Fortum Held Webinar on Nordic Decarbonisation Efforts

Energy company Fortum hosted a webinar on September 17, 2020, focusing on the decarbonisation of the Nordic countries.

The event featured a presentation of key findings from a study conducted by Copenhagen Economics. The report indicated that the ambitious climate targets set by Nordic countries will not be met with current measures, emphasizing the need for rapid decisions on reducing emissions across various sectors.

The webinar explored the most cost-efficient methods for decarbonisation and the necessary policy roadmaps to support this development. Helge Sigurd Næss-Schmidt from Copenhagen Economics presented the study’s results, followed by commentary from experts representing Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.

Following the event, Fortum made the webinar recording and presentation materials available online. The company also provided a download link for the full study by Copenhagen Economics, which delves into solutions for achieving decarbonisation in the Nordic region.

The report and webinar were part of Fortum's broader Energy Review series, aimed at fostering discussion about the future of the energy sector and sustainable development.
