Abstract

The article presents a new report by the International Energy Agency suggesting that the Nordic region could become carbon neutral by 2050, if major changes are made in its energy sector. The report outlines how the Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden can use their extensive renewable energy resources to decarbonize their power sectors and electrify transport. Improved energy efficiency will account for much of the emissions reductions in the short term.
