Industry
Industry accounts for a significant share of Sweden’s energy consumption and emissions as well as electricity and heat generation. It also contributes to exports, employment and welfare.
Industry plays a crucial role in the transition towards a sustainable energy system and in meeting the target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045.
The Swedish Energy Agency provides financial support for projects with strong potential to foster a resource-efficient and climate-neutral industrial sector. The Agency’s initiatives aim at ensuring that Swedish industry remains competitive in the long term and delivers resource-efficient and climate-neutral products, processes and services to the global market. These efforts also help maintain Swedish expertise and technology at an international level and support the achievement of global sustainability goals.
Strategic areas
- Net-zero emissions from industrial processes
- Energy- and resource-efficient production processes
- Energy- and climate-smart materials and products
- Sustainable business practices and market
A large part of the Agency’s funding activities is carried out through calls within various programmes.
