Cutting Carbon Emissions

[Jonbummer]

there are total 5 areas to the reducing

carbon emission in Singapore from STI:

 

Power Generations

Industry

Transport

Buildings

Household

 

two interesting points for the proposal for

transports (cars, i reckon) in cutting carbon emission

 

* Mandatory fuel economy labelling

(will cars with better FE/FC be cheaper in the

future?

or with the 'sudden' demand it actually becomes

more expensive?

who will verified if the stated

FE/FC by car makers be of the real deal and be of

local context?)

 

cultivating fuel-efficient habits

everyone return to driving centre and have lesson

on how and how not to accel?

TRANSPORT

 

Aim: Minimise emissions by managing usage,

improving fuel efficiency and promoting use

of cleaner fuels and green vehicles.

Vehicle population in 2006: 776,571.

 

Existing:

 

Mechanisms like the Certificate of Entitlement

system, Electronic Road Pricing, and schemes

like car sharing and Park-and-Ride.

 

Taxes pegged to engine capacity and petrol tax

based on volume.

 

Voluntary fuel economy labelling.

 

Green vehicle rebate.

 

Proposed:

Mandatory fuel economy labelling,

further support for the use of vehicles using

compressed natural gas,

review of the green vehicle rebate,

cultivating fuel-efficient habits and

promoting public transport and car-pooling.
