A Case Study on Colombian Mitigation Actions

A Case Study on Colombian Mitigation Actions

This paper introduces the Colombian case study developed under the Mitigation Actions Plans and Scenarios Initiative and the Endesa Colombia Electric Vehicles Initiative. It is aimed to consider the use of electricity in the transportation sector, particularly in the city of Bogotá, Colombia. A mode...
