Up to 600 km on a single charge. That’s how far the next generation of electric trucks from Volvo Trucks will be able to travel. This range represents a breakthrough for long-distance transport without exhaust emissions.
Skellefteå Kraft and SkyNRG have entered into a partnership to produce sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) in Skelleftehamn. The project, called SkyKraft, plans to use biogenic carbon dioxide and renewable hydrogen to produce 100,000 tons of eSAF per year, equivalent to the fuel needed for 60,000 people to fly around the world.
New data indicates that Sweden generated a staggering 164 million tons of waste in 2022, marking an increase from the previous assessment in 2020. The majority of this waste, 86 percent, was mineral waste. Excluding mineral waste, 22.6 million tons of waste were produced, primarily from the construction industry and households.
