The diagram, Life cycle emissions of greenhouse gases from Swedish passenger cars (IMAGE)
Caption
Exhaust emissions are emissions within Sweden's borders, which need to reach zero by 2045 to fully contribute to Sweden's climate policy goals. Emissions from the production of cars and fuels encompass the manufacture of cars and batteries as well as fuel production, including the production of electricity for electric cars. The striped fields show the possibilities for emission reductions in the manufacture of batteries, vehicles and fuels. The diagram assumes a Swedish ban on new sales of petrol and diesel cars in 2030, as well as an increasing usage of biofuels in accordance with the revised Swedish "reduction obligation" until 2030.
