Scandria 2Act The main objective is to foster clean, multimodal transport to increase connectivity and competitiveness of corridor regions while minimising negative environmental impact induced by transport. For this purpose, project partners have developed a joint project approach addressing: Work packages WP2: the deployment of clean fuels, WP3: the deployment of multimodal transport services and WP4: the establishment of a multilevel governance mechanism, the Scandria Alliance
WP2 Clean Fuel - Partners 1. Akershus County Council (N). Work Package leader 2. Region Skåne (S) 3. Skåne Association of Local Authorities (S) 4. RISE Research Institutes of Sweden (S) 5. German Energy Agency (dena) (D) 6. Technical University of Applied Science, Wildau (D) 7. Project management: Joint Spatial Planning Department Berlin - Brandenburg
WP2 - project ambitions and activities Scandria 2act partners aim at fostering the corridor-wide deployment of clean fuels in an inclusive multi-fuel approach. Output from WP2: Assessment of Clean Fuel Deployment and Market Access of Clean Fuels in the Northern Scandria Corridor (April 2017) Clean Fuel Deployment Strategy Increasing regional capacity to implement clean fuels in a corridor perspective Road Shows in Oslo Region, Skåne and Berlin
Definition- Clean Fuels / Alternative Fuels According to Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2014 on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure: Electricity BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles) Hydrogen FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles) Natural gas - CNG/LNG (Compressed / Liquefied Natural Gas) Biomethane (upgraded biogas) CBG/LBG
Assessment report Region: The Northern Scandria Corridor Content Clean Fuel Infrastructure and vehicles Incentives and legislation Market access of Clean Fuels Benchmark in the European Context Obstacles and success factors Best practice examples Download the report from http://www.scandria-corridor.eu
Key findings 1. The deployment of Clean Fuels in the Northern Scandria Corridor is developing too slowly to reach the desired national and EU/EEA targets for reduction of CO2 emissions from transport. 2. Availability of Clean Fuel infrastructure is in general too limited to ensure clean transport throughout the Northern Scandria Corridor. 3. Stronger national incentives are important to foster infrastructure development and the use of Clean Fuels 4. There is a need for standardised payment systems for Clean Fuels across the national borders. 5. A limited model selection of Clean Fuel vehicles and especially the limited consumer perception of these cars are obstacles to market development.
Key findings, continued 6. Public transport plays an important role in increasing the use of Clean Fuels. 7. Regional and local decision makers will become more important as the main driver for shifting to alternative fuels in the near future. 8. The regional perspective is important in ensuring the development of Clean Fuel infrastructure in such a way that it permits, and stimulates, transport with Clean Fuels 9. The cost of producing renewable fuels except electricity is in generally much higher than that of fossil alternatives in an early stage. 10. There are several best practice examples of setting frameworks, using incentives and carrying out concrete measures within the Northern Scandria Corridor.

Key finding # 2, Example: Infrastructure LBG/LNG E20 Oslo E6!(!( Gothenburg!( E18 E6 E4 Copenhagen Malmö E20 E20 E18!(!(!( Stockholm Turku!( E18!( Helsinki Refuelling stations available in the city regions and along the main roads in the Northern Scandria Corridor. The number is too low to ensure the possibility for transport of goods based on LBG/LNG throughout the Corridor. [7] Rostock Hamburg [24] [19] [24]!(!( LBG / LNG refuelling stations
Key finding # 2, Example: Infrastructure Hydrogen Refuelling stations available in the Northern Scandria Corridor. The number is too low to ensure the possibility for transport of persons and goods based on hydrogen throughout the Corridor. And - there is a need for standardised payment systems
Key finding # 3: Incentives The use of incentives varies within the region The effect of different incentives will be studied in the Clean Fuel Deployment Strategy report to be published later in 2018 by The German Energy Agency Stronger use of incentives are important! Incentives available by country. Source: EAFO and Scandria2Act project questionnaires.

Example: Norway 2016. Out of 100 vehicles are Fossile PHEV BEV 71 13 16
Key finding # 7 & 8: Cities and Regions are drivers Cities and regions are taking on a leading role in the development of clean fuel infrastructure and deployment of vehicles. Interregional cooperation is important to harmonize use of incentives and to foster use of clean fuels in the corridor perspective. There is a need for projects like Scandria 2Act to speed up the deployment of clean fuels in the Northern Scandria Corridor!
On-going: Clean Fuel Deployment Strategy Responsible partner: German Energy Agency (dena). Output: A report providing cities and regions with input on how to deploy clean fuel infrastructure and vehicles. The strategy will describe and discuss: Regulatory Framework for Clean Transport in EU EU Transport Policy and the role of clean fuels Status Quo of alternative fuels and vehicles Overview of instruments in use in the different countries Assessment of the instruments (effectiveness/efficiency/costs) Scandria Recommendation - Catalogue of strategic measures Report to be ready early 2018
On-going: Increasing regional capacity Responsible partner: Skåne Association of Local Authorities Output: A report providing cities, municipalities and regions with input on how to increase their capacity to implement clean fuels in a corridor perspective Financing models for investment in infrastructure (Region Skåne) Concept study of Multifuel Station for clean fuels (RISE) Experiences from the introduction of BEV in city logistics (TH Wildau) Report to be ready October 2018.
