Abstract

BACKGROUND INFORMATION • Population density of Tokyo City in 2023 is 15,483 persons per km2 • In 2022, the bus transport generated 3.3 million tonnes of CO2 nationwide, and most of them are concentrated in big cities • The Japanese government target of carbon neutrality by 2050 will require the bus fleet to be transitioned to zero emission technology PURPOSE OF THE STUDY • Investigate the optimal transition to zero emission BEBs and FCBs in the Central Tokyo Area for the period of 2025-2050. • Examines the life-cycle GHG emissions reduction • Examines the differential total cost of BEBs and FCBs compared with conventional diesel buses • Examines the marginal cost of the life-cycle GHG emissions reduction
