🌟 Exciting developments in sustainable transport!   Gothenburg is once again taking a leading role in the green transition with a project aiming to support the transition of the boating industry through electrification. This innovative initiative, a collaboration between Sweden and Norway, will establish over 400 charging points for electric boats along the coast from Gothenburg to Kristiansand in Norway. 🔌 🚤   The go:LEIF project highlights the region's commitment to sustainable transport and green innovation. By focusing on smart technology and sustainable business models, Gothenburg and its partners are setting the standard for the future of recreational boating. This project not only supports the reduction of CO2 emissions but also promotes the use of renewable energy sources.   Key objectives of the project include: ✔ Increasing interest and knowledge in electric boating among ports, municipalities, and boat enthusiasts. ✔ Providing testbeds for developing and demonstrating new charging infrastructure. ✔ Strengthening regional business and technology development in electric mobility. ✔ Conducting research to support the sustainable growth of electric boating.   The project is already making significant strides, having recently launched a super fast charger in Lysekil on the Swedish west coast and established both public and homeport charging stations in two Gothenburg marinas.   The green transition demands collaboration, and in Gothenburg, we are masters of collaboration. Join us in this collective effort to achieve the sustainable boating of future! 🌍⚡🚤   📖 Read more about the project: https://lnkd.in/dMe6vJDp   Co-financiers: Interreg Öresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak and Västra Götalandsregionen.   Project partners: Agder fylkeskommune, Arendal kommune, Business Region Göteborg, Lydløs, Fyrbodals kommunalförbund, Göteborgsregionens Fritidshamnar AB (GREFAB), Göteborgsregionen, Innovatum Science Park, LEVA i Lysekil AB, Lysekils kommun, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, and Universitetet i Sørøst-Norge.   #Gothenburg #SustainableTransport #GreenInnovation #ElectricBoats #goLEIF

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.
