Renewable District Heating
Production facilities supplied by district heating and heat pump solutions support a significant increase in renewable energy use and lower energy related emissions.
Key Facts:
- Share of renewable energy increased from 27 percent in 2022 to 70 percent in 2024
- Energy supply based on district heating and heat pumps
- Impacts Scope 2 emissions
Energy Supply and Emissions
Energy supply is a key contributor to operational greenhouse gas emissions. Production facilities are connected to district heating systems and heat pump solutions, where the share of renewable energy has increased significantly over recent years.
Between 2022 and 2024, the share of renewable energy used across operations increased from 27 percent to 70 percent. This change has reduced emissions related to purchased energy and improved the environmental performance of manufacturing activities.
Infrastructure and External Dependencies
The transition toward renewable energy depends partly on external infrastructure and energy providers. District heating supply and renewable energy availability are therefore important external factors influencing continued progress.
Despite these dependencies, the increased share of renewable energy represents a measurable improvement in operational emissions and supports long term climate ambitions.
Impact on Energy Related Emissions
Lower emissions related to purchased energy reduce the embedded environmental impact of delivered equipment. This supports customer sustainability reporting and aligns with increasing expectations for low carbon supply chains in the process industry.
