Stockholm’s journey toward a climate-positive city

Stockholm has set very ambitious goals - to become climate positive by 2030 and fossil-free by 2040. The city’s energy transition has been steadily advancing since 1990. Achieving these targets requires phasing out all fossil fuels and developing innovative ways to capture carbon from the atmosphere. One major initiative is the development of a full-scale Bio-Carbon Capture and Storage system. In parallel, Stockholm is contributing to the ASCEND project, creating Positive Clean Energy Districts that combine energy efficiency, renewable energy, energy storage, decarbonized mobility, and active citizen engagement.
