A framework for barriers, opportunities, and potential solutions for renewable energy diffusion: Exemplified by liquefied biogas for heavy trucks

Sustainable selection of waste collection trucks considering feasible future scenarios by applying the stratified best and worst method

“…In this case, the assessments made by the experts would indeed have been different, as fuel generation would come from waste treatment processes that contribute to the circular economy. Liquefied biogas is a potentially important substitute for fossil fuels for heavy trucks [ 90 ] that has received little attention until now [ 91 ] and the results of a recent well-to-wheel assessment show that, compared to conventional fuels, in transport applications and for all vehicle classes (including heavy-duty vehicles), the use of compressed and liquefied renewable natural gas shows an 81% greenhouse gas emission reduction per kilometer traveled [ 92 ].…”

Roadblocks to Implement Electric Freight Transports : Challenges for Commercial Vehicle Manufacturers and Hauliers

“…From a technology perspective, there are several factors influencing the implementation of environment-oriented practices in logistics systems. For instance the complexity and compatibility of the technology (Lin and Ho, 2011;Ho and Lin, 2012) as well as the risks connected to it (Jovanovic et al, 2020;Takman and Andersson-Sköld, 2021) are key factors affecting the implementation of environment-oriented practices. From this perspective, companies tend to implement technologies/practices that are perceived as less complex, more compatible and easy to integrate into present business operations (Lin and Ho, 2011).…”

“…Market challenges when implementing GLPs relate to several factors. The lack of customer awareness and customer interest in green services/transports is considered a challenge affecting the demand for green services/transports (Perotti et al 2015;Abbasi and Nilsson, 2016;Evangelista et al, 2017;Bask et al, 2018;Takman and Andersson-Sköld, 2021). In addition, competitive pressure plays a significant role in the implementation of GLPs.…”

Exploring green logistics practices in freight transport and logistics: a study of biomethane use in Sweden

“…The interviews revealed that while the implementation of these practices yields less carbon emission and similar operational costs, the switching costs are high. Knowledge and infrastructure costs of converting entire systems to fossil-free fuels, such as biomethane, are among the largest barriers described by (Takman and Andersson-Sköld 2021). However, as organisations move towards these practices on a large-scale, these high switching costs can be interpreted as beneficial long-term investments.…”
