The Base Port system, introduced to transport products from Swedish mills to customers in Central Europe, is expanding according to plan. In 2002, 1.3 million tonnes of goods were channelled through this unique shiprail system, a 20% increase compared to the previous year.
The reconstruction of the rail track connecting Grycksbo Mill to the Base Port Transport System is underway. A significant reduction in fossil fuel consumption is expected, as half of the mill's production will be transported by rail.
The transportation of recovered paper from Northern Sweden to Hylte Mill has been moved from road to rail, reducing fossil fuel consumption. The incoming timber trains also logistically complement the trains used to transport products from the mill. The total reduction in carbon dioxide emissions is approximately
1 800 tonnes annually.
In the Hällefors area, CO2 emissions were reduced by 260 tonnes and NOX emissions by 3 tonnes in 2002, when some 40 000 cubic metres (solid under bark) of spruce pulpwood was transported from Hällefors to Stora Enso's Kvarnsveden Mill by rail instead of road.
Trucks running on bio-fuel
In Sweden, Stora Enso has contributed to the establishment of a truck fleet running on bio-fuel, by supporting the Green Ton Kilometres project initiated by Danzas. Stora Enso's support is equivalent to an annual reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of 169 tonnes.
