Simtrans (developed in 1999-2000)

An attempt to analyze the dynamics of the freight transportation market in France (Road, Rail, Inland waterways)

Funded as a Research Program

SimTrans-Co2 (2001-2002)

Explore the consequences of the Kyoto protocol and the implementation of an emission credit trade system

Commissioned by ADEME (National Environmental Agency)

Simtrans + + an analysis of the effect of the Kyoto protocol


To applyTo apply

The Kyoto protocol aims at reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases responsible for global warming

In EU, the transportation sector is to blame for 28% of emissions of CO2

CO2 emissions from transportation are expected to increase by around 50% by 2010


Source : GRID-Arendal in co-operation with the secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for the 7th Conference of the Parties (COP-7) to the Convention, held in Marrakesh, Morocco 29th October to 9th November 2001.
