Transport of peat (milled peat and sod peat) and peat products was studied both with regard to transportation techniques and economy. In addition to the traditional peat products (briquettes and pellets), gas and synthetic gasoline, electricity and district heat were also included in the peat products. As regards the last mentioned end products, only their transportation costs were studied. The following modes of transport were studied where applicable: railway transports, road transports (by trailer and tractor), pipelines (district heat and gas), ship and barge transports and powerline. cost analysis was confined to other than water transports. An automatic data processing program was prepared for the calculation of transport costs, and a number of cases were calculated with the aid of this program. (ERA citation 11:025313)
