1 Climate mitigation in infrastructure projects Cecilia Kjellander Birgitta Aava Olsson

2 Trafikverket the Swedish Transport Administration Our tasks To be responsible for the long-term planning of the transport system for road, rail, shipping and aviation. To be responsible for the construction, operation and maintenance of State owned roads and railways

3 Vision and goals Based on the national vision set by the Parliament that Sweden shall not have any net emissions of GHG emissions This means for infrastructure: a vision of a climate neutral infrastructure by the latest percent reduction of GHG emissions to 2025 and 15 percent reduction to 2020 compared to

4 Climate requirements on infrastructure Introduced in Percentage reduction requirement of GHG emissions are set without going into how to do it - leaving room for innovation. Goals and vision has been determined after impact assessment and dialogue with the contractors

5 What is included in the requirements? GHG emissions in a lifecycle perspective from road and railway investment projects. The requirements include projects with a total cost of approx. 6 million USD or more. For smaller projects, requirements on emission factors for specific material are set. Procurement of materials for railway such as concrete sleepers and rails. Maintenance of existing roads and railways

6 Requirements in planning, design and building Requirement on consultant to present measures in the planning phase Quantitative requirement on reduced GHG emissions on consultant or turnkey (design) contract Quantitative requirement on reduced GHG emissions on construction contract Measurement selection study Planning phase Design phase Building phase Climate declaration to control compliance of requirements to reduce GHG emissions Requirement on verification of reductions by calculations of GHG emissions in Klimatkalkyl

7 Klimatkalkyl, a model for transport infrastructure LCA with focus on energy use and CO 2 -emissions Compare alternative routes in a project Identify hotspots what contributes most to energy use and climate impact in a project Analyze how different measures affect energy use and climate impact work with improvements Follow up climate and energy performance CO 2 -emissions Emission factors X = Resource templates for standard measures Project specific data for material and energy resources

8 Requirements on climate calculations in the East Link project Sweden s first high-speed railway for trains running at up to 320 kilometres per hour. Supplementary investigation on alternative routes through Linköping Construction Maintenance Operation Total

9 Requirements on climate calculations for different routes within a corridor Other Work tunnel Railway bridge Non ballasted track Foundation work concrete piles Substructure Rock tunnel Concrete tunnel

10 E4 The Stockholm bypass sources GHG emissions Construction: tonnes CO2-eqv

11 E4 The Stockholm bypass 10 % reduction of greenhouse gas emission HOW? Concrete with 7 % less Carbon Footprint 2,5 % 10 % less concrete and reinforcing bars 3 % Reinforcing bars with about half carbon footprint 3 % Construction steel with 30 % less carbon footprint 2 % Fuel with 20 % less carbon footprint 3,5 %

12 What happens now? Communication of requirements Continued development of procedures and methodology. Development of requirements for maintenance and small projects. A checkpoint is planned in 2018, in order to reconcile development and identify future demand levels beyond
