About 31% of the EU27 final energy consumption in 2019 was from transport (Eurostat data). However, only a small share of the cumulative energy savings reported by the Member States to their energy savings obligation for 2014-2020 was achieved in transport.
This online workshop will therefore discuss opportunities for energy savings in transport, focusing on freight transport. As more than 77% of the inland freight is done with road transport, the main options discussed will be modal shift and improving the efficiency of vehicles
Agenda:
- Assessing the potential of modal shift for freight transport in EU Member States, by Elisabeth Böck, AEA – Austrian Energy Agency (streamSAVE project)
- Opportunities and impacts of developing modal shift for freight, by Conor Feighan, European Rail Freight Association
- The example of the Ferrobonus and Marebonus programmes in Italy, by Maria Lelli, ENEA – Italian Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development
- Discussing options to reduce the energy consumption and GHG emissions from road freight, by James Nix, Transport & Environment
