Potential impact and challenges of logistics measures for improving sustainability on the Rotterdam-Venlo corridor
report
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of logistics measures in reducing CO2 and NOx emissions in the hinterland and continental freight sector in the Netherlands. To conduct this analysis, a case study was selected that focuses on the corridor Rotterdam-Venlo. The transportation on this corridor involves heavy duty road, inland shipping and rail transport and only includes transportation that have an origin and destination in the COROP regions (division of the Netherlands for statistical purposes) in which Rotterdam and Venlo are located. To assess the impact of different logistics measures on reducing emissions on this corridor, this study makes use of the toolbox called DeCaMod. DeCaMod has a database that contains information on tonnes, kilometres and emissions in the Dutch transport sector and how they are distributed over several logistics segments. Hence, DeCaMod can help to identify where in the logistics sector emissions are concentrated. Additionally, DeCaMod can calculate the potential impact of logistics measures and technological measures on emission reduction within the Dutch logistics sector. Therefore, DeCaMod aids in understanding the extent to which various measures can contribute to lowering emissions and reaching climate goals. Its analysis provides valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to implement effective strategies to reduce emissions in the logistics sector
