| Popis: | This study describes a model to calculate energy consumption and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by the road transport sector in Argentina from 1960 to 2050. The model analyses different mitigation scenarios to determine effective options to produce a sensitive decrease in carbon emissions. The results of this study show that by reducing the use of private vehicles while increasing the use of public transport, combined with a high rate of conversion of gasoline vehicles into hybrid electric vehicles, CO2 emissions could be reduced up to 9% (or 7.7 Tg). However, without further technological improvements and higher modal transfer to low carbon/less energy-intensive modes, it will be difficult to obtain emission stabilisation of transport emissions under 80 Tg by 2050, which represent approximately twice the current values.
