| Izvleček: | Deposits of energy products (oil, coal, natural gas, .) are located on variousparts of the earth, depending on the conditions taking place during themillion years of earth's development. This is why energy or energy productsneed to be transported to the intermediate or indirectly to the final consumer. The transport can take place in various forms, depending on the energy product and the physical state of this energy product. Solid and liquidenergy products (coal, oil) are transported by means of shipping, railway and road transport. Oil is also transported by means of oil pipelines,whereas natural gas is transported in the gaseous state by means of gas pipelines or liquefied on board of special vessels for liquefied natural gas, and less often by means of railway and road transport in thermally insulated tanks. Electricity is a secondary energy product and is the most widely-spread and practical form of energy due to its branched infrastructure all the way to the final consumer. Remote heating covers shortest distances. Slovenia is small and therefore the analysis of transport costs was performed at the longest possible distance from port in Koper to Lendava. The transport costs mainly depend on the quantity of transported energy products. Therefore,the quantity of 100 tons of lignite, which gives 1000 GJ of energy at average caloric value, was chosen as the reference. |
