Subject(s): Online resources: Abstract: This study explored how the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption of road transport in Finland develops over time under the current policy setting. As the implementation of new policies and other measures presented in the Roadmap to fossil-free transport proceeds, the earlier scenarios have become outdated. To provide relevant recommendations for policy makers, updated scenarios of GHG emission pathways are needed. We defined the current sets of policies and other measures that aim at reducing GHG emissions of road transport. A new deterministic model ELIISA was developed that combines simulation of vehicle fleet, kilometrage and energy consumption and optimisation of biofuel consumption. ELIISA model was used to construct the new baseline scenario WEM2022 for road transport GHG emissions and energy consumption in Finland using the former baseline WEM2021 as the base.
