Mistra Carbon Exit
Pathways to Net Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Supply Chains
Mistra Carbon Exit identifies and analyzes the technical, economic and political opportunities and challenges for Sweden to reach the target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045.
Exiting the carbon society requires a transition with respect to virtually all industrial processes and their associated products and services. Mistra Carbon Exit takes on this challenge by focusing on opportunities and barriers for mitigating carbon emissions along the industry supply chains - from the input of raw materials, over primary and secondary activities, to the final products and services demanded by the end user.
The programme is designed to generate new knowledge and develop strategies that will enable Swedish society and Swedish companies to become front runners in offering low- or zero-carbon products and services.
In four industrial case studies we investigate the supply chains buildings, transportation infrastructure and transportation, covering at least 75 percent of Sweden’s CO2 emissions. Five academic work packages supports these case studies with a high level of cross-interaction.
The Mistra Carbon Exit consortium includes a broad representation actors of within industry, authorities and civil society: 10 academic centers, 16 companies, 1 municipality, 2 regions and 2 NGO:s.
Mistra Carbon Exit’s Annual report presents examples from our research, including the work of our five PhD students. We have also asked some of our senior researchers and industrial partners to reflect on the programme and provide key deliverables, communication activities and publications from the year 2023.
Lars Zetterberg, programme manager for Mistra Carbon Exit, was one of the speakers at Mistra's anniversary seminar in Skellefteå in February.
The Inflation Reduction Act, often called IRA, is the main political policy for the climate issue in the United States. This reports answers questions about the its effects based on analysis and facts.
CCS, Carbon capture and storage, is needed to complement other climate measures. With the right policy, Sweden can become a leader in developing this technology. So, write researchers within Mistra Carbon Exit in a new SNS report.
Mistra Carbon Exit´s fifth programme conference 18-19 September 2023 gave important takeaways on subjects such as the development in north Sweden, transport, building and infrastructure and the changing policies in the EU and the US.
