| Gwilliam, Kenneth G. | - The Role of Natural Gas in the Transport Sector
Natural gas is a relatively clean transport fuel. which has been promoted both by government and industry in a number of countries. But not all promotional efforts have been successful, for good economic reasons. In the light of international experience this note considers the circumstances in which natural gas may play an important role, and attempts to identify appropriate policies for establishing that role in developing countries. - Transport Fuels Taxes and Urban Air Quality
In developing country cities, fuel use for transport is a growing contributor to air pollution and environmental health risks. One way of applying the "polluter pays " principle to transport is to adjust fuel taxes to reflect environmental externalities. But in setting tax rates on fuels, many factors need to be considered. - Urban Air Pollution - How Can Urban Bus Policy Reduce Air Pollution?
Buses are essential to everyday life in South Asia. They affect urban air quality both directly by emitting air pollutants and indirectly by reducing the congestion and emissions caused by the many smaller vehicles which they replace. - Vehicular Air Pollution: Setting Priorities
Air pollution is viewed as a serious problem in many cities in South Asia. Many city governments hold transport largely responsible and have adopted, or are considering, technological measures to reduce vehicle emission. This note outlines a framework for the appraisal and selection of appropriate measures in the sector.
