Different types and usage of vehiclesDifferent types and usage of vehicles
• Unregistered vehicles• Overloading• Limited maintenance
Debate
• Contribution of vehicular sector
• Which vehicles for which pollutants
• Road map for future norms
• Effect on air quality
Are the current BS norms enough to meet air quality standards ?
Do we need to continually advance them ?
What is the effect of introducing better quality fuel in India and its cities ?

TERI integrated modelling approach
Objective : To study the impact of improvement of fuel quality and vehicular emission norms in India on the ambient air quality, and subsequently on the human health

Scenario analysis
Scenario Description BAU Based on the current plans and policies of the government
without any further intervention. BS-III all across the country and BS-IV in 13 cities
ALT-I Introduction of BS-IV all across the country by 2015 ALT-II Introduction of BS-IV all across the country by 2020 ALT-III Introduction of BS-IV all across the country by 2015 and BS-V
in 2020 ALT-IV Introduction of BS-IV all across the country by 2015 and BS-VI
in 2020

Reduction in PM2.5 conc. (ALT-IV-2030)

Avoided mortalities- ALT-IV scenario

Benefits could be larger ..
• Health impacts of only PM • NOx, CO, VOCs and O3 may additionally or
synergistically aggravate the impacts
• Agricultural impacts of Ozone and other pollutants
• Climate benefits are additional• Reduction in PM will reduce black carbon
concentrations too

• Aim- To assess the improvement in air quality due to interventions in transport sector
• City: Bangalore
• Air quality model – CMAQ
• Emission inventory – Source apportionment study (2x2 km²)• PM, NOx, CO, SO2, VOCs
• Meteorological fields – WRF models runs
• Boundary conditions- from National scale runs
• Period – December, 2010 (to assess worst season air quality)
City level analysisSumit Sharma, V. Ramanathan

Emission Inventory – Source apportionment study
• Total pollution load
• PM10 - 54.4 T/d
• NOX – 217.4 T/d
• SO2 – 14.6 T/d

Future projections
• Future year 2030
• Growth assessed based on city development plans, mobility plans
• Annual growth of 3-4% assumed based on projected demands
• Domestic sector projections based on population growth • Rest other emissions assumed to be same as current
• BAU scenario• Transport sector emissions remained almost same as current
levels • Introduction of BS-IV norms negated the growth in emissions
caused by incerased number of vehicles
• ALT scenario • BS-VI introduced from 2020• Transport sector emissions reduced by 50%.
23
Future projections : Effect on air quality
• 20% reduction in PM2.5 concentrations• Many areas start meeting the standards
24
Future projections : EC also reduced . may affect the local climate
25
Conclusions
• Uniform fuel quality ‘One country, one fuel and one standard’ in India helps in reducing emissions
• Effects of advancing the norms are substantial at both National and urban scales
• A city like Bangalore, can achieve the standards with introduction of advanced norms.
