The aim of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of the status of Clean Fuel deployment in the Northern Scandria®Corridor and to describe experiences of market access of Clean Fuels. The report benchmarks Clean Fuel performance in the Northern Scandria®Corridor in the European context, provides results related to obstacles and success factors, exemplifies relevant best practice in the Corridor regions and provides relevant contacts. It will enable the partners to identify crucial barriers and best practice examples. The geographic scope comprises the regions located along the Baltic Sea Region stretch of the Scandinavian-Mediterranean Core Network Corridor (in this report referred to as the “Northern Scandria®Corridor”), including regions in Eastern Germany, the German states of Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg, Denmark, South Sweden, Southeast Norway and Southwest Finland. See Figure 3 and detailed description of included regions in Chapter 2. In some sections of this report, statistics from The European Alternative Fuels Observatory (EAFO) are used. Numbers from EAFO are provided at national level only. However, in many cases, development at national level can also provide a picture on development in the Northern Scandria®Corridor. The major objective of the Scandria®2Act project is to foster clean, multimodal transport throughout the Corridor regions, and to increase connectivity and competitiveness of the Corridor regions while at the same time minimising negative environmental impact created by transport activities. The joint approach addresses the deployment of Clean Fuels and multimodal transport services and the establishment of a multilevel governance mechanism. This report is an output of the work package of Clean Fuel Deployment, which aims to enable the deployment of Clean Fuels with regard to freight and passenger transport along the Northern Scandria®Corridor. In preparing this report, an assessment of Clean Fuel market access experiences has been carried out in parallel with an assessment of Clean Fuel deployment in the Northern Scandria®Corridor. Information was collected through a questionnaire answered by partners and national experts and through telephone interviews with national experts from each region. Information and statistics have also been gathered from reports, literature, EAFO and national reports from the partner countries regarding the EU Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive (DAFI). The assessment has followed the Scandria®2Act multi-fuel approach, including electricity, hydrogen, biomethane and natural gas.
