This paper examines the objectives and the main elements of a national energy policy for transport based on the experience of such plans in the six Mediterranean EU-member countries. These plans define the energy and Green House Gas emission reduction objectives in the field of Transport which are adopted by each country and provide a guideline for...

For the majority of EU member countries, but especially those of the South i.e., Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal, the last decade was characterised by a period of negative economic growth and general instability of their economies.

During the last years, gasoline consumption, mainly for road transport, has dropped by more than 30% in Greece, while diesel consumption has seen a generally upward trend after 2013. In contrary, consumption of alternative fuels follows a positive trend. However, in 2016, the national use of Renewable Energy Sources in transport was at 1.4%, though...

freight transportation analysis. Reliable and sufficient data enable the detailed analysis for future planning, for both, infrastructure and operation of transport network. Although the significance of transport data is widely acknowledged by researchers and policy decision-makers, several issues still exist, limiting the proper collection but abov...

The current work focuses on the islands of the South Aegean and attempts to highlight the importance of airport infrastructure for their tourism development. The impact of other island characteristics (area, shore length, population, number of beds in various classes of accommodation, cost of accommodation, island’s attractiveness, distance from Pi...

The transport sector is closely related to the economy of a country. This mainly applies to urban areas, which play an essential economic role in a country’s GDP. According to the EC’s Green Paper 2007 for urban mobility, approximately 1% of the EU’s GDP is annually lost due to the increased passenger and freight flow demands in city centres and it...

Natural gas is an environmental friendly energy source used in various residential and industrial applications. Gas energy security is high in the agenda of Europe asking for the systematic investigation of all pertinent factors. To this aim a gas network model was developed for testing demand and supply scenarios. Demand scenarios assume that alth...

Urban areas have an essential economic role in a country’s GDP. According to the EC’s Green Paper 2007 for urban mobility, approximately 1% of the EU’s GDP is annually lost due to the increased passenger and freight flow demands in city centres and its consequent impacts (e.g. pollution, delay etc.).
