What is the Faroe Islands’ plan for becoming carbon neutral?
Isolated and remote regions face distinct energy challenges in a literal as well as practical sense. The unaccessible character of remote areas gives rise to specific barriers to implementing green energy solutions. However, Nordic islands and remote areas have come a long way in their research and technology for being CO2-neutral, gaining global interest and the necessary prerequisites for becoming leading examples within the field of carbon-neutral strategies. One of the Nordic islands playing a significant role in advancing green…
What is Nordic Clean Energy Scenarios?
Nordic Clean Energy Scenarios has two aims: To identify necessary actions to reduce energy-related emissions leading up to 2030 through scenario modelling, and map potential long-term pathways to carbon neutrality. Nordic Clean Energy Scenarios is intended to support the joint Declaration on Nordic Carbon Neutrality. Supporting the Nordic Vision Nordic Clean Energy Scenarios guides you through the region’s energy system and illustrates how the countries can achieve the Nordic Vision 2030, to become the most sustainable and integrated region in the world, by…
