About Swedish Renewable Energy Alliance in Taiwan
SWEDEN LEADS INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY DEVELOLPMENT
Sweden has established a set of goals to achieve sustainability and green transition. Sweden is the pioneer of sustainability in Europe with the highest share of energy use generated by renewable sources, and it sets the clear direction to advance to 100% of Renewable Energy by 2040 and reach net zero target by 2045.
In Sweden, the carbon tax has paved the long way; however, it has never deteriorated the economic development in Sweden. Rather, it clearly shows the possibility to grow with responsibility. Sweden was one of the world’s first countries to implement the carbon tax in 1991 and today has the highest carbon tax in the world (USD 137 per ton) which has contributed to reduce Sweden's carbon emissions by 29%; while GDP has grown by 84%.
WORLD-LEADING PARTNERS FOR TAIWANESE RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT
Swedish companies are global leaders across the whole renewable energy value chain with expertise in sustainability, innovation and reliability. Despite high global rankings both in percentage of total renewables and growth of renewable energy sources, Sweden has set ambitious goals for renewable energy use and output. These targets are fueling growth across the entire sector and strengthening all market players including developers, engineers, financing and material solutions. Many Swedish companies see Taiwan and the wider Asia region as the next step in international expansion.
