Sammanfattning
The main objective of this report is to investigate how freight train capacity can be
increased to enable transportation related to carbon capture and storage (CCS) on
the Swedish railway system in order to achieve the carbon dioxide climate target.
The increased need for sustainable transport will create a large demand on the existing
railway network. To meet these demands, several measures need to be taken.
To investigate this further, literature study, interviews, a case study and analysis of
the current network were conducted. As the railway network is a complex system,
a range of measures is suggested to counter a high capacity utilization within both
shorter and longer time frames.
In the report several line segments limiting the system capacity were identified.
Several measures were suggested with regards to both railway infrastructure and
train set-up. It is concluded that additional investments have to be made to handle
ccs transportation.
