New policies in industry and the agricultural sector
A comprehensive analysis of decarbonization options for the agricultural sector and cement industry has already been completed in Ukraine. The next phases will involve researching the potential for emission reductions in metallurgy and waste management. Special emphasis is placed on the metallurgy and mining sectors in connection with the European Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), as Ukraine aims to join the European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS).
New opportunities for cooperation with Sweden
During negotiations in Stockholm, the Ukrainian delegation reached an agreement with Swedish partners to create a fund of pooled resources for joint energy and climate projects. It is planned that by 2026, the volume of insurance for such projects through the Swedish Export Credit Agency (EKN) will increase to €160 million. The state investment fund Swedfund is also considering expanding its investment portfolio in Ukraine.
