Elaboración de una propuesta de un plan de desarrollo energéticamente eficiente y de bajas emisiones para el sector de transporte de pasajeros en la Ciudad de Quito

Abstract

The present work proposes an energy efficient and low emission development plan for the transport of passengers in the City of Quito, using transport modalities, which enable energy saving, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and savings economic for Ecuador. For this purpose, a prospective study was carried out for the period 2015 -2035, where three scenarios of evolution of the Sector were analyzed: one trend, with the participation of the transport modalities present in the base year; and two alternatives where energy efficiency measures were simulated with different intensity, such as: public transport electric systems such as the "Metro de Quito", 100% electric buses, electric taxis and the urban cable car; the overcrowding of the use of hybrid and 100% electric private vehicles and the greater penetration of conventional low power cars. The study was complemented with a sensitivity scenario regarding the penetration of biogasoline "Ecopaís" (mixture of gasoline and ethanol). As a result of the simulation, energy, environmental and economic indicators were obtained for each of the scenarios, based on which the proposal for the development plan of the Sector was structured for the study period.
