The Path towards a Fossil-Free Transportation System in Sweden

Prof. Mats ANDERSSON, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden

The scientific evidence is points at an accelerating global warming with increasingly negative impact on ecosystems and society, including sea level rise and more extreme weather conditions. The emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from human activities is the main driver of the global warming, where the use of fossil fuels is the biggest source of emissions. There is a growing awareness that the emission of greenhouse gases needs to be curbed drastically and that the reductions need to be implemented without delay.
In this presentation the measures to reduce CO2 emissions planned in Sweden will be described with a background of the Swedish energy system. Sweden is in a better position than many countries to remove fossil fuels from the energy system, since the share of fossil energy is lower than in many other countries and there is, in relative terms, a higher share of bioenergy and renewable electricity. Still a transition to a fossil-free future will not be without significant challenges.

The focus of the presentation will be on achieving fossil-independent transportation. Government policies (present and proposed) will be reviewed, initiatives by energy and vehicle companies will be described, and my perspective as a researcher in combustion engine and vehicle propulsion technology will be given. There is not a single solution but a range of measures that need to be undertaken. Overall, the demand for transportation need to be reduced and transport efficiency need to be increased. Electrification will play a major role for road transport. In applications where batteries are not suitable, hydrogen is expected to be a preferred energy carrier combined with a fuel cell or a combustion engine. Still there are applications in which liquid fuel is difficult to replace and biofuels and electrofuels can be the solution if available in sufficient quantities. The advantages and limitations of different technologies will be discussed.
