The Ministry of Transport needs to have continual analyses prepared as a basis for formulating climate policy within transport. We have, amongst other things, a need to assess the effects of climate gas emissions, as well as calculate costs of different initiatives and policy instruments in the transport sector. The Ministry of Transport needs to have continual analyses prepared as a basis for formulating climate policy within transport. We have, amongst other things, a need to assess the effects of climate gas emissions, as well as calculate costs of different initiatives and policy instruments in the transport sector. This can be assessing initiatives and policy instruments aimed at technology, initiatives and policy instruments that affect the amount of transport and initiatives and policy instruments that reallocate transport between different sectors and transport forms. This includes both passenger transport and goods transport in the road traffic, air traffic, railway and sea transport sectors. All types of policy instruments can be relevant, including economic and regulatory. Examples of initiatives and policy instruments can be turnover requirements for biofuel, emission or technology requirements in tender processes (e.g. for ferries), road-user payment/road pricing, infrastructure initiatives, area initiatives, fees and subsidies. We need calculations of both costs per unit of reduced climate gas emissions (CO2-equivalents) and the socio-economic costs of the initiatives/policy instruments. In addition to the effects of climate gas emissions, we would also like the tenderer to assess and possibly quantify other additional effects. In addition to carrying out their own analyses, the tenderer could be asked to quality assure analyses carried out by others. For a more detailed description of the assignment, see annex 1 of the contract, (description of the assistance).
