    Fuel Cell Electric Buses An attractive Value Proposition for Zero-Emission Buses In Denmark - April 2020 - Photo: An Attractive Line Bloch Value Klostergaard, Proposition North for Denmark Zero-Emission Region Buses. in Denmark Executive Summary Seeking alternatives to diesel buses are crucial for realizing the Danish zero Zero–Emission Fuel Cell emission reduction agenda in public transport by 2050. In Denmark alone, public transport and road-transport of cargo account for ap- proximately 25 per cent of the Danish CO2 emissions. Thus, the deployment of zero emission fuel cell electric buses (FCEBs) will be an important contribution Electric Buses for Denmark. to the Danish climate law committed to reaching 70 per cent below the CO2 emissions by 2030 and a total carbon neutrality by 2050. In line with the 2050 climate goals, Danish transit agencies and operators are being called to implement ways to improve air quality in their municipalities while maintaining quality of service. This can be achieved with the deployment of FCEBs and without compromising on range, route flexibility and operability. As a result, FCEBs are now also being included as one of the solutions in coming zero emission bus route tenders Denmark. Danish municipalities play an important role in establishing the public transport system of the future, however it is also essential that commercial players join forces to realize the deployment of zero-emission buses. In order to push the de- velopment forward, several leading players in the hydrogen fuel cell value chain have teamed up and formed the H2BusEurope consortium committed to support the FCEB infrastructure.

  • The Road from Kyoto
    FTkyoto ok 19/10/00 11:39 Page 1 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY THE ROAD FROM KYOTO Current CO2 and Transport Policies in the IEA gardekyoto ok 19/10/00 11:41 Page 1 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY THE ROAD FROM KYOTO Current CO2 and Transport Policies in the IEA Foreword FOREWORD Transport accounts for almost a third of total final energy consumption in IEA countries, and 80% of that amount is in the form of road transport. Cars and trucks will be the principal source of carbon dioxide emissions in the foreseeable future. The central role of transport in economic activity and its pervasive influence on every day life make it complex and politically difficult to change. CO2 emissions are just one of many policy concerns, such as safety, urban quality, local air pollution, noise and congestion, that transport raises. Government at many levels — local, regional and national — deals with fuel taxation, urban and regional planning, transport infrastructure investments and public transport. These activities need to be co-ordinated to achieve an effective transport policy in relation to oil security and climate change. “The Road from Kyoto” reviews and offers insights into how governments are grappling with the complexity of transport and CO2 policy making. It examines the transport sector from the perspective of the emissions reduction commitments made under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. It identifies the components of transport that affect CO2 emissions and details policies that contribute to emissions reduction. It presents detailed accounts of the current and future situation in six IEA countries — Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, as well as the European Union as a whole and the United States.

The intention is to propose a set of policy options to enhance the contribution of these infrastructures to economic and social development at home and abroad in the years to come. The Project follows on from the work undertaken in the OECD’s Infrastructure to 2030 Report and focuses on gateways, hubs and corridors which were not encompassed in the earlier report. The objectives include identifying projections and scenarios to 2015 / 2030 / 2050, opportunities and challenges facing gateways and hubs, assessing future infrastructure needs and financing models, drawing conclusions and identifying policy options for improved gateway and corridor infrastructure in future. The Project Description includes five work modules that outline the scope and content of the work in more detail. The Steering Group and OECD International Futures Programme team are managing the project, which is being undertaken in consultation with the OECD / International Transport Forum and Joint Transport Research Centre and with the participation of OECD in-house and external experts as appropriate.

  • Decarbonizing Road Freight Transport in Denmark
    Decarbonizing road freight transport in Denmark English Summary Published: February 2020 Author: Henrik Gudmundsson Sponsored by: The Danish Energy Foundation Decarbonizing road freight transport English summary The green transition has not yet manifested itself noticeably in the Danish road freight transport sector. Over 99 % of the 42,000 trucks in Denmark are still running on 93 % fossil diesel fuel. In total, they emit around 3 million tons of CO2 per year, which equals 25 % of the transport sector, or 6 % of the total national greenhouse gas emissions. There is no indication that the curve is bending downwards anytime soon. The heavier trucks and semitrailers from 26 t total weight and upwards, which make up 60 % of the truck fleet account for over 85 % of CO2 emissions. This means that effec- tive measures to decarbonize freight transport not least must focus on this segment. High costs and other barriers are slowing the green transition in the road freight transport system. This is reinforced by a marked lack of political attention and effective efforts in this area. New EU regulations will certainly help reduce the new trucks' CO2 emissions by 2030, but overall the effect will be limited. New EU regulations on alternative fuels set up intricate rules that are unlikely to be of very great benefit to the climate overall. Na- tionally, no significant initiatives to promote sustainable freight transport have been taken at all. Consequently, there is no immediate prospect for truck transport to contribute signifi- cantly to decarbonization in Denmark over the next 10 years. However, there is a range of opportunities to reduce road freight transport emissions.

What Policies Contribute to Active Transport Participation? A Comparative Policy Analysis of Christchurch and Copenhagen A Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Environmental Policy at Lincoln University by Michelle Ruske Lincoln University 2014 Abstract of a Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Environmental Policy. Abstract What Policies Contribute to Active Transport Participation? A Comparative Policy Analysis of Christchurch and Copenhagen by Michelle Ruske Abstract Increasing active transport participation in urban environments has a large body of academic support. Reasoning behind the push towards a cleaner, healthier, and more efficient mode of transportation is found in a range of disciplines including health science, in climate change and sustainability discussions, in economics, and in social science investigations into what creates a ‘happy’ urban environment. Active transport refers to modes of transportation in which the traveller is ‘active’; including both walking and cycling. This dissertation looks at what variables contribute to active transport, and identifies policy measures that low active transport cities should consider for future research.

    THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL TRANSLATION Written statement to the Danish Parliament ”Danish Air Transport 2015” [Nov I] Put forward by Minister of Transport and Energy Mr. Flemming Hansen: 1. INTRODUCTION For decades the importance of air transport has increased for the Danish society and each Dane and as a consequence air transport in Denmark has undergone large changes. Today we see clear indications that these changes may be even larger during the next 10 years. The development in the coming years provide large opportunities as well as risks for Danish air transport, and therefore also for the possibilities, which Danes have, in terms of fast and efficient transportation to other countries and between the different parts of Denmark. To a large extent this is connected to the ability to communicate and trade with other countries, to exchange knowledge and new technologies across national boundaries and to take part in the international division of labour. As stated in the government platform, the government wants to ensure that the Danish society, each Dane and each company are better prepared to handle the challenges in a still more open international economy. Globalisation implies an additional opening of the world, which provides Denmark with new opportunities. However, a number of conditions must be met if Denmark is to make use of these opportunities. One condition is that Danes have access to fast and cheap transport to other countries, including both other EU countries, the other side of the Atlantic and the growth economies in Southeast Asia. The development in air transport is a consequence of globalisation, however, cheaper and better transport is also one of the most important driving forces behind the globalisation process.
