Greenhouse gas emissions to 2020: projected trends for Australian transport

The BTRE has recently projected greenhouse gas emissions and energy use by the Australian transport sector using two different methods (both of which give similar results for aggregate forecast trends): 1. modelling transport sub-sectors (typically using vehicle fleet models), and then aggregating to sector totals (here termed a 'bottom-up' approach); and 2. modelling the sector as a part of the total economy (a 'macro modelling' or 'top-down' approach) typically derived using an economy-wide General Equilibrium.
