The King to Norrbotten - makes a county trip
On Wednesday the king makes a visit to Norrbotten.
King Carl XVI Gustaf will visit Piteå and Luleå. The theme of the trip is "New high-tech initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions".
The visit starts at the Sunpine bio refinery in Piteå, the world leader in the production of renewable fuels. The tour then continues to the wind farm in Markbygden, which contributes to the production and development of renewable energy.
The last stop is made at Luleå University of Technology. The king will, among other things, receive a demonstration of the VR studio and the drone Hugin, which is used in both research and education. Hugin's tasks include mapping the Swedish bedrock to bring knowledge of how the rock and ores have been formed.

The King's clear mark - praises Victoria: "Understood"
Our monarch ducked the questions about the revolving family decision - instead he chose to highlight Crown Princess Victoria.
- She has understood that it is important for the future, says the king about Victoria's environmental commitment.
On Monday, King Carl Gustaf made a decisive decision. He then signed the document which excludes Princess Madeleine's and Prince Carl Philip's children from the royal house. The decision makes it clear that it is the King and Crown Princess Victoria, who, together with Queen Silvia and Prince Daniel are Sweden's leading representatives. When Princess Estelle reaches adulthood, she is also expected to represent the country.
On Wednesday, the king made his first trip after the decision published.
He visited Piteå and Luleå, under the theme "new high-tech initiatives for reducing greenhouse gas emissions".
The visit started at the company Sunpine in Piteå, which is a world leader in the production of second generation renewable fuels. Then the King visited Luleå University of Technology, to get a view of the VR studio and the drone Hugin.
The king chose not to answer any questions about the family decision. But both children and grandchildren still came up on the agenda when the king was asked how he engaged them in the environmental issue. The king then diverted attention from the grandchildren, to focus instead on Crown Princess Victoria.
- The grandchildren I don't think you need to raise because they are so small. It takes a few years for them to understand this, I promise. But the young people and the crown princess are very interested, he says.
The king says he has been working on the environmental issue for 30 years, highlighting the crown princess and her work.
- She has been here and looked at this facility as well. She also does this as much as possible, she understands that it is important for the future, he says.
