Email this article Forecasting CO2 Emissions from Libya’s Transport Sector
Abstract
This paper presents an innovative approach to forecast carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the transport sector in Libya. The method combines machine learning algorithms with historical data and future estimates. The research built a model that took into account factors such as population growth, rates of car ownership, patterns of fuel consumption and government regulations in order to provide an accurate forecast of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions over the next decade based on the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM). The authors used a variety of statistical time series models to forecast future CO2 emissions from Libya's transportation sector. These models included the exponential smoothing model (ESM) and the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA). The ARIMA model outperformed the ESM model, achieving an R2 of 0.931 and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.040 Mt CO2. The results of the study found that CO2 emissions from Libya's transport sector could increase by 27.98% and 57.99% in 2030 and 2050, respectively. The study proposed six transportation theories to reduce CO2 emissions from Africa's and Libya's transport sectors. The identified factors encompass price systems, land use planning, eco-driving, electric automobiles, bicycle infrastructure, and telecommuting. The authors also examined the needs to reduce CO2 emissions from Libya’s transport sector in order to meet the International Energy Agency’s ambitious targets for reducing CO2 emissions from the global transport sector. These needs arise due to increasing urbanization, population growth, underinvestment in public transportation infrastructure, and the increasing incidence and severity of heat waves. Additionally, hypothetical scenarios are presented to demonstrate the importance of further reducing CO2 emissions from these sectors to match the projections of global change assessment models.
