According to International Energy Agency (IEA)'s new region technology study, around 3000 offshore windturbines will need to be in use to make Nordic region carbon-neutral by 2050.

The report, named "Energy Technology Perspective" stated that big changes in the region's energy sector will need to take place. These changes include in wind generation and an end to all use of coal and significant electrification of transport.

The new report also expands on the Energy Technology Perspectives 2012 global scenarios for energy policies that would limit average global temperature increase to 2?. Nordic Energy Technology Perspectives outlines the opportunities and challenges for the Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland - a major fossil fuel exporter and Sweden to use their rich renewable energy resources transform their landscape and economy.

In order to achieve carbon-neutral, emissions from transportation must decrease by nearly 90% from current levels, with nine in ten new light vehicles in 2050 being pure electric or hybrid and most freight transport going by rail or running on biofuels. The transportation sector will be the hardest to decarbonize due to the sparse population of the trade-intensive Nordic countries, but transportation costs should not rise significantly as reduced demand and higher efficiency will lower fuel bills.

Hopefully, Nordic governments will consider these methods to make the region become carbon-neutral as soon as possible
