Plan For A Fossil-Fuel Free Stockholm 2050*
Plan for a
fossil-fuel free Stockholm 2050 is a proposal report
produced by the City of Stockholm in early 2013. The
report states that it is possible by 2050 to achieve the
goal of no energy of fossil origin being used in
Stockholm (the exception being waste combustion of
fossil plastics, aviation fuel and fuel for shipping).
Fossil-fuel free means that all fossil fuels should be
replaced by a renewable fuel or a fossil free energy
source while at the same time make the fuel usage more
energy efficient.
