A bit about Sweden
• Area of 450,000 km2 (more than 3x the size of Southern Ontario)
• Population of 9.2 million (c.f. S. Ontario – 12.1 million)
• Emissions of 64.0 Mt CO2e in 2008 (down 11% from 1990 levels)
• Carbon tax instituted in 1991 – now equal to approximately $150/tonne

What does that mean? How is Sweden relevant to Canada?
• Sweden is very similar in many ways to Ontario and Quebec– Few energy resources, save
hydroelectricity• Half of power demand met by nuclear
– Similar climate and geography (a bit milder in winter, a bit cooler in summer)
– Excellent wood and mineral resources– Similar population densities

Differences between Sweden and Canada – taxes! (and public services)
• Sweden is different in some key ways– Carbon tax! SEK1010/tonne of CO2
– Income taxes• First to municipalities and counties• Then to national government; equalization
– Sales tax and property taxes to national government
– No social housing

Transport – Bicycle Lanes
Bicycling paths are separated from roads (in this case, they’re curbed) and follow main, fast routes to get from point A to point B

Wind power in Sweden
• A little behind– only 1,067 MW so far as of 2008, compared to 3,160 in Denmark

Conclusions
• Sweden has made a commitment to low-carbon fuels, especially biomass
• This commitment is manifested through a carbon tax that drives green energy
• Sweden has many key similarities to Ontario and Québec, though some differences
• Transportation planning and urban form offer more people the opportunity to live low-carbon lifestyles
