Göteborg Energi sees biogas as one of the most important renewable fuels of the future and a key to the transition to a fossil-free society.

Gothenburg is currently the scene of ElectriCity – an exciting cooperative venture bringing together industry, research and society in the development and testing of solutions for next-generation sustainable public transport.

See how Gothenburg develops flexible and sustainable mobility solutions and services using electrical vehicles. Focusing on higher transport efficiency and sustainability, the city runs an array of leading projects in the field.

On the small island of Händelö, a part of the city of Norrköping in East Sweden, there is a remarkable energy symbiosis where the surplus from one company is used as a input to a neighbouring company. Everything is based on green energy!

How do we live in the future? HSB Living Lab is a research and demonstration arena, consisting of actual homes for students and guest researchers.

This tour shows Gothenburg’s different strategies and initiatives for greener goods transport and how this decreases the climate effects.

Gothenburg solves its energy challenges with a combination of previous initiatives and new technology. District heating was first introduced back in the 1950s, and the whole of Gothenburg is heated with energy that would otherwise have been wasted.

City of Gothenburg will in the project IRIS, together with Utrecht and Nice, address to the urgent need to deliver energy and mobility services in a more sustainable way, and contribute to a more urban quality of life. For five years the project will continue to test and work with smart city solutions on many levels, and with different stakeholders in cooperation for the best added value.

The program focuses on sustainable waste management, presenting a complete waste and recycling system for an urban region with almost one million inhabitants.

Take the chance to learn from Gothenburg’s environmental journey, looking both back and forward. We explore and explain the change from a highly polluted, heavy industry cluster to the greener, vibrant and energy efficient city of today.

Explore a sustainable and smart city. Gothenburg is rapidly progressing towards a low carbon economy, through a fully integrated approach to city energy flows.

This visit program shares Gothenburg’s strategy for setting up a climate program and green bonds as a tool to reach environmental goals.
