🌎 In the pursuit of decarbonization, tracking and calculating emissions are essential first steps. At Climate Week NYC, Alfa Laval collaborated across the food system value chain to tackle the lack of emissions data in the industry by focusing on tangible actions. 🌱 “Lack of data is a major issue when it comes to understanding sustainability at a granular level,” shared Anantha Peramuna, PhD, CEO and founder of Nature Preserve, a start-up dedicated to simplifying the decarbonization journey for food distribution and processing industries - and part of Alfa Laval’s Innovation House in Copenhagen. 📊 Together with Anantha and Nature Preserve, Alfa Laval’s Chief Sustainability Officer Anna Celsing Klingbergparticipated in a round table discussion at Climate Week NYC, dedicated to driving the sustainability agenda in data.

It’s Climate Week NYC and Alfa Laval is there for the second year in a row, along with business leaders, political figures, community activists, and citizens from around the globe to highlight climate actions worldwide that are contributing to the transition toward a sustainable future. 🌎 🌱 Financing is a huge topic as financial institutions claim there is money, but industry often faces a lack in funding when it’s time to make final decisions to invest. This is one of the major roadblocks to why the energy transition is not happening as fast as it needs to. 💡🔋 On top of it all, actions are needed to tackle many of the current challenges we are facing globally, such as driving energy efficiency, nourishing a growing population, rethinking water usage and shifting to fossil-free fuels to drive decarbonization. 💧🌱 Our presence here at Climate Week NYC gives us a chance to be a part of the solution. We can share best practices, show what’s possible and challenge policy makers, politicians and other companies to act now. Anna Celsing Klingberg, Chief Sustainability Officer, Alfa Laval is attending Climate Week NYC, hear some reflections from her first day of climate activities here. #AlfaLaval #PioneeringPositiveImpact #ClimateWeekNYC #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #Decarbonization #Innovation

⏱️🤖 How Alfa Laval saved 2,600 hours for employees using AI Can workflow automation reduce inefficient processes and increase productivity and quality? That question was raised by employees in Alfa Laval distribution centres, and Thamon Benjapongsapun, Project Manager Digital, Alfa Laval, undertook the project to identify whether AI could be utilized to automize a number of processes in the customer service system. 📨 In 2023, Alfa Laval customer service teams in the distribution centres received some 203,000 tickets in the customer service system. The tickets covered a wide range of topics – including order status, quote requests, export control, shipping instructions and certificate requests. 📋 Around 2,600 hours were spent on reading tickets and assigning them to the correct sub teams. Since early 2024, an Alfa Laval pilot team located in Denmark has received AI workflow support with this task. When a ticket is received, AI summarizes the content of the ticket, categorizes it and sends the ticket to the relevant sub team. After a successful pilot, the solution is now being implemented across distribution centres. 🌍 “Employees focus on more value-added activities instead, since they don’t have to assign tickets manually. Tickets are therefore answered faster, which gives a better customer experience, and we’ve noticed that team spirit has really improved. The implementation of AI has also boosted the digital mindset of our colleagues,” explains Thamon Benjapongsapun. #AlfaLaval #PioneeringPositiveImpact #AI #Innovation #Teamwork #DigitalTransformation #ArtificialIntelligence #WomenInTech

In 2021, 47 percent of the world’s total sunflower oil production came from Ukraine. It was vital to the country’s economy and agriculture before Russia’s invasion. To try to rebuild that business, Alfa Laval will deliver a new sunflower oil processing line to the Ukrainian company LLC Orilskyi Obyednanyi Elevator, with support from the Ukraine Rebuilding Scheme by the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark, EIFO. “The new sunflower oil processing line from Alfa Laval demonstrates a big leap forward, although small in the bigger scheme of things," says Lars Dithmer, President Business Unit Food Systems, Alfa Laval. “It will bring far-reaching benefits as the oil can be distributed not only to the domestic market but also through exports which will generate additional income for the country.” In addition, Alfa Laval is broadening its wastewater treatment activities across Ukraine, and discussions with EIFO are underway to see how Alfa Laval can best advance future contributions.

Road travel, flights, and marine shipping account for nearly a quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, according to the International Energy Agency. Biofuels and low-carbon fuels offer a necessary solution to keeping transportation effective while reducing emissions in line with net zero ambitions. 🌍🌱 Several biofuel alternatives are already available, including fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO). We know that biofuels are crucial in decarbonizing our societies, as they provide a low-carbon solution that can be used in existing technologies. Shipping accounts for almost 3 percent of global carbon emissions, so helping this industry move towards biofuels will have a significant impact. With only slight, if any, modifications of the existing equipment needed, the shift can start today. At Alfa Laval, we recognize that reshaping vital industries will have a major effect on progress, today and tomorrow. This is just one way we fast-track the transition. 🚀 To learn more about biofuels ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eu8aDKF2 #AlfaLaval #PioneeringPositiveImpact #Sustainability #Biofuels

Introducing a sustainable future for beer enthusiasts🍺🌍 The beer industry is on the cusp of a sustainable transformation with the advent of beer concentrate. This innovative approach to brewing is not only preserving the authentic taste and quality of draft beer but also revolutionizing its environmental footprint. 🌱 The Alfa Laval Revos Concentration System is at the forefront of this change, using a unique high-pressure, low-temperature process to create a concentrate that mirrors the original beer's flavour and alcohol content perfectly. This method is a significant change, significantly cutting down on emissions, water use, and energy expenses. 💧⚡ Moreover, the shift to beer concentrate addresses a long-standing inefficiency in the beer supply chain: the transportation of heavy kegs and bulky containers. The concentrated form is six times more transport-efficient, offering a smarter and more sustainable solution for distribution. 🚛 📦 The debut of beer concentrate marks a significant leap towards sustainability, slashing expenses linked to packaging, storage, shipping, and cooling. 📉 This innovation presents a dual advantage for our community. It fosters a greener approach to our drink supply while guaranteeing that connoisseurs can savour their preferred beers to the fullest. Here's to advancing towards a greener horizon in beer crafting and circulation! 🌿 Read the full report ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dTuMEdDu #AlfaLaval #Sustainbility #PioneeringPositiveImpact #BeerConcentrate
