Prominent strategies for environmental sustainablility
- in corporations in the energy sector
There is an obvious need for the stationary energy sector to intensify its efforts to contribute to sustainable development, both at a strategy level and in order to integrate sustainable practices in its operations. To gain insight in how environmental sustainability is put into practice within corporations, close-up investigation is essential. For this reason, case studies of companies with a prominent strategy for environmental sustainability were chose as a research methodology.

Winners and losers among the renewable energy alternatives
Less biofuel when EU´s three 20% goals are applied
EU’s 20 % goals regarding increased use of renewable energy, reduced use of energy and reduced emissions of greenhouse gases stimulate, as expected, the use of renewable energy in the Nordic countries. Model calculations from the NEP project show that the use of wind power and heat pumps increase significantly, while the use of biofuels grows slower than in a situation where only the present policy instruments are used.

40% CO₂ reduction in the energy system
EU's goals for renewables and efficiency have significant CO₂ impact in the Nordic energy system
EU’s goals of at least 20 % renewables in the energy mix and a reduction of the use of energy by 20 % through efficiency measures will become powerful instruments also for the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. Model calculations from the NEP project show that the two 20 % goals together will reduce the carbon dioxide emissions from the Nordic energy system (excluding transportation) by as much as 40 %.
