Pakistan’s Transport Sector Modeling Using AIM/Enduse

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Pakistan is actively exploring sustainable transportation solutions, considering environmental impact, and economic development.By adopting more sustainable modes of transport and investing in infrastructure, Pakistan can pave the way toward a greener and more efficient future.Leveraging the AIM/Enduse framework, we analyze the energy and environmental impact using Baseline (BL) and Counter Measure (CM) scenarios.Our findings indicate, with penetration of 30%, 50%, and 100% green vehicles into the existing transport system, Pakistan may save 5 MTOE, 11 MTOE, and 24.6 MTOE of energy in 2030, 2040, and 2050, respectively.Similarly, it will also reduce CO 2 emissions by 22 MtCO2eq, 41 MtCO2eq, and 104 MtCO2eq in respective years.
