Sweden has topped the World Economic Forum’s Energy Transition Index for the ninth year in a row!   The Energy Transition Index benchmarks 120 countries on their current energy system solely performance and on the readiness of their enabling environment. Sweden topped the list ahead of Denmark, Finland, Switzerland and France. The report "Fostering effective energy transition 2024" shows that there has been notable progress in energy efficiency and a marked increase in the adoption of clean energy sources. However, energy transition momentum has been affected by rising energy prices in recent years. Energy security also continues to be tested by geopolitical risks. Read more about the report here: https://lnkd.in/dzAVxAkt Did you know that Gothenburg wants to be a role model for environmental sustainability? The city has an environment and climate programme in place that includes, for example, having a climate footprint close to zero by 2030, and producing energy from renewable sources. This is just part of the reason why Gothenburg is an excellent choice for companies and individuals who want to drive the transition towards a more sustainable future. #sweden #energytransition #sustainabledevelopment

The green transition is happening. How much fossil fuel do we need and for how long? What’s needed to accelerate the shift to a greener future?   On Thursday, the focus was on the green transition. We heard from Alasdair Ross, countries editor at The Economist who gave the keynote speech. He also led a conversation with local champions of the shift to net-zero, Polestar’s Hans Pehrson and St1 Sverige AB’s Marlene Burwick, and our CEO, Patrik Andersson. Here are some of the messages from the stage: 👉 The change towards a greener future is happening, it is not a question of if, but when and how. 👉 Oil has been powering industries and fueling transportation for 150 years, so it is inevitable that change takes time.  👉 Two major hurdles that need to be overcome to ensure a full electric revolution are intermittency and transportability of renewable energy.   👉 Urgent action is needed to tackle the climate crisis. 👉 Innovation is an important part of the solution and for that we need more scientists, engineers, private investment and public investment. 👉 Sweden’s innovativeness is a great asset for its long-term competitiveness. 👉 Fuel cells, batteries, hydrogen and sustainable biofuels all hold promise. 👉 Companies, politicians and private individuals need to do what they can to accelerate the change. 👉 Business Region Göteborg and public actors in the region are helping industry’s green transition, by among other things, supporting projects like Gothenburg’s gigafactory and Mission Zero House, a collaboration involving leading actors in manufacturing and materials industries and academia.     The event was held at Stena Line’s office in Gothenburg and hosted in cooperation with the British-Swedish Chamber of Commerce, In Press, Stockholm Business Region, Invest in Skåne and Business Region Göteborg AB.
