as already noted, was based on a bottom-up methodology. The projections considered in the 2030 PNE assume that the investments foreshadowed in the PAC for transport infrastructure work would be implemented by the end of the study’s timescale (2030). Table 16 shows perfect harmony between the fuel consumption projections estimated by the PNE 2030 using the top-down methodology with the bottom-up method considered in the transport modeling.

The which uses bio-ethanol widely as a fuel for light vehicles, the reference scenario can Ministries of Transport, Cities, Environment, together with CETESB - São Paulo, and already be regarded as a “low emissions� scenario, compared to other countries with FIPE were particularly helpful in this respect. the same problems caused by rapid increases in the number of motorized vehicles. Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT In the light of the above, particularly in the case of urban transport, the future low- carbon scenario proposed in this study does not reveal significant reductions in CO2 emissions by private vehicles. Meanwhile, prioritizing the public transport system at the expense of private car use, produced relatively more significant effects given that this alternative targets reductions in the number of private cars in circulation. Table 23-A presents estimates of CO 2, emissions calculated for the Brazilian transport sector in 2007, classified by type of fuel used and three different criteria: Direct Emissions: CO2 emissions resulting from direct combustion by all types of vehicles used in transporting freight and passengers. This was the • criterion adopted in this project for calculating emissions from the transport sector in the two scenarios studied, • Total Emissions: direct emissions, plus emissions from the processes needed to produce the different types of fuels for use in vehicles; teams participating in the project. In this way they were totally integrated into the parameters and assumptions postulated in the PNE 2030. Total emissions without the addition of bio-fuels: total emissions considering This approach sought to ensure that the assumptions used for the projections of gasoline with no alcohol added (G0), and diesel without the addition of freight and passenger movements were consistent with the other premises adopted • biodiesel (B0). in the modeling of other study areas. In addition to ensuring the consistency of assumptions, the work also the possibility of producing sensitivity analyses by using different macroeconomic scenarios with different configurations of sectoral and/or 94 95 regional growth, with direct impacts on the results of the projections.

Furthermore, in this hypothetical scenario, if ethanol had not been used transported and the distances covered by each mode of transport.

These figures make it easier to view the reference scenario for the transport sector in Brazil as an already low-carbon scenario. The set of models enabled us to project the relevant variables on an annualized basis, taking into account the impact of PAC investments on regional transport infrastructure and the Urban Mobility Plans “balance sheets� for urban transport infrastructure. In this way it was possible to estimate loads and the overall effects of polluting emissions 3.1 Structuring the Reference Scenario for all the regional and urban transport modes, in the reference scenario.

The current competition between transport facilities in the metropolitan regions. The second focused on interventions road transport and other modes for transporting large amounts of freight contributes in travel demand management, where the priority is to reduce trip length and demand to increasing GHG emissions. Non-road operators generally have difficulties and promote a shift from private cars to high-occupancy transport. The third focuses on with regard to modal integration and using a transport infrastructure in need of developing zero-carbon, non-motorized transport. modernization. It is possible that a significant reduction in the volume of freight transported by road in 2030 would generate negative impacts for independent operators faced with fewer options to transport freight. A possible strategy for reducing these future impacts 4.2.1 Use of High -Occupancy Public Transport The first group of mitigation measures considered for urban transport is the would be to establish integrated transport routes where the distances would be expansion of high-capacity mass public transport systems for transporting passengers shorter, but where frequency would be enhanced.

Urban transport in Brazilian cities is primarily by bus, which at present accounts for around 85% of all trips. The carbon emissions of buses are a function of speed, since lower velocities imply lower fuel consumption. BRT systems can operate in higher Table 32: Loading and emissions - BRT - Baseline x Low Carbon average speeds, because they can travel in dedicated lanes.

Since municipalities have autonomous control over their transport systems it is difficult to identify progress made by every policy and/or strategy. Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT The National Mobility Plan (PlanMob), under the aegis of the Ministry of Cities, aims to encourage Brazilian municipal authorities to implement their Transport Master Plans and to help them adopt appropriate policies and strategies in line with their development programs, taking into account municipality size, social, economic, cultural and environmental characteristics, as well as resource availability. The Master Plans are considered mandatory for municipalities with over 500 inhabitants, and Source: Logit (2009) essential for those with over 100,000. Given that each municipality posseses autonomous control over the management of its own transport and road/street systems, the Ministry of Cities will need to find a way of coordinating these policies at the central level. Incentives are needed to encourage the adoption of the policies, particularly by municipalities which aim to expand their large- capacity passenger transport systems. The policies outlined here are of an incremental nature, aimed at increasing the supply of good-quality public transport in the municipalities, and especially in Travel demand management measures designed to ensure continuous and effective Brazil’s metropolitan regions, which contain the largest numbers of private vehicles in operation must be fully integrated with those that promote and enhance the quality of circulation.

