Carbon Footprint of the Kuwaiti Public Road Transport Industry

摘要

Throughout the last fifty years, Kuwait's population has grown and its oil exploration has produced massive economic changes. That has led to high vehicle demand. As a result air pollution is increasing in urban areas in particular. The objective of the paper was to measure, in compliance with IPCC recommendations and the national fuel prices, carbon emissions of the State of Kuwait road travel between 2001 and 2015. There is no plan to increase the annual vehicle rise of 9%. This study looks into the contribution of road transport to CO_2 emissions. Therefore, in order to encourage sustainable forms of transport, a policy strategy is to be set in motion to reduce the carbon footprint of highway transport.
