Design technology, tools and software

=> assist in assessing, designing and planning low carbon transport

-> technology of the built environment and the physical basis of transport systems

-> technology and infrastructure that enable transport systems to function

-> fuel technologies can transform the carbon emissions of vehicles

-> New vehicle technology can significantly reduce carbon emissions

Many of the actions proposed in the Country Reports are comparatively low-tech and low cost and offer several co-benefits

The main focus is on public transportation systems and cleaner vehicles and fuels, but soft technologies matter!

Some listed high-cost options (like hydrogen engines) will be difficult to implement.

TNA-Handbook and TechWiki improved considerably.

Conclusion

Variation in structure & quality limits standardized analysis

Industry, Building & Residential: Energy efficient techn. for hh/residential most frequently addressed & easily available

Transport: Cleaner technologies & public transportation most often addressed & mostly available

Information and funding needs most frequently expressed

Need to link to NAMAs and NAPAS?UNDP (2010)

Recommendations

Keep reports short and focused Focus on country-specific informationAvoid general descriptions of technologies Include non-technological options in

TNAssess/ClimateTechWiki (e.g. DSM)Don‘t forget already adopted options (e.g. wind

energy for water pumping, Public transport…)Continue/increase technical support for TNA