The set of mitigation measures suggested will inevitably improve the traffic Consideration could be given to establishing the new BRT-type systems (similar situation in general in the metropolitan regions where, according to the Belo Horizonte to those operating in Curitiba) in certain cities as a viable option for improving traffic Urban Mobility Plan, traffic speeds in large urban centers are generally under 22 km/ circulation and as an alternative to private car transport. A key advantage is that BRT hour. It is well-known that fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are greatly reduced at 124 125 involves lower investment costs in infrastructure and quicker deployment times. normal average speeds. All in all, it is expected that the sum of the above measures will bring about substantial emissions reductions. Productivity gains in the transport system are also important. A system of efficient and good quality public transport increases the prospects for increased demand and As explained in section 4.2.1, introducing high-performance public transport leads modal shift (from private cars to rapid high-capacity public transport). The cities stand to significant fuel consumption and emissions reductions. However, a better flow of to benefit from improved and more manageable traffic flows and less-congested streets vehicles also runs the risk of actually creating more traffic, resulting from repressed given the smaller number of private vehicles in operation. demand. Thus, demand management strategies must ensure a balance between the development of transport supply and demand in order to prevent emissions reverting Traffic congestion in the metropolitan regions and the larger cities would be to former levels. reduced, producing a direct environmental benefit. Congestion increases energy consumption and exhaust emissions. Shorter travel times would improve the quality of The set of mitigation strategies based on travel demand management must, in life of transport- users. addition to improving public transport systems, restricting private car use and introducing specific parking policies in central areas, also consider questions of land An urgent need exists for actions to be coordinated between the Federal, State and use and occupation.

The metropolitan regions would need special treatment, since transport problems Figure 52: Cost per Ton Avoided X Investments Required by Urban Demand Management are most severe in these areas. Congestion is heavy during much of the day, causing 130 131 (per annum up to 2030) substantial waste of fossil fuels and increasing levels of local pollutants and GHGs. The policies presented here are also incremental in nature. Effective monitoring and supervision of their implementation is vital for achieving the hoped-for results within the specified timeframe. The interventions presented individually in Group 2 call for coordination actions which prioritize public transport and discourage the use of private motor vehicles. The introduction of BRTs and the Metro (Group 1) needs to be coordinated by programs designed to improve urban mobility and ensure a better quality of life for people living in densely-populated cities. Restrictions on the use of private transport, by increasing parking costs in downtown areas can also be considered. Establishing parking lots on the outskirts of cities, integrated into public transport corridors, is also recommended for reducing the number of private cars in the most congested areas. Money from the possible establishment of traffic charging mechanisms (tolls) could be used to finance some public transport improvements. For the curve describing user social benefits the avoided costs were considered Source: Logit (2009) with a reduction of operational costs, trip-times, pollution and accidents.

Integrating a safe Figure 55: Cost Abatement Curves (present value) and attractive walking infrastructure and expanded bikeway networks into public- transport policies and systems can enhance the overall urban landscape and avoid significant amounts of CO2 emissions. These policies can be applied incrementally. Brazil´s largest cities in general do 136 137 not possess a cycling culture. Some cities have however begun to establish bikeways without reference to the municipal Master Plans. Some are isolated initiatives which fail to exploit the maximum potential of this mode of transport. In some smaller cities (in general those with under 50,000 inhabitants), bicycle use is more frequent. Given that the distances travelled are normally less than 5 km, cycling is part of local culture and contributes to environmental conservation. 4.2.4.3 Political Economy Scenario This scenario is basically one of gains, since the use of non-motorized transport contributes to local sustainability and encourages revitalization of urban areas, in terms of the need, for example, for local authorities and others to install safe places for bicycles to be kept and, in the case of pedestrians, the existence of well-maintained sidewalks, street furniture (shelters, benches etc) and other amenities. All of these initiatives serve to encourage enhanced use of cycling and walking, as well as reducing Source: Logit (2009) atmospheric emissions.

Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Technical Synthesis Report | TRANSPORT Source: Logit (2009) 4.2.4.1 Existing Policies The Ministry of Cities, through Secretariat of Mobility (SeMob), has issued a reference 4.3 Low-carbon Scenario for Ethanol - Increasing Proportion guide as an introduction to the Bicycle Mobility Plan (‘Bicicleta Brasil’) which underscores of Ethanol Consumption by “Flex-Fuel� vehicles the Ministry’s philosophy of “Sustainable Urban Mobility�. Although this policy is not mandatory, the SeMob guide contains information to be used by municipalities as a first Energy issues are considered as strategic concerns for the majority of countries, attempt to encourage more frequent bicycle use. particularly since the Industrial Revolution - when manufacturing, economic development and a good supply of energy (coal and wood) were crucially interlinked. The general thrust of this document is that bicycles should be integrated with other Over the years, oil products and oil-powered machines have played an increasing forms of public transport to generate fewer environmental impacts and make more rational role in technological development. The demand for oil and derivatives has grown use of public spaces. exponentially in line with economic development and the world is now totally In addition to the recommendations for bikeways, the PlanMob booklet contains a set dependent on them, with oil production highly concentrated in the Middle East. of proposals for upgrading pedestrian safety in urban areas, emphasizing the need for local Serious economic problems were caused in the main oil consuming countries by authorities to include pedestrian concerns in their transport and urban-planning agendas. the so-called “first and second oil shocks�. These crises led Brazil to seek an alternative. With the experience gained from producing and using alcohol as an alternative fuel to lessen vulnerability to energy shortages, the Brazilian government established the 4.3.1 Parameters for the Low-carbon Scenario National Alcohol Program (Proálcool) in 1975. The size of the flex-fuel fleet and the proportion of ethanol/gasoline consumption determines the level of pollutant emissions reductions in the low-carbon scenario for Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) has gone on to acquire significant importance in the national bio-ethanol. Two main parameters determine the substitution of gasoline by ethanol as energy matrix. However, since 1985, fluctuations in international oil prices tended a fuel for individual cars: (i) the share of flex-fuel vehicles in the national fleet; and (ii) 139 to narrow price differentials between gasoline and alcohol in the domestic market. the relative price of ethanol compared to gasoline for the final customer. Fuel distribution problems led to a shift in Brazilian energy policy which created a 138 fall in ethanol production. One problem was that attractive prices for sugar in the international market meant that much of the sugarcane produced in Brazil began to be directed towards producing sugar for export, thus undermining local production of 4.3.1.1 Assessing the Size of the Flex- Fuel Fleet For both the reference and low-carbon scenarios, projections were made of the sales alcohol. With a shortage of alcohol in the domestic market, confidence in the product of light vehicles according to type of fuel used, based on ANFAVEA statistics, correlated was undermined, followed by a substantial decline in the production of ethanol-fueled with GDP and population growth (as estimated in the PNE-2030). vehicles.

The dual-fuel engine developed with US technology works like a conventional petrol engine using a fixed ratio between the quantities of These figures point to a probable fleet in 2030 comprising 1% ethanol-fueled cars, alcohol and gasoline (E85). 8% gasoline-fueled cars and 92% for flex-fuel cars, as can be seen in the following table. Meanwhile in Brazil, the automotive industry chose to invest in the creation of engines which could use either hydrated alcohol ( E100) or gasoline (E22) or any Table 43 - Light Passenger Vehicle Fleet ( by Type of Fuel ) combination of both, automatically adapting to either or both fuels with no need for driver adjustments.

