Stockholm Exergi

Circular Economy Act call for evidence, contribution from Stockholm Exergi Stockholm Exergi is the energy company serving Swedens capital. We ensure that the region can continue to grow with resource-efficient access to heating, electricity, cooling, and waste treatment services.

Stockholm Exergi believes that it is far too early to start an adjustment of the sustainability criteria in REDII. Any adjustment must be based on learnings from the ongoing implementation of the current REDII. Bioenergy is the leading energy source in Sweden.

Stockholm Exergi welcomes and endorses the proposal of the EU Commission for a regulation on an EU-wide framework for the certification of negative emissions ("carbon removals"). Stockholm Exergi believes that the proposal and the subsequent work constitute a very important step in promoting the emergence of a voluntary market for trade in negative emissions, which in turn constitutes an essential element of the…

Stockholm Exergi applauds the CRC-M initiative. A robust certification mechanism is essential for volume deployment of removals with geological storage. Based on the recent IPCC report and the extra-ordinary climate value delivered by removals with permanent storage, and considering the challenges in scaling this industry, we believe that the EU should give high priority to these types of removals in the CRC-M.

Stockholm Exergi has submitted a response to the invitation to provide comments on the draft EU Green Claims Directive. The full response is provided as a public PDF-document, also available at https://beccs.se/about-beccs-stockholm/documents/. In the response, we propose Ten Principles for Claiming and Accounting of Net-zero and Permanent Negative Emissions (PNEs). The ten principles are: 1.

Make Negative emissions an explicit part of Fit for 55 already now With the urgency to build a completely new industry for negative emissions where the commitment of governments to engage in this task must be ensured without delay, negative emissions should already now become part of the Fit for 55 package.

Stockholm Exergi Feedback with regard to the inclusion of Cascading of biomass in relation to the promotion of the Circular Economy. There is a range of harvested forest biomass that is not suitable for long-lived wood products but can be used for many other applications.

Stockholm Exergi would like to emphasise the critical importance of the 2040 target in sending a clear message to investors, other market actors, citizens and Member States parties and legislators. The political signal sent by the 2040 climate target is fundamental for Europes ability to reach net-zero by 2050.

Make Negative emissions an explicit part of Fit for 55 already now With the urgency to build a completely new industry for negative emissions where the commitment of governments to engage in this task must be ensured without delay, negative emissions should already now become part of the Fit for 55 package.

A sustainable bioeconomy is inevitable if the goals of the Paris agreement are to be achieved. According to IPCC scenarios, biomass will replace fossil fuels and raw materials, but also provides the opportunity for permanent removals through BECCS. Stockholm Exergi is producing heat and electricity from forestry residues.
