1 Vision on sustainable fuelmix for transport in the Netherlands On our way towards cleaner and energy efficient transport Alexander Hablé Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment

2 Sustainable transport = necessity 2 5 mei 2015

3 Sustainable ambitions and targets for transport National targets: Social Economic Council Energy Agreement (30% 60 %CO2 reduction , zero emission cars from 2035 onwards, ) Integrated vision/action plan for sustainable fuels in transport Vision june 2014, action plan 2015 European/UN : Roadmap 2050 (climate/energy) Whitepaper transport Directives RED, FQD, CO2 cars/ldv/trucks? New Clean Power for Transport directive New proposal Energy & climate package UN /FCCC, IMO, ICAO, ECE 3 19 april 2011

4 Netherlands on the move

5 Cleaner fuels, vehicles and infrastructure, how? Strict rules/regulations on the one hand: RED for transport (2013 5,0%, ILUC, post 2020?) FQD (new article 7a GHG value?) CO2 regulation cars, vans, trucks (?) Clean Power for Transport Directive 2014 Innovation on the other hand: Innovation advanced biofuels/biogas in the fuelmix Electromobility Hydrogen in transport ITS use (new concepts of mobility), behaviour, logistics) Vision & Actionplan sustainable fuelmix (SEC/Energy Agreement and Cabinet) 5 5 mei 2015

6 6 5 mei 2015

7 Vision & Actionplan on sustainable fuels transport Dutch government decision september 2013 Vision proces all inclusive proces integrated policy making 7 over 150 stakeholders involved climate and energy targets Green growth opportunities integrated policy making co-creation Vision presented june 2014 to Secretary of State 5 mei 2015

8 Main outcomes of Vision sustainable fuelmix Cars Trucks Shipping Aviation Rail transition form fossil to electrification (EV/H2), back up biofuels long distance LNG, short distance electrification (EV/H2) efficiency, transition to LNG biokerosine sustainable electricity, replace diesel engines by LNG Needed: Infrastructure for alternative fuels needed Innovative funding needed for business cases Periodic vision/strategy erview update 8 5 mei 2015

9 Actionplan Actionplan (sep dec) Determine what needed for goals in Concrete actions needed at all levels of government and stakeholders involved Tailormade for all different transport modes (road, shipping, aviation and rail) PPS/ Green Deals /regulatory measures Cabinet decision end 2014 From vision to action! 9 5 mei 2015

10 Transition sustainable mobility key notions Key notions of NL policy: No sustainable transport without sustainable energy Combination of regulations innovation needed Alternative fuel infrastructure is key, vehicles/busses (CPTD) Vision/action plan on sustainable fuelmix for transport Tailor made in new vision approach to all different transportmodes (cars, trucks, busses, shipping & aviation, rail Transition requires integrated policy making ( co creation ) With partners from industry, government (Horizon, Eranet, TEN T EIB) Governmental co-operation on alternative fuels (eg Informal government support group) 10 5 mei 2015

11 Passenger cars on the road towards alternative fuels Biofuels (regulatory) RED implementation currently NL 4,5 % in 2014 (10% in 2020) Stimulate innovation/use more advanced biofuels E mobility (innovation) hybrids, 2600 FEV, Plug ins Focus on cars in the market, recharging infrastructure Formula E team/green Deal cars in 2020 H2 mobility (innovation) hydrogen cars, bus projects Fuel infrastructure for busses & cars R dam H2 mobility platform/plan of Action

12 Trucks on the road towards alternative fuels Innovation project Truck of the Future Lessons learned clearing house Energy efficiency vehicle concepts (tailpipe e.d.) Alternative fuels (LNG)» Involvement of industries, R&D, Truckers associations» local authorities (Green deal zero emission city distribution)» Lean & Green awards Connekt

13 Buses on the road towards zero emission 5000 busses in the Netherlands Current concession system in public transport needs innovation New technology drive trains (Electric/H2) Aim = Greening the busfleet Foundation zero emission bus busfleet 0 emission in 2025 Real time innovation in practice trial projects in busservices in Rotterdam, Arnhem, Utrecht, Amsterdam Research prospects of upscaling new technologies (electric/h2) Clearing house of lessons learned for local authorities and tranport companies

14 Aviation take off towards alternative fuels ICAO goal 50% CO2 reduction in 2050 Technology, Operations, Infratsructire (TOI) and biokerosine Bioport for jetfuels 2013 PPS with SkyNRG, KLM, Neste Oil, Harbour of Rotterdam, Ministries (EZ and I&M) KLM corporate biofuel programme start 2015 Behaviour efficiency Optimal flight International co-operation More operators now Quantas, Thai airways, Air France a.o

15 Maritime sets sail for alternatives and efficiency 15 National target of 50% CO2 emission reduction in 2050 Use of more alternative fuels (LNG, biofuels?) Innovation programmes sustainable mainports On shore power systems in harbours Cleaner engines/fuel efficiency Green deal on LNG Rhine and Wadden (PPS 500 trucks, 50 inland, 50 seagoing vessels) 5 mei 2015

16 Rail on track towards sustainability Long term Agreement NS and ProRail (MJA 3) Energy efficiencey target 2% p/y More passengers, save energy (eco driving), more use of sustainable (electric) energymix NS goes for 100% green electricity from ENECO The new driving efficience programme Move towards sustainable railway stations (Station scan tool) Investigate change over options for current diesel application to (bio)lng 16 5 mei 2015

17 Alternative fuels on track for what is needed? Further innovation technological developments/ cost reduction Social acceptance, more public awareness Governemental involvement (Long term vision, legislative preconditions, create stable investment climate) Co-creation stakeholders transport energy Roll out of alternative infrastructure for alternatives is key business at the pump (timely) vehicle roll out essential Changes for co-operation with all stakeholders
