Kommunaalteenustega seotud veokite keskkonnamõju vähendamine Tallinnas
Summary
The report analyzes transport-related emissions in Tallinn from 2000 to 2009, noting a significant increase in CO2e emissions driven primarily by private car usage. It evaluates various fiscal and regulatory measures to mitigate these impacts, with a specific focus on municipal service vehicles. The study finds that implementing eco-driving training for municipal fleets could reduce CO2e emissions by 1,330 to 2,660 tons annually and save between 0.5 and 1 million euros in fuel costs. Despite strategic goals for sustainable transport, the report concludes that Tallinn's actual progress is hindered by a continued focus on car-centric infrastructure.
Key insights
- Between 2000 and 2009, vehicle mileage in Tallinn increased by nearly 50%, with private cars accounting for approximately 90% of the total mileage.
- CO2e emissions from Tallinn's traffic rose from 381 thousand tons in 2000 to 574 thousand tons in 2009, peaking at 639 thousand tons in 2007.
- Private cars are the largest contributors to CO2e emissions in Tallinn (approx. 55%), followed by trucks (30-35%).
- Thirteen major municipal companies in Tallinn generate nearly 10% of the city's total transport CO2e emissions, with city buses contributing 50% and waste trucks 25% of that sector's total.
- Implementing eco-driving for municipal fleets is estimated to reduce CO2e emissions by 1,330 to 2,660 tons per year and provide financial savings of 0.46 to 0.93 million euros annually.
- The report identifies a contradiction in Tallinn's planning: while strategies emphasize sustainable transport, infrastructure projects often prioritize and facilitate increased car use and road freight.
- The study suggests that the most effective measures for reducing environmental impact in Tallinn include congestion charging in the center, city-wide low emission zones, and the development of urban logistics.
