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

All

12.00 End of the meeting