In order to ensure that ethanol is competitive compared to gasoline, the price of which is also subject to many 4.3.1.2 Proportion of Consumption Ethanol / Gasoline by “Flex-fuel� Fleet According to the PNE 2030, the figures for the reference scenario indicate that uncertainties, a sensible national fuel-pricing policy needs to be established, targeted consumption of bio-ethanol and gasoline in the transport sector (oil equivalent), which at encouraging ethanol consumption to replace gasoline. at present stands at approximately 37% for ethanol and 63% for gasoline, will be 53% for ethanol and 47% for gasoline by 2030. Given that gasoline will be gradually replaced In the models based on reference scenario figures, we adopted a parameter which by ethanol, substantial CO2 emissions savings will result even in the reference scenario. envisaged that the ratio of alcohol to gasoline consumption for the flex-fuel fleet would These savings can be considerably increased if the flex-fuel fleet were to use ethanol as be on average 60% - 40%. This parameter, which we believe is credible and observable 140 141 the main fuel. in practice, produces numbers which are consistent with the forecast contained in the PNE 2030. Consumer decisions to use gasoline or alcohol in flex-fuel cars is basically economic (i.e. the need to secure the best price on offer). According to Brazil’s National Petroleum, For the low-carbon scenario proposed here (the outcome of the above-mentioned Natural Gas and Bio-fuels Agency (ANP), ethanol was more attractive (in 2009) than “sensible national policy on fuel prices�), this fuel consumption ratio over the years will gasoline for customers in 17 states, less attractive in 5 states, and equivalent in another develop from the 2010 figure of 60% ethanol x 40% gasoline to gradually reach 79% 5. The main advantage of gasoline over ethanol is the higher per liter energy content of ethanol x 21% gasoline by 2030 – resulting in considerable emissions reductions. gasoline (70%). Table 44 below lists the states where the advantage of ethanol was more significant, Figure 57: Consumption Ethanol x Gasoline for Vehicle Fleet taking account of the fact that this fuel is more attractive to customers when its price is less than 70% of that of gasoline.

Note that the present value of Brazilian Government policies have traditionally focused on mitigating the effects the total cost of a tCO2 is US$7.00 - effectively one of the lowest among those calculated of high oil prices. From 1970 the fuel market went through four different stages, which for the mitigation measures presented here. portray the various fuel-substitution processes: Stage 1 - Petrol versus diesel: in an attempt to control inflation after the first oil shock, the government readjusted the price of diesel downward (to less than gasoline). Between 1973 and 1977 the price of the latter increased 107% and that of diesel 34%, resulting in a shift to diesel. Stage 2 - Gasoline versus alcohol: after the second oil shock, priority was given to reducing dependence on oil and substituting it for alcohol - development of which had already commenced with the establishment of the government´s Pro-Alcohol program in 1975. This process expanded with the launching of ethanol-fueled vehicles. By 1985, 85% of all vehicles produced in Brazil were dependent on alcohol. However, when oil prices fell, ethanol lost its competitive appeal and producers’ profits declined steeply. to avoid programs requiring either ad hoc or permanent subsidies; In this scenario alcohol production failed to keep up with demand, resulting in a serious to provide customers with flexible choices; • shortage by 1989/1990.

Emission reductions are 2.500 achieved by shifting part of the freight load and passenger trips from carbon-intensive 9 10 pass x Km/year to low- or zero-carbon transport modes (Figures 61 and 62). The most significant 2.000 modal shifts are from truck to rail (freight transport) and from use of private vehicles to BRT and Metro, along with measures for travel demand management (passenger 1.500 transport). 1.000 500 0 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 Cars & M´Cyclo Metro Urban Train Buses BRT HST Planes As result, the increase in sector emissions would be reduced from 60 percent in the reference scenario to only 18% in the low-carbon scenario. That is, from 247 in Low-carbon Scenario the reference scenario to 182 Mt CO2 per year in the low-carbon scenario in 2030, compared to 154 Mt CO2 in 2010, thereby avoiding a total of 487Mt CO2e, or 23 Mt CO2e per year on average (Table 49). 2.500 9 10 pass x Km /year The potential for emissions reduction appears limited, given that biofuels, which 2.000 are low carbon, play a large role in the reference scenario. For this reason, the study 154 155 simulated the sector emissions that would result if biofuels were substituted by fossil 1.500 fuels (mainly gasoline). In that case, reference-scenario emissions would be inflated by 50 percent in 2030 (45 percent in cumulative terms over the 2010–30 period), growing 1.000 from 143 Mt CO2 in 2008 to 371 Mt CO2 per year in 2030. By comparison, emissions in the low-carbon scenario would be 51 percent lower in 2030 than in the “fossil-fuel� 500 scenario (26% lower versus the reference scenario) (Figure 66) and 39 percent in cumulative terms over the 2010-30 period, that is 1.65 Gt CO2e less over the study 0 period. 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 Cars & M´Cyclo Metro Urban Train Buses BRT HST Planes These modal shifts reflect an important emissions reduction, totaling about 7.3 percent over the study period or 302 Mt CO2e. However, another significant mitigation potential of around 4.3 percent could be harvested over the same period by increasing the use of ethanol, and another 1.5 percent by managing the demand for trips (Figure 65). In this way, emissions would be reduced more than 13 percent.
