Investing in FemTech isn’t just ethical; it’s a business game-changer. And here's why: Despite women making up half of the global population, there's a significant knowledge gap and a unique investment opportunity in women's health. At Frihamnsdagarna in Gothenburg last week, AFRY's FemTech expert Siri Bergnéhr joined a panel discussion brought together by GoCo Health Innovation City to spotlight some of the key insights of this field: ❤️🩹 Driving Social Impact: Focusing on women’s health enhances overall social well-being. 📈 Profit Potential: Femtech is tapping into a massive, underserved market with substantial long-term returns. 👏 Leadership Matters: Driving change requires celebrating success stories and fostering open dialogue. "AFRY has tremendous capacity, and we are showing the way and establishing ourselves as leading players in making a truly inclusive future. It’s time to start designing women in!" says Siri Bergnéhr, UX designer and FemTech Network co-founder at AFRY.

⚖️ Increasing the substitution of fossil-based raw materials with fibre can offset the annual climate impact of millions of EU citizens. Forests, the forestry sector, and active and sustainable forest management contribute to climate change mitigation in multiple ways: 🌱 Growing forests absorb carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the soil and biomass 🪑 Wood products store carbon in them throughout their life cycles 🔄 Wood products and bioenergy can substitute fossil-based materials, reducing emissions In our report on the substitution potential and climate impact in the EU forest value chain, we analysed the EU fossil-to-fibre material substitution potential by 2050. Our focus was on sectors where clear substitution opportunities exist. The findings show that the greatest potential for substitution is in: 🏡 Wood products: new wooden buildings 📦 Paper and board: packaging boards and papers 🧵 Textiles: cellulosic textile fibres 🌿 Biofuels and biochemicals: pulp mill side streams, biomass-based biorefineries and e-fuels In the 2021 baseline scenario, if all fibre-based materials were utilised in fossil-based material substitution, we would see a reduction of 390 Mt CO2eq in emissions. To put this into perspective, this amount is similar to the annual emissions produced by 50,000,000 EU citizens in the same year. 💭 What are the key drivers and inhibitors for further substitution? 💭 What do our three EU substitution potential scenarios for 2050 indicate? 👉 Find the answers in our full report: https://lnkd.in/dnCxDPPf #makingfuture #bioindustry #sustainability #climate #forestry

AFRY contributes to the modernisation of Fortum's Untra hydropower plant in Sweden. Fortum is modernising the more than 100-year-old Untra hydropower plant in the municipality of Tierp and replacing three out of five generators. The output will be increased from 42 to 48 MW and the expected production will increase from 270 to 300 GWh per year. AFRY assists with electricity and control expertise in the assignment, which aims to secure another 100 years of fossil-free electricity production. "We are very proud to contribute our expertise in electricity and control equipment to the project. This type of large-scale power increase of existing power plants is important to increase electricity production in Sweden and not least for residents and industries in the area," says Miriam Mesquine, BU Manager Hydro Sweden, AFRY.

🌲 Forests' substitution potential, sustainable forestry and fibre-based products can drive cross-industrial decarbonisation and accelerate the pathway to net zero. FAM AB commissioned AFRY Management Consulting to explore the "substitution effect" in a recently published report, "Substitution potential and climate impact in the EU forest value chain". The substitution effect demonstrates how wood fibre-based products can effectively replace fossil-based alternatives, leading to a substantial reduction in emissions. Recognising the substitution effect is essential for meeting EU emission reduction targets. However, to fully acknowledge the climate benefits of forests, EU policies should recognise the substitution benefit accordingly. While the current focus is on carbon sinks, forests and wood-based products have untapped potential as sustainable alternatives. Our analysis also emphasises the importance of actively managed forests in carbon sequestration and the role of bioenergy in sustainable energy transitions across the EU. Report key insights: ✅ Forest products currently provide a climate benefit equivalent to the emissions of 50 million EU citizens. ✅ Leveraging forests' substitution potential is necessary to effectively address climate challenges. ✅ By 2050, the substitution effect could offset up to 561 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent, substantially reducing EU emissions. ✅ Active and sustainable forest management enhances forest growth, increasing carbon sinks that mitigate climate change. Tailored approaches are necessary to fully realise these benefits within the EU. Adopting new perspectives, committing to sustainable forest management and leveraging forests' substitution potential is essential for addressing the climate crisis. This approach supports the EU's climate goals through active, sustainable and effective forest management and the integration of bioenergy into the energy system.
