Swedes have also learned to consume less energy overall, too
Recently, Eurostat reported that the EU has managed to meet its 2020 goal of having at least 20% of the energy used in the bloc come from renewable sources. In fact, it deserves some praise since that target was even surpassed to reach 22.1%. One country, however, is the clear champion in that respect and that is Sweden.
The renewable energy that Swedes consume accounts for 60% of the total, and apparently the target of 50% was reached there 8 years ahead of schedule.
Another interesting for Sweden is that its overall consumption of energy has decreased since 2005, and that has happened despite population growth of 1.4 million people. The amount of energy used in that period has shrunken from 413 to 396 TWh.
Pretty impressive, indeed, and a demonstration that it is possible for a society to be sustainable in the contemporary world without seeking constant and exponential economic growth.
A breakdown in the different categories that define renewable energy consumption shows that the biggest increase can be seen in the consumption of biofuels, which was mainly in the industry and transport sector.
Sweden is well ahead of the pack when it comes to powering vehicles with renewable energy fuels, such as biofuels, hydrogen, biomethane and green electricity. 31.9% of the transport energy consumption comes from such sources when compared to an EU average of 10%. Even, the second country, Finland, only comes in at 13%!
The second-biggest increase when it comes to renewable energy consumption in Sweden was in wind power, followed by the use of heat pumps. Sweden only slightly trails Austria in terms of share of energy from renewable sources in gross electricity consumption - 74.5% and 78.2%, respectively.
As things stand, however, Sweden and the EU trail Norway and Iceland when it comes to using of renewable energy, as these countries have done great strides to convert to such types of power consumption. The renewable shares of total energy consumption for 2020 there were 77.4% and 83.7%, respectively.
