Lars Zetterberg and Filip Johnsson from the program management for Mistra Carbon Exit recently presented research and conclusions on the Ukraine war’s impact on the transition in Europe. The presentation was made at a breakfast meeting with the think tank Fores, one of the partners in Mistra Carbon Exit.
Read MoreRussia's war in Ukraine affects climate change in Sweden and the EU. The Mistra Carbon Exit has studied this in a new report focusing on energy, critical minerals, climate policies and the European dependence on Russian fossil fuels.
Read MoreIda Karlsson is a PhD student within the research program Mistra Carbon Exit at Chalmers University of Technology. Listen to her in Sweden's largest podcast in civil engineering.
Read MoreBattery materials for Swedish electric cars and elictrifation of heavy duty transport are two proposals for Master thesis projects were applications are now welcome.
Read MoreHow does Russia's war in Ukraine affect climate change in Sweden and within the EU? The Mistra Carbon Exit research programme has studied this in a new report that focuses on the energy, critical minerals and climate policy.
Read MoreMistra Carbon exit genomförde i juni den första programkonferensen sedan pandemin. Nu visas forskningsprogrammets vidd när det gäller en omställning till fossilfrihet.
Read MoreAre Sweden's climate goals in line with the Paris Agreement and the principles of justice? Mistra Carbon Exit researchers Johannes Morfeldt, Christian Azar and Daniel J.A. Johansson conclude that Sweden's current territorial climate targets are compatible with the 1.5 degree target, given that the global emission space is distributed evenly per person and year.
Read MoreThe Year 2021 was the first year of the second phase of Mistra Carbon Exit. This annual report gives some further examples of our activities in 2021.
Read MoreWe need to dramatically accelerate the climate transition. In this publication we present the main findings from the first four years of Mistra Carbon Exit, distilled down into 29 key messages.
Read MoreWe are looking for 4 Master thesis students to conduct 4 separate, but related, MSc thesis projects aimed at assessing how the making of a zero carbon footprint car (i.e. with no tailpipe and zero embedded GHG emissions) can become a reality within a decade.
Read MoreUnder detta frukostwebbinarium, med fokus på kunskap och diskussion, får vi höra mer om de tekniska lösningar som finns för att nå nära nollutsläpp och de företagsallianser som bildas längs värdekedjan för utveckling och handel av klimatsmart teknik. Vi får också ta del av hur Skellefteå kommun tar sig an utmaningarna och vilken typ av politik och styrmedel som krävs för att boosta omställningen.
Read MoreSveriges konsumtionsbaserade utsläpp uppgår till 9 ton CO2e per person för 2019. I den här rapporten görs en analys av specifika tekniska åtgärder och beteendeförändringar när det gäller flyg, bil, kollektivtrafik, livsmedel, uppvärmning samt investeringar i byggnader och transportinfrastruktur.
Read MoreIn 2020 the program was, of course, affected by the covid‐19 pandemic, but the effect was rather minor. This the fourth year of the programme consisted m,ainly of completing research tasks and communicating programme results.
Read MoreDenna rapport identifierar möjligheter och barriärer, både tekniska och icke-tekniska, i byggprocessen av byggnader i Uppsala kommun. Målet har varit att rapporten ska ge lokala intressenter vetenskapligt baserade råd för att implementera lösningar för deras prioriterade åtgärdsområden.

Read MoreIf a ban were introduced on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars, and they were replaced by electric cars, the result would be a great reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. That is the finding of new research from Mistra Carbon Exit researchers with Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, looking at emissions from the entire life cycle – from manufacture of electric cars and batteries, to electricity used for operation.
Read MoreSome analysts have advocated strictly adhering to carbon prices and their effect on fuel prices to
motivate further emissions reductions. However, in Sweden as in many other countries, even with existing fuel prices, emissions have not fallen fast enough to meet Sweden’s ambitious climate goals.
In this policy brief we reflect over some of the pending proposals in the current Swedish policy discussion.
Read MoreAs PhD student you will join a team of senior researchers, postdocs and PhD students dedicated to research aimed at evaluating and proposing robust pathways towards sustainable energy and material systems.
Read MoreMistra Carbon Exit-veckan har startat men om du missade de första livesändningarna kan du nu se dem i efterhand.
Read MoreEnergiomställningen kan inte vänta. Därför bör svensk politik försöka nå fram till en samsyn på klimat- och energiomställningen som är framåtblickande och där möjligheterna med flexibel och smart elanvändning, nya marknader samt samhällelig genomförbarhet står i fokus. Det skriver bland andra Chalmers Filip Johnsson och IVL:s Magnus Hennlock från Mistra Carbon Exit på DN Debatt den 11 mars.
