1 The SuperGreenproject - a project led by National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) Harilaos N. Psaraftis, NTUA George Panagakos, NTUA 1 st EcoTransIT Stakeholder Workshop Paris, 5 October

2 7 th Framework Programme Theme title: Transport (including Aeronautics) Type of project: Coordination and Support Action Project full title: Supporting EU s Freight Transport Logistics Action Plan on Green Corridors Issues Project acronym: SuperGreen 2

3 Background Freight Transport Logistics Action Plan (2007) Green transport corridors for freight. Green Corridors should in all ways be environmentally friendly, safe and efficient. Emissions, internal as well as external costs should be considered. 3

4 What is a green corridor? EU Commission: Green Corridors are a European concept denoting long-distance freight transport corridors where advanced technology and co-modality are used to achieve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. 4

5 Objectives Providesupport and recommendationson Green Corridors to EU s Freight Transport Logistics Action Plan. Encourage co-modality for sustainable solutions. BenchmarkGreen Corridors based on selected KPIs covering all aspects related to transport operations and infrastructure. Conduct a programme of networking activities between stakeholdersto facilitate information exchange, dissemination of research results and communication of best practises and technologies. 5

6 Objectives, contd. Deliverstudiesaddressing topics important for the further development of Green Corridors. Deliverpolicy recommendationsat a European level for the further development of Green Corridors. Provide recommendations concerning new calls for R&D proposals to support development of Green Corridors (eliminate bottlenecks). 6

21 Synergies with EcoTransIT World A corridor is viewed as a set of individual transport chains, which are analysed in relation to the 5 KPI areas mentioned above. All KPIs of the Environmental Sustainability area concerning a specific transport chain are calculated by EcoTransIT World. 21

22 Synergies with EcoTransIT World Emissions of GHG = (Fuel Emission factor) * (Specific energy consumption) / (load factor) o Fuel Emission Factor is expressing emissions of GHG per energy unit of fuel and depends on the type of fuel used. o Specific Energy Consumption is expressing the energy input to the vehicle/vessel per travelled distance and depends on the technology used and the driving conditions (speed, congestion, topography, weather, driving pattern etc.). o Load factor is probably the most crucial parameter in the environmental performance and efficiency of an operation. 22

23 Synergies with EcoTransIT World All three determinants of the emissions produced are followed by EcoTransIT World, and they are entered in the calculations either directly by the user or as default values based on real life experiences. The default values of EcoTransIT World and its consistent way of calculating emissions are of great value to SuperGreen, as it is expected that our partners will not be able to locate the necessary data in all transport chains analysed for all corridors examined. 23
