Description

The calculator supports cities and countries project the GHG Impact of their Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) and National Urban Mobility Policies (NUMPs). The MYC Emissions Calculator aims at helping developing countries and cities to calculate transport GHG emissions for a reference year and Business-as-usual scenario (BAU) as well as a climate scenario with emission reductions from mitigation measures – the so called climate scenario. As a result, the tool provides data on the calculated transport demand, energy consumption and GHG emissions.

Tool Outcome

The tool provides data on the calculated transport demand, energy consumption and GHG emissions. This data give an overview of the relevance of each transport mode regarding the total GHG emissions within the defined territory. It also enables users quantifying and monitoring the impact of a bundle of mitigation actions according to the “ASIF” methodology (Avoid, Shift, Improve and Fuel).
