*4.2. Sweden*

The Swedish national climate target goal aims for LCC by 2045. The industry is working on strategies to reach these goals and thereby attain a lower climate impact. Now, some LCC are currently available, but generally, there is a lack of LCC on the Swedish market.

A very good overview of Swedish progress is given in a master's thesis by Strombom (2021) on a survey of climate-improved concrete [9]. The purpose of the work is to investigate how the concrete industry works towards climate neutrality and to see how far the actors have come in that work. The survey and review of the EPDs showed that some LCC already exists today, but that it is not used to such a large extent. Just over half of the concrete producers do not have any LCC on the market now, but most are working on developing it, and most expect to have it on the market within one to three years. Most concrete producers are confident that all of their concrete will be climate neutral by 2045. Because the Swedish classification system is quite extensive, the only category into which we classified our test series is shown in Table 6.
