Swedish APPROACH

“lots of small things”

Overall Strategy

Objectives • Access

• Quality Service

• Safety

• A Good

Environment

• Sound Economic

Development

Some features

Multimodal transportation

corridor.

transit work through: efficient

service at reduced subsidy.

customer orientation in transit

by using surveys to identify

traveler preferences

4 ways to reduce oil dependency and

fossil CO2 from transportation!

Curb the uncontrolled growth of

transport

Increase energy efficiency

Increase the use of biofuels

Public Transportation

Swedish examples of sustainable

development and sustainable

transport include the following:

• Coordinating land use and

transportation in redeveloping and

preserving town centers

• building new towns at walk able densities

near transit.

• Designing, building, and reconstructing

transport facilities to reduce negative

impacts, e.g., putting highways

underground in the city and implementing

traffic calming.

• Experimenting with and implementing

new automotive technologies, including

alternate fuels, hybrid and alt-fuel buses

and government fleet vehicles, etc.

.

o Developing a sustainable

freight transport strategy

o improving rail freight; and

applying advanced logistics

to make freight operations

more efficient.

o Emphasizing health and

safety in transportation,

including a zero deaths

safety (grade separation,

traffic calming, in-vehicle

protection, and public

education)

• Targets for SL renewables • Trains

• SL shall only use electricity from

renewable sources (wind, hydro,

biomass)

• Buses

• 25 % renewables2006

• 50 % 2011

• 100 % 2025

For buses: Good and readily available alternatives

BIOGAS = clean burning /

benign emissions

Limited supply

Suitable for local traffic

It works!

ETHANOL = Volume and

infrastructure

Liquid – simple

infrastructure

Large volumes available

(internationally)

It works!

The worlds largest

ethanol fleet

• Biogas is a part of the Climate change solution

• Biogas is a renewable fuel

• natural degradable processes of waste products

• from households, restaurants and sewage treatment plants

• similar to natural gas CNG but renewable

• locally produced

Environmental enrichment, net

gain in Stockholm using

ethanol,biogas and RME in

buses

All inner city bus lines run on

renewables (250 buses)

• A total of 450 ethanol and 129

biogas buses in operation at

present

• Reduced diesel use by ca 18

million litres / year

• Reduced fossil CO2 by approx.

60 000 tonnes / year

• Reduced PM and NOx

The

number

game

Thank you!!!
