One of the biggest challenges in Europe is the collection and interpretation of data related to the transport sector, which makes mobility policies unsubstantiated, chaotic, and unreliable. A consortium of environmental organisations in Europe  are launching a tool that analyses CO2 emissions in passenger transports, based on occupation and load factors.

What?

Climate Analytics (Berlin), 2Celsius (Romania), and WiseEuropa (Poland) will launch The Transport Emissions Disaggregation Tool – TEDiT. This instrument shows the impact of different factors such as public transport frequency, load factor  and emissions intensity of cars, buses, rail, trams, metro, aviation, cycling and walking (!)  on total greenhouse gas emissions from passenger transport and mobility. The tool covers  the European Union as a whole (EU27), and particularly a few national levels such as Poland, Hungary, Lithuania and Romania.

TEDiT was developed by a consortium of five organisations led by Climate Analytics in the framework of the “Beyond Best Practices in the Passenger Transport Sector” funded by the European Climate Initiative of the German government.

Where and when?

The organizers are proposing a 2-hour workshop in the Conference Room at Mundo-b (Rue d’Edimbourg 26, 1050 Ixelles, Brussels region, Belgium) on the 27th of June 2023 at 14.00.
