It is a \u201cgolden solution\u201d, said Climate and Environment Minister Romina Pourmokhtari (Liberals, Renew), adding that \u201cthe blending of biofuels can increase without raising the price at the pump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The reduction obligation requires companies that sell petrol and diesel to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mainly by blending more renewable fuels \u2013 a mechanism that leads to higher prices at the pump, comparable to a hidden fuel tax and therefore unpopular. Last year, the Swedish government lowered the reduction obligation for fossil fuels from 30.5% for diesel and 7.8% for petrol to a low 6%, effectively reducing the reduction obligation from the EU\u2019s highest level to the EU\u2019s minimum.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, the government\u2019s reduction in biofuel blending was heavily criticised because, according to the Swedish Climate Policy Council\u2019s annual assessment, Sweden was regressing in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions while the EU was progressing. For Sweden, the reduction also meant that the country was on track to miss both the EU\u2019s and Sweden\u2019s own 2030 climate targets.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euractiv.com\/section\/politics\/news\/sweden-to-raise-fossil-fuel-reduction-targets-to-level-with-eu-climate-goals\/\">Euractiv<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-582\/\">Sweden to raise fossil fuel reduction targets to level with EU climate goals<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[4416,575,702,848],"class_list":["post-133316","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-climate-goal","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-fossil-fuel","tag-sweden"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133316\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
