Introducing the Lindell family from Hässelby – test pilots on our journey towards a climate- smart future. In the unique “One Tonne Life” project, dad Nils, mum Alicja and teenagers Hannah, 16, and Jonathan, 13, will try to live within the limits of one tonne of carbon dioxide emissions per person per year. The project has been initiated by A-hus, Vattenfall and Volvo Cars. ICA and Siemens are the project’s specialist industry partners.

With the “One Tonne Life” project, A-hus, Vattenfall and Volvo Cars aim to demonstrate what it means in practice for a family to adopt a climate-smart lifestyle. The technology and the solutions that the Lindell family use to live the “One Tonne Life” are already available or will become available in the very near future.

ICA and Siemens are now joining ‘One Tonne Life’ as industry partners – a world-unique test in which a family with children will try to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions to one tonne per person per year.

In order to stop climate change, our emissions of greenhouse gases must be dramatically decreased – from currently around seven tonnes per person and year to one tonne in the future.

Today sees the launch of a world-first – a unique test in which a couple with young children will try to achieve the one-tonne emission level yet at the same time live a regular life.

The “One Tonne Life” project has been initiated by three Swedish companies: A-hus, Vattenfall and Volvo Cars.

Climate-smart wooden house, electric car and advanced energy solutions.
