The importance of cities

GHG annual emissions for cities

City Emission

São Paulo 0,015 GtCO2eq (2009)

Rio de Janeiro 0,022 GtCo2eq (2012)

Curitiba 0,003 GtCO2eq (2008)

Belo Horizonte 0,002 GtCO2eq (2007)

Brazil 1,24GtCO2eq (2010)

Energy consumption by sectors (2013)

Brazilian populations and projections (in millions of people)

• The annual emissions are greater than the level consistent with the objective of 2 degrees at the end of the century (estimated 50 GtCO2eq base year 2010), i.e. 20% more than in 2000.

• Countries presented their pledges but there is much doubt about compliance. If they meet what they promised the gap will be 8 GtCO2eq in 2020.

• In other words: There is a gap of 8 Gt CO2eq by 2020, to bring emissions to 44 GtCO2eq. The expectation is that we are in 2020 with an emission of 58 GtCO2eq.

Facts

How to reduce this gap?

• Numbers close to a small cities;

• Area - 5,2 km²;• Estimate population 60.000

people;• Circulation of 100.000

University City in numbers

Financing:Fund made up by the exempt of an Cidade Universitária UFRJ campus energy consumption taxation (ICMS tax)

Management:

A council formed by public and private sector, plus researches with largely known in sustainability areas and universities administration.

Aims:Develop and financing projects in the infrastructure and energy fields.

Target:Strengthen as if a Benchmarking in sustainability, innovation and cutting edge technology.

• Regarding the fleet of vehicles belonging to the Cidade Universitária - UFRJ, it was found that the captive fleet is responsible for 83% of the monthly issue of; and,

• Additionally, considering only contracted and captive fleets, it was found that fuel, gasoline and diesel, account for 92% of emissions of of the UFRJ Cidade Universitária.

UFRJ Fleet Sharing A sharing system of the university campus fleet, supported by software for smartphones, able to manage online demand from UFRJ vehicle users, in Ilha do Fundão campus. The Pilot Project has 30 cars from UFRJ and provide opportunities and results such as:Cultural Change; Rational use;Defining optimal fleet; Emission reduction.

Mobility programproject to develop campus circulation

Support the internal campus mobilityWith the idea of expanding the transport modes in the Cidade Universitária - UFRJ, Fundo Verde It offers two golf cars and a van to integrate the Green Fund Mobility program.

Encouraging active transport intracampusA series of studies and interventions, conducted with the aim of encouraging the use of bicycles on campus. Among the projects already completed or in conclusion are: installation of bike racks around campus; and, expansion of the cycling network in the Fundão ( 5 km ). Among the studies for future implementation, a Bike Sharing system, in which the initial project includes the installation of 29 stations with 400 bicycles. (ITDP, 2014)

Other projects:Comparison between electric X gas vehicle

Project whit the aim of contribute in the discussion about electric X gas vehicle performance.The proposed tests will present data of emissions factors and performance of the vehicles , among others.

Biofuel on Campus

Project Numbers• A biodiesel pilot project collected in a month

approximately 770 L of oil in 8 (eight ) restaurants of Cidade Universitária;

The van, part of the "support the internal campus mobility" project, can be fill with biodiesel ( 100% ), produced by the oil collected in restaurants inside UFRJ. Not only the Van could be fill with this fuel, but also the vehicle used to collect the oil in the restaurants.

The path to recycling used oil

Restaurants give the residual frying oil.

The oil is stored and transported in “bombonas”.

Collection carried out by truck fueled with Biodiesel.

UFRJ Biodiesel laboratory produce and test the quality of the biodiesel.

Van is fueled with biodiesel, increasing intracampus transportation options

Final Remarks

• Biofuel is one of the alternatives to reduce GHG emission at the campus site;

• Mobility is the main area concerning GHG emissions at UFRJ campus;

• The Green Fund mobility project also aims to improve the mobility in the campus and in the access to them;

• All Green Fund activities must reduce the GHG emissions.
