The rapid development of our transport system, driven in part by new technology, increases the pressure to achieve climate neutrality, and the need for clean energy has a significant impact on both fossil-freedom and resilience. It is therefore important to understand how fossil-freedom and resilience interact and influence each other as we develop the transport system of the future.
The overall aim of the project is to explore the interaction between fossil-freedom and resilience in the Swedish transport system. Two research questions are addressed:
- What conflicts of interest and synergies exist between fossil-freedom and resilience in the development of the transport system?
- What possible strategies exist to manage conflicts of interest and create synergies between fossil-freedom and resilience in the transport system?
The project will develop a framework aimed at better understanding the conflicts of interest and synergies between increased fossil-freedom and resilience, as well as the strategies available to achieve a more fossil-free and resilient transport system. This framework will also contribute to a better understanding of the different requirements, starting points, logics, and goals of the transport system’s logistics actors regarding fossil-freedom and resilience. Special focus will be given to developments and decisions related to electrification and digitalization, as these areas have a significant impact on fossil-freedom while also being crucial for the resilience of the transport system.
