ElectriCity is a cooperative venture that’s not just about how its various participants have collaborated to make future transport independent of fossil fuels. It's also a story about how the transition to sustainable transport creates more attractive urban environments.

In 2018, Boliden initiated a pilot project with electrified transport in the Aitik mine in Norrbotten. A 700-metre electric trolley line was installed, and four mine trucks were converted for electric operation. The pilot project was successful and its evaluation resulted in the expansion of the Aitik system.

With a worldwide sphere of activity, the Absolicon company from Härnösand has moved into a top position with an invention that concentrates sunlight and generates steam and heat up to 160 degrees. The business idea is to sell robotic production lines that can mass produce the concentrating solar collectors. The robots produce one solar collector every six minutes.

The Swedish Energy Agency and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) has signed a cooperation agreement to launch a 3-year partnership with the aim to create international climate cooperation between Sweden and some of GGGI’s partner countries.
