Energy Scenarios

BRT key to meeting global energy targets

Energy Scenarios

Source: IEA data

Upcoming: “Energy Technology Perspectives 2012”BRT in the world’s 1 000 largest cities would provide tremendous mobility benefits, along with significant fuel savings and CO2 reductions

If implemented widely enough, BRT can contribute substantially to global CO2 savings, potentially up to 0.5 GtCO2 cumulative in the 2010 to 2050 time frame

Energy Scenarios

Light Rail BRT Metro

CO2 intensity (gCO2/pkm) 4 to 22 14 to 22 3 to 21

Capital cost (USD millions/km) 13 to 40 5 to 27 27 to 330

Network length that can be built for USD 1 billion (km) 25 to 77 37 to 200 3 to 37

World network length in 2011 (km) 15 000 2 139 10 000

Capacity (thousand passengers per hour per direction) 2 to 12 10 to 35 12 to 45
