The Swedish Energy Agency International

The Swedish Energy Agency will be present during COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, 11-22 November. One of our main focus areas during the meeting is to negotiate the rules of emissions trading under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. We also aim to establish new bilateral agreements for Article 6 cooperation that can further contribute to closing the finance gap and raising mitigation ambition. If you want to learn more about carbon markets under Article 6, take a look at our brand new video below. #EmissionsTrading #COP29 #ParisAgreement COP29 Azerbaijan

Sweden is the first country to establish a trust fund under the Global Green Growth Institute’s (GGGI) new initiative Carbon Transaction Facility (CTF). The fund will support the development and implementation of climate projects that promote green technologies and capacity building in other countries, as well as contributing to the achievement of Sweden’s national climate targets. – Through this partnership, we are scaling up Sweden’s engagement in the carbon market, aiming to accelerate green growth development worldwide. GGGI brings valuable experience to this field and has relevant expertise to work with countries where mitigation activities can be implemented, says Sandra Lindström, Head of International Climate Cooperation at the Swedish Energy Agency. The Swedish Energy Agency has collaborated with Global Green Growth Institute since 2019. #ClimateProjects #CarbonTransactionFacility

Exploring Sweden's Competitive Edge in Cleantech: Can We Achieve a Green Transition? “Sweden has been punching a lot above its weight”, says Julia Reinaud, Senior Director, Breakthrough Energy Europe, during our conference Sweden Sustaintech Veture Day. Julia shared her perspective on Swedish cleantech companies and the challenges they are facing, but also why she thinks Sweden has a unique position. The need to meet and discuss financing, as well as the challenges and opportunities facing the cleantech sector, is significant. To address this need, the Swedish Energy Agency has organized Sweden Sustaintech Venture Day for the past six years. This event serves as a meeting point where Swedish and international investors connect with leading Swedish growth companies in the energy sector.

The Swedish Energy Agency and Rwanda's Ministry of the Environment have signed a Memorandum of Understanding on emissions trading under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. – This is a first step towards establishing projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to the energy transition in Rwanda. There are also great opportunities to simultaneously improve the conditions for local populations and contribute to sustainable development in the country, says Sandra Lindström, head of the unit for international climate cooperation at the Swedish Energy Agency. The next step is to negotiate a legally binding bilateral framework agreement on emissions trading between the two countries. – Rwanda has shown that it is possible to combine economic growth with ambitious climate goals. Through its initiatives in sustainable energy and green development, Rwanda can become a source of inspiration for other countries, says Martina Fors Mohlin, chargé d'affaires at the Swedish embassy in Kigali.

The iron and steel industry is important for the Swedish economy, but is also emission-intensive. The Swedish Energy Agency is now granting Stegra, previously H2 Green Steel, SEK 1.2 billion in state aid to build the world's first large-scale facility for low-carbon steel production. The state aid is provided through the Swedish government-initiated Industrial Leap programme and is approved by the European Commission. – Swedish industrial companies have the potential to become world leaders while contributing to the green transition of society as a whole. Initiatives within the Industrial Leap are of great importance for both the climate and the competitiveness of our industry, says Caroline Asserup, interim Director General at the Swedish Energy Agency.
