Results of decomposition of freight carbon emissions, 1990-2004 Emissions increased 56% (2004), explanatory factor change activity (9% more emissions), improvement fuel efficiency slightly curtailed rise emissions
SCENARIOS FOR 2012 • Business as usual (BAU): trends activity, energy intensity, fuel and modal shares continue to 2012 – Energy intensities fall • Development Spanish Freight Railway (DSFR): increases share railway (18%, 2012) and improved energy efficiency • Road Efficiency and Biodiesel (REB): efficiency gains diesel engines (30%) and penetration biodiesel engines (10% road energy) • Scenarios same estimates future transport levels (27% increment 2004-2012), different mode shares and vehicle technology levels
Emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the freight sector 1990, 2004 • and in the scenarios for 2012* BAU emissions over 47 MtCO2eq. (∆26% 2004, ∆96% 1990) DSFR (∆10% 2004, -6 MtCO2eq./year BAU), road (∆10%), rail (∆429% ) REB (∆-6,5% 2004, -61 MtCO2eq. BAU2008-2012), road (∆-8,3%), rail (∆-4,6%) , marine (∆-4,9%), pipe (∆103%), air (∆35%) 43,1 MtCO2eq. (-4,5 Mt BAU, 2012) 27,9 MtCO2eq. (∆15% 1990, 2008-2012) emissions lower REB no increase activity *Possibilities using bigger or high performance vehicles not examined in scenarios
Energy and fuel costs* impacts under freight sector scenarios, road only (2012) REB savings 158 PJ/year (7,9% energy used transport Spain) DSFR savings 112 PJ/year, 2310 M€/year (-29% and -25% REB) Note: fuel prices constant at 2004 levels: diesel 0,75 €/l, gasoline 0,89 €/l, biodiesel 0,82 €/l; 1 MJ is equal to the energy content of: 0,025 liters of diesel, 0,028 liters of gasoline and 0,029 liters of biodiesel at lower heating value; Information is based on Ministerio de Industria, Turismo y Comercio (2004) and Johansson (1995) *Annual net savings from BAU, include exclusively fuel cost
CO2 emissions per GDP by major end use in Spain, 1990-2004 GDP related increasing activity, emissions transport (tCO2eq. per GDP), ∆15% 1990-2004, Agriculture and environment, -∆19% Industry, ∆2% Waste treatment, disposal and non industrial plants, ∆13% Source: Pérez-Martínez (2005) Note: CO2 emissions of different economic sectors includes all the SNAP groups. Industry includes groups 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Transport includes groups 7 and 8. Agriculture and environment includes groups 10 and 11. Others includes groups 2 and 9.
Road freight energy consumption and fuel price in Spain, 1990-2004. Diesel (78%) and gasoline prices (22%) weighted by consumption. Weak inverse relation fuel price and energy Low diesel price relative gasoline Weight regulations/Tolls/Wages/ affect operating costs more than fuel (is only one factor) Source: Pérez-Martínez (2006) Note: In Spain, gasoline is only important to fueling a share of light duty vehicles. Heavy duty vehicles use mostly diesel.
DISCUSSION • GDP related increasing activity despite decrease energy intensity • Fuel price slightly affected changes road freight activity and energy consumption – weak inverse relation fuel price and intensity • Carbon emissions restrained: reducing activity, changing modal share, improving utilization and technology (propulsion, fuel mix); activity accounts 10% total costs and 15% total energy • Trend towards road on expenses of rail due to inherent differences: geography, distance and transport policies; fuel changes could influence share towards lower energy costs and higher efficiencies • Energy efficiency influenced by: technology, optimization strategies and policy measures; increment intermodal combinations could increase load factors and decrease energy intensities • Reduce carbon emissions through switching to fuels with lower carbon emissions per unit of energy; use of alternative fuels constrained by high prices
CONCLUSIONS • Freight transport energy use and corresponding CO2 emissions increased faster than other sectors in Spain (56%, 41% above Kyoto Protocol) • Analysis of growth trends: increased activity, maintenance modal shares, little changes fuel efficiency, continualchanges energy use and CO2 emissions • Scenarios asset: CO2 emissions reduced by 6,5% by 2012 (REB) if road diesel vehicles experiment 30% increase in efficiency; road fuel 158 PJ and cost savings 3099 M€ • Freight growth coupled with economical growth; share of manufactured products increased together with distances travelled and environmental problems
