(sammanfattning) Luleå : Luleå tekniska universitet, 2023 Summary: Transportation is a critical pillar of modern society. Over the past decades, growth in the mobility of people and goods has been both enabled by and dependent upon fossil fuels. Strong action is needed to break this dependence in order to reduce CO2. The overall aim of this thesis is to support the transition towards climate neutral transportation in Sweden considering local, regional, and national settings, by use of TIMES-based ESOMs. This is addressed by i) developing and adapting transport sector representation in TIMES models considering context-specific conditions and preferences, ii) applying the models to define and explore alternative long-term scenarios that meet the overall goals, and iii) identifying key measures and policy implications for achieving climate neutral transportation. In Paper I (Local setting) key considerations and requirements in respect of modelling local energy transition of transportation in a TIMES energy system modelling framework were outlined. The model was then applied to address potential trade-offs between global climate concerns and local air quality issues.
