Presentation Transcript

  1. Swedish Energy Policy

  2. Relative Energy Supply 1800-2000 wood oil coal hydro new RES nuclear

  3. Current Energy Supply

  4. Energy policy goals • Security of supply, competitiveness, sustainability (Shared IEA goals) • Energy efficiency (20% until 2020, 50% in building sector 2050) • New renewable electricity, 17 TWh 2016 (~13 % of electricity supply), • Siting for wind power 10 TWh by 2015 • Reduce/break oil dependency by 2020

  5. EU goals Energy efficiency 20% by 2020 Renewable energy 20% by 2020 Greenhouse gas emissions -20% by 2020 alt. -30%. Single european market

  6. Target: efficient energy markets • Electricity market is already fully competitive • Common Nordic Electricity Market • (Small) Natural gas market has been fully opened in 2007 • Increased transparency in the District heating markets needed

  7. Policies and measures - examples • Economic instruments • Taxation, notably Carbon tax • Electricity Certificates • Emissions trading • Program for improving energy efficiency in energy intensive industry (PFE) • Research, development, demonstration, dissemination • Information • International cooperation

  8. Energy Policy Climate Policy Emission Trade Electricity Certificate Energy Taxes PFE CO2 Taxation Housing Industry Transport Power Heat Service Business Policy EU-directives, internationalization, development in other countries Financial Policy Measures in Sweden

  9. More recent developments • Emission trading system • Programme for energy efficiency in industrial sector • Responsibility for whole RTD budget • Additional focus on market introduction, innovation and commercialization • Initiatives for a new Climate Policy

  10. Commitments on Climate Issues • National Climate Commission, gives policy recommendations to the Government on new Climate Bill in 2008 • Scientific Council provides scientific assessments as second input to the Climate Bill • Climate investment program (SEK 1 billion) • sustainable cities, • energy efficiency measures, • pilot and demonstration projects for biofuels, • network for windfarming • climate research • international investments

  11. Programme for Energy Intense Industry - PFE • Industry gets tax exemption on electricity • In return, the companies have to improve their energy efficiency • 126 companies participate, using in total 30 TWH electricity per year (2004).

  12. Swedish Energy ResearchFocus areas • Buildings as energy systems • Energy intensive industry • Transport sector • Electricity generation and distribution • Bioenergy including CHP (Combined Heat & Power) • Energy system studies

  13. The Major Issues • Increased competition for energy resources • Climate impact from energy sector • Internationalisation of energy policy • Properly functioning energy markets • Various political targets; complex set of incentives

  14. Challenges: Electricity supply for energy intensive industry Sustainable mobility Low energy municipal sector Critical factors: Utilise research results Ambitious and realistic programmes for Energy efficiency Renewable energy The Road to Future Long time perspective Holistic perspective Co-operation

  15. Three strategic development plants Synthesis gas from black liquor Synthesis gas from biomass Ethanol from cellulose
