Sweden Innovation Days’ Post

🌍🔋 Financing Green Industrial Transitions: A Swedish Case Study 🇸🇪 Achieving global climate targets requires significant emissions reductions from energy-intensive industries, which account for 25% of global CO2 emissions. 📚 A new journal article from Aaron Maltais and Kersti Karltorp investigates Sweden's progress in this area. Key Insights: ✴  Industry and financial actors in Sweden do not consider capital investments or financing availability as major barriers to industrial decarbonization. ✴ Non-financial barriers, such as market demand for green industrial products, infrastructure for low-carbon processes, and permitting processes, are seen as more critical. ✴ Early implementation of public financing for piloting and demonstrating low-emission processes and a national net-zero climate target help explain Sweden’s leadership in industrial decarbonization. ✴ Policymakers should focus on supporting innovation and creating the enabling conditions for green industrial products through  market demand measures and infrastructure investments 🇸🇪 Despite recent economic challenges, Sweden's major decarbonization projects seem unaffected, emphasizing the importance of long-term operating costs over upfront capital expenditure.

🟢 Dracula Technologies is proud to announce its commitment as a signatory of the Green Deal joint statement. Are you familiar with the ambition of the European #GreenDeal? It aims to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent, an incredible goal to safeguard the environment and future generations. Climate change and environmental degradation pose existential threats not only to Europe but to the world at large. To tackle these challenges, the European Green Deal will transform the EU into a modern, resource-efficient, and competitive economy, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050 while fostering robust economic growth. Dracula Technologies joins over 400 signatories from diverse sectors such as chemistry, renewable energies and maritime transport urging EU leaders to: - Confirm the EU Green Deal as a top priority in the upcoming EU strategic agenda and complement it with a Clean Industrial Deal aligned with Green Deal objectives. - Align all EU financial instruments with Green Deal targets for 2030 and beyond, including establishing a new investment plan in the Clean Industrial Deal within the next EU budget; support cities and regions in their transition. - Appoint an Executive Vice-President for the Green Deal and the Industrial Deal to ensure competitiveness and decarbonisation goals are efficiently met. Bertrand Piccard, President of the Solar Impulse Foundation, emphasises: "Ecology should not be seen as costly, restrictive, or inaccessible (...). Politicians from all backgrounds must recognise that the Green Deal and environmental protection can be economically beneficial, creating jobs, valorising resources, and enhancing energy independence and sovereignty. It is therefore in their interest to support and promote renewable energies and energy efficiency. Europe's competitiveness and independence will be strengthened as a result."

🌍 Decarbonisation Policy Deep Dive: Key Learnings from Four Countries 🌍 I’ve just completed a comprehensive analysis comparing the decarbonisation policies of four different countries, and what a journey it’s been! 😅 Each nation faces the challenge of balancing incentives and regulations while protecting vulnerable communities. I grounded my research in official government sources, though it was a challenge to navigate the different styles and evolving data—sometimes making my findings obsolete almost instantly. Engaging with energy experts in Germany and EU-level projects added valuable insights. Conversations during related hearings opened my perspective on the broader implications of decarbonisation strategies across regions. This cross-pollination of ideas was particularly enriching and has already influenced other research projects. Looking ahead, I’m excited to dive into my next research project and attend the upcoming Stadtwerke expo. Onward and upward! 🚀 #Decarbonisation #EnergyPolicy #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #Research #EU #Innovation #ClimateAction
