Stakeholders were invited to come to Stockholm for half a day of reporting of preliminary research results and discussions of the wider challenges of decarbonisation of trucks.
In the first part Björn Nykvist from SEI presented three stakeholder-generated alternative scenarios for road freight decarbonisation in Sweden to 2045. Three researchers, Maria Taljegard (Chalmers University of Technology), Olle Olsson (SEI), and Max Åhman (Lund University), presented further content and reflections on core components of each of these scenarios related to electric road systems, biofuels, electrification, and hydrogen.
In a second part, the focus was on international outlooks towards global challenges. In this session Roberto Schaeffer (Professor and Director COPPE/Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and member of SEI Science Advisory Council), Malin Berg von Linde (Cambridge Econometrics), and Björn Nykvist (SEI) gave presentations on the challenges and opportunities of global relevance including policy challenges, the varying macro-economic effects, and prospects of upscaling the different options that Sweden spearhead.
