About the event

At the event, the report Nordic Clean Energy Scenarios is launched and three possible future scenarios for the Nordic energy system are presented.

Nordic Clean Energy Scenarios is a journey towards carbon neutrality. The scenarios illustrate how technological and societal developments might shape the Nordic energy system of the future.

By signing up you will get insight into how the Nordic countries - through various technological and societal pathways - can achieve carbon neutrality.

The scenario: Nordic Powerhouse – dive deeper into the potential role the Nordic countries could have by providing carbon storage, clean electricity, and fossil-free fuels to the greater European energy transition.

The scenario: Climate Neutral Behaviour – explores what role additional energy and material efficiency across all sectors, and lower demand for energy services could have in easing the transition.

Finally, the two scenarios: Nordic Powerhouse and Climate Neutral Behaviour will be framed and compared with a third scenario Carbon-Neutral Nordic, which focuses on the national goals of the Nordic countries.

The results from the three scenarios will be presented within the framework of five different solution tracks for achieving carbon neutrality that emerged from the project.
