Electricity price area 2 (wherein Västerbotten belongs) produces 33 percent of the electricity in Sweden but only use 12 percent. However, sharing is problematic because of bottle necks in the power grid and much of the power is lost in transport. Adding on more wind power could help solve some of the issues with access to electricity in southern Sweden, but an unpopular method in the municipalities.

Bengt Kriström is interviewed in Västerbottenskuriren “Elen flödar från Norrland” November 1st, 2022 about the results from a report from Growth Analysis on electrification and Europeanisation.

A more global rather than local focus and treat forest and its products the same way as other sources of emission say Runar Brännlund, Bengt Kriström and Tommy Lundgren in a report from the Swedish Agency for Growth Policy Analysis. The premises of the report was to take a closer look at how the Swedish climate policy can be more cost-efficient.

The 28th edition of the Ulvön Environmental Economics Conference took place the days just before Midsummer at the beautiful island of Ulvön. 33 participants did a good job at keeping the scientific level and discussion at top level. Four keynotes was scheduled but Linda Nostbakken had to cancel due to illness. Adan Martinez Cruz and AJ Bostian stepped up and filled her spot with interesting talks. Richard Tol, Martin Quaas, and Anne-Sophie Crépin all did an excellent job presenting their current research. Presentations (mainly ph d's and post doc's) upheld an impressive quality and level. The scientific discussion and level was high and the parrot - who speaks when the economics is lacking in the presentation - didn't come out even once!

One of the highlights of the conference is the tasting of the fermented herring. We were all thrilled to hear the story about the surströmming and how it has been an integral part of the island's history. And the tasting was also an appreciated event. Many are surprised the rotten fish taste quite good with the right fixings!

We are now looking forward to the 29th edition of the conference!
