TRANSCRIPT
GUIDE TO ENERGY AND PUBLICLY-ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORT IN RURAL AREAS
MOTIVATION
The ‘Atlantic Arc Regions’ of Europe all share similar experiences of geographical difficulties remote populations large distances between centres of population problems keeping up with advances in technology inter-modality issues
The REPUTE Guide explores how the regions could learn from each otherkeep up with the pace of development within larger, more populated,
regionsprovides examples of innovative large-and small-scale transport
schemes from different regionsintroduces the REPUTE pilot projects.

GUIDE TO ENERGY AND PUBLICLY-ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORT IN RURAL AREAS
PROBLEMThe transport sector is the fastest growing source of GHG emissions. People in rural areas typically travel 50% further than those in urban
areas-most by bus or car.
SOLUTIONLocally generated energyInitiatives to connect people to rural public transport hubs through community-
run schemesShared ownership of transport resources and bespoke on-demand services.
This is known as Total Transport.Transfer of best practice from cities
DRIVERS FOR CHANGEThese include community engagement, fund-raising at a local level, local
energy initiatives and policiesThe introduction of cost-effective, energy-saving, technologies.

REGIONAL MOBILITY CHALLENGES AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
IssuesPeople living in rural areas travel ~50% further than their city
counterparts and a large proportion of their total mileage is made by car or bus
Lack of access to public transport hubsLack of integration of different modes of transportLack of coherent local policyLack of real-time information
Total Transport solutions integrate transport services provided by different agencies and operators, eg combining a local bus service with hospital transport

MobilityInteresting e-mobility and e-
transport schemesJourney planningIntegrated ticketingEnergy saving devices
Freight transport by bus
Oxford buses fitted with Formula 1-style kinetic energy recover systems – KERS provide ~20% fuel saving at 25% of the cost of a hybrid bus
TALYBONT ZERO ENERGY CARBON CAR SHARE SCHEME (2011-)Talybont is a small rural village in
South WalesTalybont on Usk Energy Ltd runs
two vehicles:• An electric van powered by the
group’s solar panels• A car powered by bio-diesel
The vehicles are funded by the Talybont Energy and Sustainable Development Fund. Talybont Energy earns ~30,000 Euro/year from its community hydro-electric scheme
The project has twin environmental aims of replacing fossil fuel miles with zero carbon miles and encouraging less cars on the road through car sharing.
ECO TRAVEL NETWORK EV RENTAL, BRECON BEACONS NATIONAL PARK, SOUTH WALES (2012-)
The Eco Travel Network runs an EV rental and charging network for tourists to the Brecon Beacons national park.
7 Renault Twizys with 40 charging points installed throughout the national park at cafes, hotels and shops.
The Eco Travel Network is run as a not-for-profit organisation. They obtained a 30,000 Euro Start up Grant from the Brecon Beacons National Park Sustainable Development Fund. This was used to cover set up costs and subsidise the first set of vehicles. All costs in future will be covered by members.
CASE STUDY -BIOFUEL
Biofuels derived from waste represent a promising alternative to fossil fuels
Liquid biofuels (ethanol and biodiesel) already meet around 3% of global transport demand
Gaseous biofuels (biomethane or biogas) – second generation biofuels - meet a much smaller demand currently, but they can also be used in road transport applications
GENeco Bio-Bus, Bristol-Bath, UK
Bath-Bristol Airport commuter routeBiomethane, produced at the
Bristol Sewage Works at Avonmouth, converts food waste and human waste into biomethane by the anaerobic digestion route
The 40-seater bus has a range of 300 km on a full tank which is equivalent to the waste per year from five people. These buses produce approximately 30% less greenhouse gases than their diesel equivalents and improve the air quality in city centres
Lille has over 10 years’ experience of using biofuels in buses. There are ~130 biogas buses currently.

SUMMARY
Future transport will use more energy derived from natural resources – solar, wind, tidal, hydro, biomass, etc.
Renewable energy sources can be owned, operated and controlled in rural areas through community actions and local partnerships. The energy generated can be used directly or indirectly in local transport
Rural public transport hubs need to be built and connected by express services to major destinations
Total transport solutions are required for rural communities where pooling of resources and voluntary actions can provide a service
Financing mechanisms, such as crowd-funding and local share schemes, can integrate community energy schemes with transport solutions, providing a strong sense of local involvement
