The scheme is part of the Swedish strategy on climate change and would help Sweden achieve its 2030 EU renewable target, as well as its national target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from domestic transports with at least 70 percent by 2030 compared to 2010. The tax exemptions will ensure a high demand for biofuels, which will also promote the required investments for adapting the vehicles and the infrastructure for the transition towards fossil free transport. To support the above objective, the scheme allows sustainable high-blended and pure biofuels to benefit from a full exemption from the energy and CO2 taxes applicable in Sweden. This exemption is not available for low-blended biofuels and unsustainable biofuels.
