Scandinavia, a model of energy transition?

In order to see whether the Scandinavian energy transition is actually a model, the author examines the present energy situation of five Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) in terms of their relationships with their own resources and in terms of importance of the intervention of actors in current evolutions. While providing data tables for an easier comparison between these countries, France and the EU as a whole, she describes the energy situation of these countries and its recent evolution: general aspects, fossil resources, evolution of oil and gas reserves and production since 1980, situation regarding coals. She describes the situation of renewable resources: biomass and wastes, hydraulic energy, wind energy, geothermal energy. Then, she discusses the role of actors: various positions with respect to nuclear energy, increasing ecological ambitions, some specific aspects of the different countries. She concludes by outlining that there are not one but several energy transition models
