Kommunaalteenustega seotud veokite keskkonnamõju vähendamine Tallinnas

This 2011 report analyzes transport-related CO2e and pollutant emissions in Tallinn, finding that while overall vehicle mileage and GHG emissions rose by nearly 50% between 2000 and 2009, local pollutants like NOx and PM decreased due to better engine technology. It highlights that municipal service vehicles contribute about 10% of the city's transport CO2e, with city buses and waste trucks being the largest contributors. The report recommends implementing eco-driving training, which could save up to 2,660 tons of CO2e and nearly 1 million euros annually for municipal companies. Broader recommendations for Tallinn include congestion charging, low-emission zones, and prioritizing public transport and cycling over private car use.

• Between 2000 and 2009, vehicle mileage in Tallinn increased by nearly 50%, rising from 1,223 million vehicle-km in 2000 to 1,814 million vehicle-km in 2009. Private cars accounted for approximately 90% of this total mileage.
• CO2e emissions from Tallinn's traffic grew by nearly 50% from 2000 to 2009, increasing from 381 thousand tons to 574 thousand tons, with a peak of 639 thousand tons in 2007. Private cars were responsible for about 55% of these emissions, while trucks contributed 30-35%.
• Per capita CO2e emissions from transport in Tallinn rose from 0.95 tons in 2000 to 1.4 tons in 2009. In contrast, Stockholm saw a nearly 20% decrease in total road and rail CO2e emissions between 2000 and 2009, with per capita emissions at approximately 1 ton in 2009.
• While GHG emissions increased, local air pollutants decreased due to engine technology improvements: nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions fell by approximately 10% and fine particle (PM) emissions decreased by about 33%, primarily due to reductions in truck emissions.
• Thirteen major municipal service companies in Tallinn produced 53,000 tons of CO2e in 2010, representing about 10% of Tallinn's total transport CO2e emissions. City buses accounted for 50% of these emissions, and waste trucks for 25%.
• Implementing eco-driving (säästlik sõiduviis) among Tallinn's major municipal companies could reduce CO2e emissions by 1,330 to 2,660 tons annually and save between 0.46 and 0.93 million euros in fuel costs per year.
• The report identifies a gap between Tallinn's strategic goals and practice; while sustainable transport is a priority in documents, projects like the Tallinn Tram, integrated ticketing, and alternative fuel promotion have been repeatedly postponed.
• To reduce the environmental impact of municipal vehicles, the report recommends green procurement criteria, including preferences for eco-driving licenses, fuel-efficient tires, vehicles meeting at least Euro 4 standards, and sustainable alternative fuels like biogas.
• General recommendations for Tallinn's transport include implementing a congestion charge in the city center, establishing a city-wide low-emission zone, developing urban logistics, and prioritizing public transport and cycling over car-centric road space.
• In Estonia, transport accounts for 12% of GHG emissions, with 94% of that originating from road transport. The ratio of transport GHG emissions to GDP is among the highest in Europe.
