Simple figures

•Passenger cars in Iceland•200.0000 vehicles•Average annual driving 15.000 km •Average emission 200 g/km•Problem = 600.000 ton CO2

Midsize car

•Comparison• Same size (5 seats for adults, and room for 2-3

suitcases)• Similar power• Same producer

199 CO2 g/km - petrol

146 CO2 g/km - diesel

90 CO2 g/km - hybrid

49 CO2 g/km – Plug in hybrid

10 year perspective for 200.000 vehicles• 199 CO2 g/km = 590.000 tons• 146 CO2 g/km = 438.000 tons• 90 CO2 g/km = 270.000 tons• 49 CO2 g/km = 147.000 tons

0 CO2 g/km – 100% electric

• Existing taxes gives the opportunity for low tax, same tax or higher tax policy.

• Just keep the difference if you want to make changes in the private car fleet !!!

Information

Energy –3 sectors for each home

•Heat

•Electricity

•Transport

Northern periphery countries energy specialties

• Heat = Huge need because of cold climate• Electricity = intensive and uneven light use• Transport = Long distances and lack of public transport

Focus in the service

Heat• What is the service?• m3 water, kWh• 20°C • When people are there

Price 0,20 €/kWh

Transport

How can the owner save annually?:15.000 km

• 585 litres of oil

• 1250 kg CO2

• 150.000 ISK (1000 €)

• By buying the following car next time………..

New oil field

• There about ten million passenger cars in the NPP countries

• If everyone would make similar changes when they renew their vehicles.• 5.850.000.000 litres of oil• 36.562.500 barrels per year• 100.171 barrels/day

Oil price

• What is the actual product/service you buy at fuel stations?• Liters? • It is DISTANCE or kilometers

0.18 €/km 0.08 €/km

Conclusion

• We have a problem• But the solutions are already available• The solutions often mean the same or even better quality of life• And when we focus on the REAL service the solutions are often

cheaper• 20°C instead of kWh• Light hour cost instead of cost of each light bulb • €/km instead of €/L
