Seoul, June 16 (BNA):  A South Korea-developed carbon emissions map system will be introduced in Uzbekistan as part of an urban planning pilot project supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

The system, supported by the ministry's research and development programme, was developed by Seoul-based geographic information system firm Sundosoft.  The company is set to sign a contract with the ADB after being selected as a partner for the bank's urban climate project.

The carbon emissions map system provides visualised data on emissions from buildings and transport infrastructure using data on building energy consumption and road traffic, according to Yonhap News Agency.

The pilot programme will first be implemented in the Jizzakh region of Uzbekistan over eight months, with plans to scale up to other regions of the country and neighbouring nations, according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of South Korea.
