Abstract: A simple model of urban passenger transport was developed using computer based software called Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP), the model was used to carry out a research associated with urban passenger transport in Beijing to analyze the situation of energy consumption and environmental emissions ofCO2, CO, CH4, N2O, NOx, and SO2 for the base year 2012 and extrapolated till 2030 for the future predictions. The paper established four scenarios of business as usual, public transport, new energy vehicle, and P&N, and assessed the energy consumption and environmental emissions reduction potential of each scenarios in order to propose an optimal transport policy which have an excellent effect on reducing energy consumption and environmental emissions.

Abstract: This paper presented coal consumption of electricity generation in Qingdao, Shandong Province, under different energy scenarios with LEAP 2010. And, time-serial emission inventory of As was also built based on fuel consumptions. The results show that the coal consumption will increase by 3.5 times ,amounting to 4.92 million tces under BAU scenario. The total emission of As is 2.7 Mtces with an average annual growth rate of 6.6%.

Abstract: With the continuous development of the economic economy, the demands for automobiles in Jilin province increase constantly. The carbon emission control of transportation department will become one of the key fields for greenhouse gas control in Jilin province. This paper employs the LEAP Model, through setting Baseline scenario and Low-carbon scenario, to imitate the long-term energy demand and carbon emission of urban passenger transport in Jilin province. Then after the comparative analysis, this paper investigates the major impact elements and feasible paths for Jilin’s transportation industry carbon emission.

Abstract: Transportation industry is an important field to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Scenario analysis of transportation industry can provide theoretical support to the formulation and implementation of carbon emissions reduction policy. In view of this, The transportation industry of Jiangxi province will be given into four departments including civil aviation, railways, highways and waterways, and it was used the LEAP model to set three scenarios in the different application of economic development mode and different traffic development mode, then forecasted the main carbon emissions of Jiangxi transportation industry in 2010-2030, and analyzed the result of forecasting. It shown that the way to ease the nervous energy supply and the pressure of carbon emissions, and achieve the sustainable development of energy and the environment, must be set the four departments of reasonable transportation distribution under the condition of different energy sources, and increase the scope of using the new energy and renewable energy.
