What is the problem? – PM 10 concentrations in central London in 2011 without the Strategy

NOx emissions sources in Greater London

Page 6: Simon Cousin - (Esborrany de l’Alcalde de Londres sobre l’estratègia de la qualitat de l’aire)

Reducing emissions from transport (1)

New smarter travel schemes – building on existing initiatives• Promoting eco-driving

• Travel plans (inc freight)

• Anti-idling campaigns and enforcement

Promoting cleaner vehicles• Electric Vehicle Delivery Plan• Procurement processes

Tailored action plans for priority locations (from summer 2010).• Power washing streets and applying dust suppressants

• Redeploying cleanest buses

• Traffic management

Reducing emissions from public transport• Bus NOx retrofit • Age based limits for taxis and PHVs

Page 7: Simon Cousin - (Esborrany de l’Alcalde de Londres sobre l’estratègia de la qualitat de l’aire)

Reducing emissions from transport (2)

Low Emission Zone:• Tighter standard for lorries, buses and coaches from 2012

• Vans and minibuses included from 2012• New NOx standard for lorries, buses and coaches from 2015

Air Quality Action Days and Special Measures• Special measures during extreme pollution episodes

• Planned regular events to encourage mode shift to cycling and walking.

Page 8: Simon Cousin - (Esborrany de l’Alcalde de Londres sobre l’estratègia de la qualitat de l’aire)

Reducing emissions from non-transport sources

Updating construction and demolition Best Practice Guidance :

• Review and update early in 2011.

• Giving Guidance statutory status in planning process to assist enforcement• Ensure included in major planning applications

Better use of planning system:• New developments to be ‘air quality neutral’ or better – using planning

process for ‘offsetting’• Emissions limits and abatement requirements for new biomass boilers

Energy efficient schemes for homes and workplaces

Urban realm programmes

Encouraging innovation

Barriers to delivery

Around 40 per cent of PM10 concentrations in central London originate from outside London.

And around 20 per cent of NO2 concentrations in Greater London originate from outside London.

35 per cent of PM10 emissions from road transport are from tyre and brake wear – which cannot be regulated.

Lack of policy levers.

Lack of funding.

Knowledge gaps (eg. emissions v concentrations).

Page 12: Simon Cousin - (Esborrany de l’Alcalde de Londres sobre l’estratègia de la qualitat de l’aire)

Working with UK Government

We believe that PM10 limit values will be met by 2011.

But on its own London cannot meet NO2 limit values by 2015.

London requires funding from UK Government to implement this Strategy.

UK Government needs to implement national measures:

� Extended vehicle scrappage schemes

� Use of tax incentives� Certification scheme for NOx abatement equipment

� National framework for LEZs – and financial support

� Grant schemes for vehicle retrofit� Rail electrification

� Funding for new low-emission technology

� Funding for and restructuring of energy efficiency schemes� Publicity campaigns

� Targeted information to those at risk.12
