Consumption-based scenarios and climate policy analyses for Sweden
Scenario analyses of climate measures often focus on actions within the manufacturing and energy industries rather than the potential for reduced demand, including lifestyle changes. This project aims to analyse development pathways to net-zero consumption-based climate emissions and a renewable energy system.
The project uses consumption patterns from different household groups (based on income levels, place of residence, and environmental awareness) to develop national scenarios aligned with the IPCC’s socioeconomic development pathways. These consumption patterns, together with an energy system model, enable quantification of how various measures impact the energy system—such as the Fit-for-55 package and new technologies (e.g., flexible control of heating)—as well as their effects on household expenditures and carbon footprints, while also capturing rebound effects from lifestyle changes.
In the project, RISE focuses on demand-side flexibility in the energy system.
The project results are expected to be useful for designing Swedish climate policy instruments and are being developed in close collaboration with the business sector and the greentech company Svalna.
