Estimation of the input data for the prediction of road transportation emissions in Spain from 2000 to 2010 considering several scenarios

The main results of the study are the emission series for a wide collection of pollutants, although the research process and the methodology followed led to secondary results of equal statistical value in terms of precision and degree of deaggregation (determined by the COPERT III Methodology categorization of vehicles). These scenario-based series constitute an illuminating forecast of road transportation pollutant emissions in Spain, allowing to predict the effect of future pollutant emission regulations as well as to identify the necessity for CO2 emission-reduction policies in order to comply with Kyoto protocol levels.
