TML calculated exhaust emissions from road transport for the period 1990 to 2030 using the multimodal European transport model TREMOVE, fully updating the Belgian input. The study included trend scenarios for mobility development and the effects of biofuels and A/C and analysed the impact of different scenarios on emissions, transport volumes, and tax revenues.
TML calculated exhaust emissions from road transport over the period 1990 - 2030 on behalf of the FPS Mobility and Transport and Febiac. The calculations are based on a trend scenario for mobility development. The study considers the effects of biofuels and air conditioning. Thanks to European standards, emissions of pollutants, nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), and volatile organic compounds (VOC) fall by 70-90%, despite an increase in transport volume. For carbon dioxide (CO2), responsible for global warming, we see a slight increase in emissions.
In addition, TML calculated the impact of three scenarios on emissions, transport volumes, tax revenues, and general welfare levels. A first scenario simulated an increase in transport costs, a second scenario simulated an increase in fuel prices, and a third scenario calculated the effects of an environment-related traffic tax. For the first two scenarios, we see a slight decrease in emissions; for the last scenario, we see an early decrease in particulate matter emissions.
TML used the multimodal European transport model TREMOVE for the calculations. The Belgian input for the model was fully updated for this project.
