The central reason is the changed reduction obligation, which led to the amount of blended biofuel being halved last year.
Sweden's national goal is to reduce emissions from transportation by at least 70 percent by 2030 compared to emissions in 2010. It is a goal out of sight, according to the Swedish Transport Administration's environmental director Sven Hunhammar.
"We assess that the national intermediate target will not be achieved. The increase last year means that emissions now preliminarily lie 24 percent lower than the comparison year 2010", he says in a press release from the Swedish Transport Administration.
The reduction obligation specifies how much biofuel should be blended into petrol and diesel.
