The The role of Street condition and forms on the amount of carbon emissions released from vehiclesA Casestudy of Helmiet EL-Zaitoun, Cairo, Egypt

SUMMARY

Over the past two centuries, mankind has increased the concentration of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere from 280 to more than 380 parts per million by volume, and it is still increasing every day. If Earth continue to emit carbon without control, the surface temperature is expected to rise by 3.4°C by the end of this century. The climate change of that magnitude would likely have serious, long-lasting and, in many cases, devastating consequences for planet Earth. Egypt has become one of the biggest emitters of atmospheric pollutants from the road transportation sector, globally. The level of carbon emissions and its effect on air quality is placed high on the research agenda. Achieving sustainable communities and cities by reducing carbon emissions using Streetscape and roads is the main concern of this paper, Transportation sector has a great impact on increasing the Co2 emissions, the transportation and traffic sector produce about quarter of the global Co2 emissions, due to the use of fossil fuels. This paper presents an analysis of road transportation in Egypt, taking Helmiet EL-Zaitoun as the main case study with focus on energy demand and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Carbon emissions is measured using instrument testo 315-3 to identify the relation between street design and carbon emission.
