Transport
The transport sector currently accounts for one‑third of Sweden’s greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve the national climate target of net‑zero emissions by 2045, domestic transport‑related emissions need to be reduced by 70 per cent by 2030.
Emissions in the transport sector consist of emissions from domestic transport, international sea and air travel, and transport‑related emissions linked to the import of consumer goods.
The Swedish Energy Agency supports research and innovation aimed at more energy‑efficient and environmentally sustainable transport systems and provides support to bring innovations to the market both nationally and internationally.
Measures that deliver radical reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are now required, rather than incremental improvements. The Swedish Energy Agency also supports research aimed at reducing the need for travel.
Priority areas:
- A transport‑efficient society.
- Resource‑efficient and fossil‑free vehicles and vessels.
- Renewable transport fuels.
