摘要

政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)得出结论认为，气候变化是由人类活动引起的。本案例研究介绍了南非豪登省埃库胡莱尼省卫生部关于车辆使用的调查结果。本研究的目的是估计政府车队车辆的二氧化碳当量排放量，并确定减少车辆碳排放的缓解措施。使用了世界资源研究所温室气体议定书和联合王国环境、林业和农村事务部的方法。该研究显示，政府车队在2010年至2014年的五年期间排放了1362吨二氧化碳当量，相当于南非碳税的9071美元。报告建议了减少二氧化碳排放的各种措施，并确定了从燃料中节省资金和潜在的创收机会，包括使用混合动力汽车。

The carbon footprint of government health department fleet vehicles in Johannesburg, South Africa – a case study

ABSTRACT The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that climate change is caused by human activities. This case study presents findings on the vehicle use by the Department of Health in Ekurhuleni, Gauteng province, South Africa. The objectives of this study are to estimate the carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of government fleet vehicles and to identify mitigation measures to reduce the vehicle carbon emissions. Both the World Resource Institute Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP) and the United Kingdom Department of Environmental Forestry and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) methodologies were used. The study revealed that the government fleet vehicles emitted 1362 t CO2e for a five year period (2010 − 2014), which is equivalent to $ 9 071 of the South African carbon tax. Various measures to reduce CO2e emissions were recommended, money saving from fuel and potential revenue generating opportunities were identified, including the use of hybrid vehicles.
