Abstract

The Aburrá Valley has high air pollution levels, and at various points the legal maximum levels of emissions are exceeded, with impacts on human well-being. The two-page policy brief provides insights regarding conversion/adoption of natural gas fuels in vehicles to offset emissions. It offers information towards a more general discussion on the implication of using economic incentives to encourage alternative fuels.
