Quality of renewable energy utilization in transport in Sweden Lampinen, Ari

By: Series: Acta Academiae Stromstadiensis ; 29Publication details: Strömstad Strömstad akademi, 2015Description: 55 sSubject(s): Online resources: Abstract: Renewable energy utilization in transportation (RES-T) is a long way behind its utilization in power (RES-E) and heat (RES-H) sectors. International and national environmental policies have recently given a lot of emphasis on this problem. For that reason information is sought on how to implement solutions both politically and technologically. As Sweden is a global leader in this area, it can provide valuable examples. In2012 Sweden became the first country to reach the binding requirement of the European Union for at least10 % share for renewable energy in transport energy consumption. But qualitative development has been even stronger than quantitative. Among the success stories behind qualitative progress, most noteworthy are those created by innovative municipal policies. By 2030 Sweden aims to achieve fossil fuel independent road transport system and by 2050 completely carbon neutral transport system in all modes of transport.
