The impact of the economic crisis and policy actions on GHG emissions from road transport in Spain

Abstract: HIGHLIGHTSDrivers contributing to GHG emissions of road transport are identified and analyzed. Decomposition analysis based on Modified Laspeyres Index (MLI) is applied to the Spanish case. Economic crisis and changes in mobility patterns and GHG emissions are analyzed. Policies for the decarbonization of road transport are recommended. ABSTRACTRoad traffic is the greatest contributor to the carbon footprint of the transport sector and reducing it has become one of the main targets of sustainable transport pol… Show more

“…Macroeconomic variables such as per capita income levels, unemployment rates or fuel prices have an important influence on transport demand (Cordera et al, 2015). Many academic studies of the effects of the global economic crisis provide evidence that some changes in transport behaviour originated during the recessionary phases (Rothengatter, 2011;Sobrino and Monzón, 2014;Campos-Soria et al, 2015). In Australia, where the impact of the crisis was much lower than in other countries, the baby boomers switched to more environmentally friendly travel modes at the beginning of the financial crisis (Kamruzzaman et al, 2014).…”

“…The motorization rate has remained more or less stable in this period, with the highest level in 2007, 486 veh/1,000 inhab., and 471 veh/1,000 inhab. in 2013 (Sobrino and Monzón, 2014;Dirección General de Tráfico). With respect to transport demand indicators, both the use of urban public transport and the vehicular traffic peaked in 2007, then decreased until 2013 (11.1% and 14.1%, respectively) and recovered slightly in 2014 (Ministerio de Fomento, 2014).…”

“…Currently, the Log Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) [12][13][14] and Laspeyre [15][16][17][18] are the two most widely used kinds of decomposition algorithms in energy consumption studies. These two algorithms reflect changes in energy consumption by different quantified factors.…”

“…Para el caso específico de España, están los análisis de las consecuencias de la crisis en el impacto medioambiental del sector transporte (Mendiluce, Pérez-Arriaga, y Ocaña, 2010;Sobrino y Monzon, 2014;Zafrilla, López, Cadarso, y Dejuán, 2012), análisis generales de las secuelas en las ciudades españolas (Méndez y Prada-Trigo, 2014;Nel·lo y Donat, 2014;Trullén y Galletto, 2011) o análisis de los impactos en aspectos parciales de la movilidad cotidiana (Pitarch y Cano Maestro, 2012).…”

“…En periodos de crecimiento económico como el que protagonizó España entre 1990-2007, la motorización y las distancias viajadas tienden a aumentar (Nielsen, 2015). Así, Sobrino et al (2014) documentan para el caso español una primera etapa 1990-1997 con un gran crecimiento del parque automovilístico, y una segunda etapa anterior a la crisis (2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007) donde las condiciones de bonanza econó-mica permitieron aumentar enormemente la cilindrada de los vehículos en circulación. Esta alza de la capacidad de acceso al vehículo privado, junto con la burbuja inmobiliaria y el incremento de los cambios de residencia hacia áreas urbanas periféricas, creó una estructura urbana dispersa y monofuncional que, terminó por aumentar la dependencia del automóvil (Bayona i Carrasco y Pujadas, 2014).…”
