Sweden Is Leading A Renewable Energy Revolution Aims To Go Completely Free Of Fossil Fuels


With the world's fossil fuel stocks running out there is an increasing awareness globally on switching to renewable energy sources. It's perhaps best evident in Sweden, a country which currently meets around 52 percent of its total energy needs through renewable sources.



In 2015 Swedish Prime Minister Göran Persson, while addressing the UN, had laid out an ambitious plan to make his country "one of the first fossil fuel-free welfare states of the world."

The country which since 2013 has been gradually increasing its dependency on renewable energy has set a goal of going fossil fuel-free by the year 2020. The country is also pumping in large amount of resources in an effort to embrace green-energy. An extra $546 million was allocated in the budget 2016 for renewable energy and climate change action.
