Successful solutions
are working for us
The collaboration between public organisations, industry, companies and research institutions is a remarkable advantage of West Swedish environmental technology, one that has resulted in many solutions for sustainable development. Environmental technology companies in West Sweden have years of experience and several successful solutions behind them, and more are always on the way.
Water purifications technologies
Globally, clean drinking water is our most important commodity and the lynchpin of all types of development. West Sweden holds a wealth of experience in all aspects of water, mainly because it is in abundant supply. Our long coastline guarantees a large number of businesses with marine specialities, and far-sighted drinking water plans have resulted in significant expertise in water treatment.
Bio-energy and energy-saving technology
Sweden is a leading country in the development of bio-energy technology and West Sweden is the centre. Here you will find companies and experts that possess knowledge and technology, such as solar energy, biofuels, district heating or cooling, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases.
Waste management and recycling
Thanks to intense research and development, waste is increasingly being regarded as a resource. In West Sweden, incineration of household waste generates electricity and district heating, while organic waste is composted or digested, producing biogas. Both household and industrial waste is sorted and recycled, and then used in the manufacturing of new
products.
Transportation, logistics and clean vehicles
In West Sweden , public authorities and companies are collaborating to develop ecologically and economically sustainable transport systems. In the region there are several key players producing clean vehicles as well as low-emission transport solutions for residents and goods deliveries.
