Sweden shows us how to slow our flagrant use of fossil fuels


Andrew Lang - he understands bio-energy.
Our flagrant use of energy, primarily energy source from fossil fuels, is the root cause of climate change.

Renewable energy is the urgently needed source we need to explore, and more importantly engage, and the fellow who has a deep understanding of these “new” energy sources is Victoria’s Andrew Lang.

Andrew, a Churchill and Gottstein Fellow and who has studied energy efficiency programs and renewable energy implementation and technologies in the Nordic countries, North America, China, India and Central Europe.

He was the guest today on Radio National’s Ockham’s Razor.

A farmer from western Victoria, Andrew has represented the Australasia-Oceania region on the board of the World Bioenergy Association since 2008, regularly presenting at overseas conferences on bioenergy development in Australia and its potential.

Today he talks about Sweden's advancement in renewable energy.

He explains that some Swedish cities have a target of zero use of fossil fuels by 2030 for electricity, heating or transport.
