Environmental performance of multi-modal transport

chains

Raul CarlsonSweden



ContentsContents

• Present Viktoria institute• How environmental performance of multi-modal

transports are calculated• Some of the difficulties with calculating environmental

performance of multi-modal transports• Ongoing efforts to develop and harmonize calculation

and reporting



Viktoria institute

A non-profit IT-research institute located in Gothenburg in Sweden

Viktoria institute is part of Swedish ICT, mainly owned by government

Focusing on automotive and transport informatics, i.e.:•Electromobility•Cooperative Systems•Open Vehicle•Vehicle Diagnostics•Sustainable Transport

Standards and definitions of environmental performance important for guidance and target setting for research, development and innovation.

Environmental issues of transport

Resource consumption•Consumption of fossil fuel•Consumption of other mineral•Land use•Other resource consumption

Climate change•Emission of CO2, N2O, Methane, etc•Biological uptake

Bio diversity•Direct: Land use, toxic substances•Indirect: Climate change

Human health•Direct: Particles, toxic substances, stress, accidents •Indirect: Land use, Climate change



Transport environmental performance indicators – in line with ISO 14031

Resource consumption•Fuel use•Land use•Water footprint(the latter two much related to bio fuels)

Contribution to climate change:•CO2e emissions

Combustion and motion emissions•Particles•CO•NOx•SOx(much related to local air quality and regional environmental matters)

Recycling emissions•Metals•Flame retardants•Recycling chemicals(much related to electric and hybrid vehicles)

Management system:•Existence of PDCA based EMS system (much related to ability to improve and respond)

Noise and vibrations•No available indicator

• All indicators should be normalized to transport work

• Additional indicators may apply



Current practice: CO2e performance calculation of general multi-modal transport

Environmental performanceTransport leg

Emission factors are used, e.g. Defra*:

In the form of CO2e / ton*km per type of transport

•Distance km is calculated on average distance•Weight ton is based on average data•Allocations are based on average efficiency of transport

Distance,weight and allocation are calculated differently by different organizations and companies.

Efforts to achieve standards and harmonized business agreements are ongoing.

Transport mean

Study conclusions:•Many similar and partly compatible environmental performance requests and reporting•No standard way to do this, mainly because it is inter-sectoral communication•There are many different approaches ongoing (next slide)

• All indicators should be normalized to transport work

• Additional indicators may apply• The actual selection of indicators as well

as scope and calculation method needs to be based on agreement (e.g. PCR acc to ISO 14025)

Emission factor databases, different scopes: •Tank to wheel (TTW)•Well to tank (WTT)•Well to wheel (WTW) Based on ISO 1404ffwww.ntmclalc.se naei.defra.gov.uk/emissions

Acquistion of data parameters

Based on - ISO/TS 14033- ISO/TS 14048www.transporteffektivitet.eu

Summary

• There are some agreement how to calculate environmental performance of transports

• Much development work is going on• There are several ISO-standards in the toolbox• More standards may be needed, both sector

specific and general
