Abstract
The authors have developed the Ancillary-effects estimating model for Local governments to Improve Comprehensive Environment (ALICE) which calculates reduced air pollutant emissions by the greenhouse gas mitigation measures. The model developed here has been applied to a local government in order to estimate the concrete effects on air quality from the local government's greenhouse gas mitigation measures until 2010.
Main findings are as follows:
1) The greenhouse gas mitigation measures that will reduce carbon dioxides (CO2) emission by 23% with compared to a reference (without measures) case in 2010 would have effects decreasing both nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission and particulate matter (PM) emission by 11%.
2) In residential and commercial sectors the greenhouse gas mitigation measures would have equal or more effects on the emission reduction of NOx and PM as on CO2 emission reduction. On the other hand the measures, in industry and transport sectors, would have aquarter to half effects on the emission reduction of NOx and PM comparing on CO2 emission reduction.
3) The voluntary action program by steel industry and the decrease of emission factors of power generation would have significant effects on the emission reduction of CO2, NOx and PM.
4) The emission of NOx and PM in some areas would be decreased substantiallby yimplementing the greenhouse gas mitigation measures.
