Start-up companies that are active within the energy sector are eligible to apply for commercial loans from the Swedish Energy Agency. These so-called “conditional loans” have been available since 2006 and aim to facilitate commercialisation of the businesses. An important goal is to help the companies to overcome the initial critical phase when investment costs tend to be high, while revenue tends to be low.

The companies that have received the loans represent different lines of business and have reached different stages of development and growth. The common denominator is that their innovations help to reduce energy consumption and/or to find new ways of producing renewable energy.

No maximum or minimum amount of a loan is stated . However, the total annual budget of the Swedish Energy Agency is approx. SEK 90 million.

Forget Critical Metals, Electricity is The Real Bottleneck for AI

The U.S. dollar is cracking—and the market knows it. After years of monetary excess, swelling deficits, and policy uncertainty, the world’s reserve currency is losing its grip as a store of value. Capital is fleeing paper promises and piling into hard assets at a pace not seen in decades. Nowhere is this more visible than in precious metals: Gold has surged to above $4,100 per ounce, silver has ripped past $70, and palladium—once written off—has clawed its way back to $1,350. Add an unstable geopolitical backdrop stretching…

Europe Has Entered The Nuclear Golden Age Amid AI Boom

Nuclear power is experiencing a massive revival across Europe, with the regulatory environment shifting decisively in its favor thanks to surging electricity demand from the AI and data center boom, climate goals, volatile global energy markets and the urgent need for structural energy independence. It’s a big wishlist, and nuclear may be the fastest way to realize it. Massive power demand by the tech giants and hyperscalers is exceeding traditional grid capacities in Europe and the United States. AI data centers require huge amounts of baseload…

First Oil Sands Project in 10 Years Starts Production

The first new oil sands project in Alberta since 2014 has started commercial production, aiming for a daily average of 80,000 barrels once it ramps up. The Blackrod project, led by International Petroleum Corp., moved to the first phase of production despite the peak oil demand narrative that has dominated the past decade, especially in Canada. Canadian oil sands have been in the focus of transition attention as especially energy-intensive, meaning emission-intensive, and as a high-cost way of extracting crude oil from the ground. Under activist…

Court Ruling Deals Major Blow to Trump's War on Wind Power

Donald Trump has been battling wind turbines in the court of public opinion and in actual court for over a decade now. Trump has railed about “windmills” repeatedly over the course of his presidential term and campaign trails, calling the technology “so pathetic and so bad” before proudly declaring that no wind power will be approved on his watch. “I can proudly say [...] that we have not approved one windmill since I’ve been in office. And we’re going to keep it that way. My goal is to not let any windmill…
