In Sweden, a new concept builds on the award-winning Sleipner PCTC concept and on operational data from the Sleipner vessels Future Way and Way Forward. The new RoRo design, which includes an engine room in the bow, creates (despite its length of 170 metres) a large cargo capacity of 2,720 lane metres, equivalent to 181 […]
In Sweden, Söderenergi is now taking a historic step in climate work and reserves the very first negative emissions from its planned bio-CCS facility for AstraZeneca. Starting in 2030, South Energy will have the capacity to permanently separate up to 500 000 tons of biogenic carbon dioxide from Igelstaverket in Södertälje. Söderenergi is currently working […]
In Sweden, Qarlbo Biodiversity has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Woodland Biofuels to supply up to 500,000 tons of sustainably harvested pine forest thinnings from properties it manages using its Nature+® Forest Management Strategy. This agreement marks a significant milestone in implementing the Nature+® Strategy, an innovative approach to ecological stewardship that goes […]
In Sweden, a boho label owned by fast-fashion giant H&M has introduced an “ocean-inspired” line made with seaweed-based fibers from Keel Labs. Dubbed Kelsun, the fiber is being used by & Other Stories’ designer Frida Billegren in apparel that highlight the “fluid beauty” of ocean creatures such as sea anemones. “We continuously seek new technologies and […]
In Sweden, Kraftringen will invest SEK 2.4 billion in a new CHP plant in Örtofta outside Eslöv, after a unanimous board voted in favor.

The innovation […]
In Sweden, a biotechnology company working to develop a biobased heat seal coating solution for packaging applications has received a €2.2 million (US$2.5 million) from the L’Instrument Financier pour l’Environnement program. The grant will support formulation and demonstration of Ecohelix’s Woodmer initiative, which aims to use a wood-based packaging alternative to fossil- and food-derived polymers […]
In Sweden, NCL Nordland, the second in a pair of container ships designed to champion bio-methanol in low-carbon shipping, has now entered service, following the successful launch of its sister vessel Vestland. The latter confirmed that Berg Propulsion’s solution enhances efficiency across different energy sources. Owned by MPC Container Ships, these dual fuel 1300 TEU […]
In Sweden, for the first time, St1 and St1 Biokraft have delivered their own Swedish-produced liquefied biomethane to the maritime sector — as Terntank’s vessel Tern Ocean was bunkered at the Port of Gothenburg. St1 and St1 Biokraft are now aiming to become large-scale suppliers of biomethane for shipping, while the Port of Gothenburg continues […]
In Sweden, researchers at Chalmers University have used an advanced model that includes more technologies and a higher level of detail than previous similar studies. The model also shows how all society sectors affect each other within the energy system. The new study thus provides an expanded knowledge base for policy development – not least […]
