  6. Decoupling: reduced emission, growing economy

  7. Renewable energy use and goals for 2020

  8. Increasing share of renewable energy consumption in Sweden

  9. Decarbonising Sweden Estimated reduction between 1990 and 2020 (millions of tonnes) Greenhouse gases in carbon equivalents.

  10. Regional energy and climate strategy • The energy and climate initiatives in Östergötlandare to: • build on the strengths of Östergötland • give due consideration to the regional environmental targets and conserve resources • create sustained regional growth and be a model to others • initiate research and development and apply knowledge.

  11.

  13. Action plan for energy efficiency • Promotion of local and regional actions • Promotion of more information and advice • Voluntary contracts for municipalities & county councils • Subsidies for energy analysis in companies/industry • Promotion of public procurement of energy efficient products • Demand for individual measurements of electricity and hotwater

  14. Benefits of regional cooperation • Grant applications, funding • Networking • Marketing and information • Coordination and catalyzing efforts • Easier to reach environmental targets • Identify and eliminate obstacles • Management of meetings and seminars • Regional studies
