Formas, The Swedish Energy Agency and Vinnova offer 34 million SEK in the international call on "Urban Accessibility and Connectivity" for stakeholders operating in Sweden in transnational projects.

In this call we welcome researchers who would like to supervise interdisciplinary PhD projects that study challenges within the energy system.

The EU Innovation Fund is one of the world’s largest funding programmes for demonstration of innovative low-carbon technologies. The European Commission will inform about the Innovation Fund and the first call for proposal which is expected to open in 2020.

With the help of carbon dioxide and residual flows, the company Perstorp will investigate the possibility of producing recycled methanol. The Swedish Energy Agency will partly finance this ambitious feasibility study.

Indonesia is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, with the ambition to change its energy system to a more sustainable and robust system. Through the Swedish Energy Agency's Business Accelerator Program Indonesia, Swedish companies have the opportunity to introduce their solutions to the Indonesian market. There is a great need for solutions that streamline the electricity grid, which three Swedish companies included in the program have discovered.

Indonesia faces major challenges with a growing economy and large population that is rapidly urbanizing. Therefore, Indonesia is seeking cooperation with countries such as Sweden that have come further in the transition to a sustainable society. Sweden has many companies with energy-efficient solutions that are relevant to Indonesia.

Global climate goals are set and the journey toward a sustainable future has begun. Sweden is committed to pushing boundaries and building a more sustainable future with a fossil-free transport sector at the latest by 2045.
