Outline of Final Research Achievements

Is infrastructure export from developed countries to developing countries contributing to greenhouse gas (GHGs) reduction? In this study to estimate GHGs reduction effects of infrastructure projects conducted by Japan in developing countries in the past. The main results are, 1) there is large GHGs reduction effect in thermal power station, and 2) in the traffic sector, the GHGs reduction effect by shifting from road to railroad is large. Effective in developing countries increasing transport demand. However, when the country where the energy efficiency of power generation sector is bad conducts to train business, it was indicated that there is a possibility that the GHG amount of emission is rather increased. Overall infrastructure design from upstream to downstream is important.
