The sustainability transition – part 1. Why transport requires energy and climate focus
Meetings
NTM Autum meeting – Transport energy use and energy efficiency
The most significant technical, organisational and financial challenge for the transport sector is its climate impact, specifically greenhouse gas emissions and the associated dependence on fossil energy. Globally, we use approximately 100 million barrels of oil per day. Of this, 60 million barrels are used for transport services, with 25–30 million barrels dedicated to freight transport.
This seminar aims to; improve our understanding of the energy challenge ahead, provide insight on available levers to reduce energy use, exemplify how progress can be accomplished in a supply chain and demonstrate how NTMCalc 5.0 can support energy savings.
NTM have invited international leading experts to give their thoughts on the topic. Do not miss this opportunity to learn more and register now. Read also the first part of a series of practical advice papers on the topic to be published onwards.
Agenda
10.00 Welcome and fly in on the topic
Using less energy is the obvious (necessary) first step towards fossil free transport
Why is energy savings in single vehicles or vessels relatively simple but savings in transport system very complex?
NTM Chairman, Fredrik Larsson
10.10 The transport system present and expected use of energy
Pierpaolo Cazzola gives an overview of present and future global transport energy supply situation regarding passenger and freight transport
Pierpaolo Cazzola, UC Davis
10.40 How to accomplish energy savings in logistics
Professor Alan McKinnon elaborates on the levers; managing freight transport demand, shifting to more energy-efficient modes of traffic, improving capacity utilisation, increasing vehicle energy efficiency.
Professor Alan McKinnon, KLU/Herriot-Watt
11.10 Case study Ahlsell (Nordic wholesale company) and project Spara (save)
Concrete actions to slow down, but still deliver just in time to reduce energy use.
Associate professor David Gundlegård and Professor Anna Fredriksson, Linköping University
11.30 Exploring energy saving potentials through NTMCalc 5.0
NTM Initiative on energy savings and how to use NTMCalc 5.0 in energy saving measures evaluation.
Director NTM, Magnus Swahn
11.45 How to move forward – Discussion

Lecture on reduced emissions through more efficient packaging solutions
Actions to reduce emissions of Greenhouse gases are often too narrow-minded about fuels, vehicles and modes of traffic. An often-overlooked area of actions are smarter protection and packaging of goods in order to transport more goods with equivalent product protection with the same vehicle or vessel. This reduces emissions of greenhouse gases while lowering costs.
During a one-hour introductory lecture with practical examples, we listen and discuss the subject with Sweden’s leading researchers in packaging logistics, Professor Henrik Pålsson at Lund University of Technology.
