Cross-border cooperation behind green energy

How can we transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy? By cooperating across national borders - solar, wind and hydroelectric power can supply the whole of Europe with green electricity, according to a study by KTH Royal Institute of Technology. But it requires effective international relations.

”We show that it is possible to get rid of carbon dioxide emissions by switching to a renewable energy system,” says Anders Wörman, professor and research leader.
