The Role of Gas and Gas Infrastructure in Swedish Decarbonisation Pathways 2020-2045
| 2021:788 | Alvaro Lara, Daan Peters, Tobias Fichter, Guidehouse
Sweden has set ambitious climate and energy targets to decarbonise its economy and energy system, and to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2045. To date, Sweden has already made significant progress in decarbonising the energy system, with much of its electricity and heating supply mix already made up of low-carbon and renewable energy.
Low-carbon and renewable gases like green hydrogen and biomethane – and their derivatives – have significant potential to play an enhanced role in the decarbonisation of the Swedish energy system, displacing fossil fuels from what would otherwise be hard-to-abate sectors. This report explores the role of renewable and low-carbon gas, and gas infrastructure, in a future climate-neutral Swedish energy system up to 2045.
