The Swedish Energy Agency grants the chemical group Perstorp just under SEK 295 million.  The chemical group Perstorp will, in cooperation with Fortum and Uniper, invest in a plant to produce climate-neutral methanol. The goal is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions across the entire value chain by approximately 500,000 tonnes per year. This project is part of the Industrial Leap programme, which supports the industry's transition to net zero emissions.

The Swedish Energy Agency is working closely with potential activity developers and host countries to develop bilateral cooperation under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Next steps involve a procurement of activities for the generation and contracting of emission reductions.

Sweden aims to become a fossil-free welfare nation by 2045. This call for proposals provides aid to projects which, based on sustainable biobased raw materials, have the potential to contribute to solving the energy and climate challenges that Sweden faces as part of meeting this goal. This means that the projects must be relevant to the future energy system, while at the same time contributing to solving the climate challenges.
