Cut emissions in half! Fossil-Free Sweden and Viable Cities are today joining forces to work together to ensure that public procurement drives demand for fossil-free and climate-neutral solutions in the construction and civil engineering sector. Even today, emissions from new construction can be cut in half.
Viable Cities has now published a new report that highlights how local energy systems can become a key building block in the climate-neutral cities of the future. The report, *EnergyNet and the Future of Local Energy Systems*, describes EnergyNet as a potential system architecture for a more robust, cost-effective, and flexible energy system.
Östersund Municipality is now very close to becoming a fossil fuel-free municipal organization. All passenger cars except one run on fossil-free fuel, heavy vehicles and work machines run on HVO, biogas or electricity, and all oil boilers have been replaced. You can read more about this in the status report.
