  1. 1 Analysing freight emissions

  2. Emissions from transport sector 54.3 Mt CO2e 12.1% of SA’s ±450 Mt CO2e excludes emissions from fuel manufacture (42 Mt CO2e , being 9.3% of SA’s, but this includes non-fuel Sasol products) Mt CO2e % contribution to transport emissions

  3. Emissions from freight (per type and mode) booklet page 6

  4. 2 Risk management

  5. Volatility

  6. Operating issues

  7. Shifts in the national economy

  8. Government initiatives • Flagship programmes: • Transport • Climate change response public works • Water conservation / demand management • Renewable energy flagship programme • Energy efficiency / demand management • Waste management • Carbon capture and sequestration • Adaptation research

  9. International trade • Low-carbon regimes • “Eco-protectionism” • Bunker fuel levies  additional operational costs  costs of compliance with caps and reporting, with penalties • redirecting routes – time and cost • need for investment in new technologies or processes

  10. Costs to adapt in Africa Costs to mitigate globally • Stern Review on global mitigation costs • 2% p/a of world GDP likely to be needed • inaction likely to cost 5% to 20% of GDP

  11. 3 Mitigation in road freight

  12. Framework

  13. Types of instruments GOVERNMENT

  14. Mitigation measures per mode

  15. Mitigation measures per commodity (road / rail)

  16. 4 Opportunities

  17. Operating costs

  18. Road freight’s competitive position Advantage Reliability and freight tracking Advantage Flexibility and convenience Disadvantage Goods damaged in accidents osts Disadvantage Theft in high crime areas

  19. Integrate / specialise / diversify

  20. Human capital • “Eco-driving” training and incentives • Better truck maintenance • Right size of vehicle • Backhauling • Distribution centres • Intermodal routes
