Zero Emission Transport Examples
Stockholm plans to declare two zero emission zones (ZEZ) by 2026: the Old Town (Gamla Stan) in the city center and another area. Only emission-free vehicles will be able to pass through these zones; clean transport will be encouraged with parking fees and licensing systems. Additionally, the 'clean air zone' application in Stockholm has been active since 1996; it is among the first.
More than 90% of public transport buses in Sweden operate without fossil fuels; approximately 10% are fully electric, the rest use biofuel/HVO100. In Stockholm, it is aimed to make the entire bus fleet electric by 2035.
The FlagshipONE plant established in Örnsköldsvik has a capacity to produce 50,000 tons of e-methanol annually. This product offers a carbon-neutral alternative in maritime transport with CO₂ obtained from green hydrogen and biomass. Additionally, green methanol pilot projects were launched in northern Sweden in cooperation with Liquid Wind and CRI.
In Stockholm, the congestion tax was made permanent in 2007 and quickly reduced traffic by 20-25%, contributing positively to air quality. The revenues from this application are also directed to road infrastructure and public transport. At the same time, low-emission zones called 'miljözon' are active in many Swedish cities.
