ENERGY SCENARIO for Sweden 2050
August 2011
The report presents an energy scenario for Sweden aiming at providing close to 100% of the energy by renewable energy sources. Renewable resources should be produced with a high level of environmental concern and within the carrying capacity of the ecosystems. As a consequence biomass becomes a limited resource, especially since the transport sector in Sweden relies on fossil energy which needs to be substituted with domestically produced
renewable fuels, and electricity is produced with renewable energy technologies.
