The Sustainable Energy Action Plan of the city of Växjö, Sweden - approved in 2008 - foresees a reduction of 65% of CO2 per capita emissions in 2020 compared to 1993. The strategic vision of the city is to become fossil-fuel-free by 2030.
Energy efficiency enhancements have been promoted both in the residential and in the tertiary sector (in shops), also by mean of some soft measures (campaigns), dealing with behavioural aspects and with the general climate issue. CO2 per capita emissions from the building, equipment/facilities and industry sector are expected to be reduced by 90%.
As regards the transport sector, a reduction of 23% of per capita emissions is expected. The strategic measures identified are: a) a full mobility multi-modal plan coping with the freight transport to the city centre and further developing cycle paths; b) the construction of a biogas plant that will produce biogas to be used in public transport and private cars.
