| Summary: | Sweden’s national goal to have all vehicles to be zero emission vehicles by year 2030 puts high demands on the infrastructure of alternative fuels. Most cities in developed countries already have a working infrastructure for conventional fuels that has been planned with regard to its unique conditions, such as traffic and population density. These conditions of a city are surely not going to change even if every car was replaced by a zero emission vehicle. Today’s infrastructure for conventional fuels is therefore suitable also for alternative fuels. Electric vehicles on the other hand takes much more time to reload than it takes to refuel a normal car, which makes service stations less suitable locations for charging them. Electric vehicles’ relatively short range (150-600 km) will most probably not affect how a city’s inhabitants move within the city. In this master thesis the existing infrastructure for both conventional and alternative fuels for public consumption is analyzed, with the purpose to improve its accessibility. The thesis is supposed to facilitate the Municipality of Luleå’s planning before establishing new service stations. The method results in a couple of proposed areas that would benefit the fuel accessibility the most, both to its citizens and to commuters of other cities.

De flesta städer i utvecklade länder har redan en infrastruktur för konventionella drivmedel som är planerad utifrån stadens unika förutsättningar, så som trafik och invånartäthet. Dessa förutsättningar kan man med säkerhet anta kvarstår även om alla dagens bilar byttes ut mot fossiloberoende bilar. Dagens infrastruktur för konventionella drivmedel är därför även lämplig för alternativa drivmedel. Elbilar däremot tar mycket längre tid att ladda än det tar att tanka en vanlig bil, och därför är drivmedelsanläggningar inte den bäst lämpade platsen för ...
