The Green Party is running for election on a goal of making Sweden self-sufficient in sustainable biofuels to become independent of fossil oil and gas. This target is set to be achieved during the 2030s, according to the party. To reach this objective, the goal will be implemented through a significant increase in domestic biogas production and through state support and risk-sharing in new production of sustainable biofuels.
However, specific policies or legislation to enact this plan have not been detailed, and it remains unclear how much domestic biogas production will increase from current levels. The estimated cost of the state support and risk-sharing programs is also unknown, as is the Green Party's precise definition of 'sustainable biofuels' in this context. Potential environmental or economic impacts on Sweden's energy sector from this initiative have not been fully outlined.
