Financing Green Industrial Transitions

This research paper uses Sweden as a case study to investigate if financing acts as a significant barrier to radical emission reductions in energy-intensive industrial sectors.

• In the case of Sweden, the availability of financing or the scale of capital investments is not viewed as a major hurdle for radical emission reductions in industry. This is attributed to the companies being large, well-established corporates capable of using conventional corporate finance, favorable market demand conditions within the EU, and the fact that many firms are currently in early technology development stages where capital requirements are lower.
• Financial actors show a strong interest in sustainable investments, yet public actors are still considered necessary to accelerate the transition and mitigate investment risks.
