Transport Emissions Evaluation Models for Projects (TEEMP)

TEEMP is an excel-based model initially developed by the Clean Air Initiative Asia for evaluating the emissions impacts of ADB's transport project and has been modified and extended for GEF projects. The TEEMP tools are sketch models which enable the estimation of emissions in both “project” and “no-project” scenarios and can be used for evaluating short to long term impacts of projects. TEEMP primarily evaluates the impacts of transport projects on CO2 emissions and to some extent air pollutant emissions using data gathered during project feasibility and actual operations. The TEEMP tools have been developed in such a way that required input data are based on what data is available and easily accessible. A general transport emissions estimation manual, as well as project-specific emissions estimation tools are now available for roads construction and rehabilitation; railways; bus rapid transit (BRT); metro rail transit (MRT); bikeways; bike sharing schemes. Tools are also available for estimating the impacts of other transport strategies such as eco-driving, pay-as-you-drive insurance, pricing and commuter strategies. TEEMP is currently being enhanced to improve accuracy and functionality, and make it easier to use for widespread application in Asia, Latin America, and elsewhere.
