🌍 Today we are launching the Fossil Detox Report, outlining the current state of the climate transition and the necessary steps to meet net-zero targets and mitigate climate impacts. The shift from fossil fuels and fossil-based materials to renewable and low-carbon alternatives represents one of the most significant challenges of current times. The report highlights the urgent need for action and for a comprehensive approach to mitigate climate change and to secure a reliable supply of clean energy. The climate transition demands strong political will, public engagement and visionary leadership. In the report, we provide guidance for governments and industry stakeholders on how to close the implementation gap and scale up the solutions we know exists. "Ultimately, transitioning away from fossil fuels and fossil-based materials is not just a technical or economic challenge - it is a societal imperative," says Jonas Gustavsson, President and CEO of AFRY. At AFRY, we believe that it is possible to transition towards a low-carbon economy while also promoting economic growth by implementing innovative technologies and forward-thinking policies.

AFRY's Fossil Detox Report explores the path towards a sustainable future by transitioning away from fossil fuels and mitigating the effects of climate change. The report has identified critical areas for the transition and the enablers that support its acceleration. Built on the conviction that the private sector remains a pivotal force in the sustainability transition, the report underscores that those companies at the forefront need robust policy frameworks and access to capital to expedite their journey towards a fossil-free future. ➡️ On that background, we would like to highlight the following three enablers for a fossil detox.

Listen to the Sound of AFRY Consistency in design elements such as colors, fonts, and imagery helps create a cohesive visual identity that people can easily recognize and associate with the brand. Similarly, consistent sound elements such as themes, music, sound effects, and a sound logo contribute to brand recognition and recall. That’s why we recently upgraded the brand experience with a new sound. ”All sounds connected to AFRY are brand carriers and our sound profile will help to maintain consistency across all AFRY’s audio touchpoints. That will make AFRY easier to recognise for our clients and also help our colleagues to choose music more strategically” says Martin Hallberg Creative Director Efterklang I Part of AFRY AFRY engineers the Sound of AFRY with the expertise of Efterklang If you like the beating heart of AFRY, join us in Making Future! #makingfuture #efterklang #engineeredbyafry

🌲 AFRY has explored the importance of forests and active sustainable forestry in addressing climate change and contributing to reaching net zero targets by 2050. Drawing on insights from a recent report commissioned by FAM AB, the "substitution effect" of replacing fossil-based materials and products with fibre-based alternatives has the potential to greatly improve climate benefits in the EU. 1️⃣ Fibre-based raw materials can replace fossil-fuel alternatives and significantly reduce emissions. This involves utilising the substitution potential of wood products, paper, board, textile fibres, biofuels and biochemicals to achieve an emission reduction of up to 561 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent by 2050. 2️⃣ Active and sustainable forest management plays an integral role in gaining various economic, climate and social benefits. For example, this approach enhances decarbonisation through improved carbon sinks, and measures can be taken to protect biodiversity by preserving species and their natural habitats in commercial forests. 3️⃣ Utilising forestry residues for bioenergy presents a sustainable energy solution, preventing the release of CO2 into the atmosphere as these materials decompose. This approach can help decrease fossil fuel demand across Europe and reduce climate impacts, especially when combined with carbon capture and storage technologies. 4️⃣ Furthermore, forest-based innovation continues to broaden the range of applications for forest resources and contribute to long-term climate benefits and circularity. For comprehensive insights into the benefits provided by the substitution effect, refer to the full report and reach out to Saara Söderberg, Sami Pastila, Salla-Mari Järvinen and Tiina Pajula. #makingfuture #bioindustry #sustainability #decarbonisation #forestry

Towards a fossil-free future! 🌍 As we strive towards a new era, the imperative to transition from fossil fuels to fossil-free sources has never been more pressing. The ongoing global climate crisis, highlighted by extreme weather events and rising sea levels, demands immediate and concerted action. In The Fossil Detox Report, we are outlining strategies and key enablers for transitioning from fossil fuels. Swipe to read some words on the report from Jonas Gustavsson, CEO at AFRY.

We are thrilled to announce that AFRY has been awarded the main engineering partner contract for SSAB’s groundbreaking fossil-free steel mini-mill project in Luleå, Sweden! SSAB is undertaking a major project to transform to fossil-free steel production. SSAB is planning to replace the current blast furnace production route with a new, state-of-the-art mini-mill concept that utilises electric arc furnaces (EAFs). AFRY’s assignment is linked to the melting and hot rolling complex, and it includes the full multi-disciplinary basic and detail engineering. "We are proud to continue our strong partnership with SSAB on this important green transformation project aimed at decarbonising steel production. The unique combination of AFRY’s local and global expertise as well as our deep knowledge of SSAB’s projects will ensure a high-quality and efficient project delivery from AFRY," says Nicholas Oksanen, EVP and Head of Process Industries at AFRY. https://lnkd.in/dgvGWD3S

🌿⚡ Bioenergy can support the transition to more sustainable energy systems at the whole EU level, as flexibility in energy production is needed. Forestry residues, such as branches, bark and sawdust, release the same amount of CO2 during decomposition and energy use. Without other material use applications, using them as feedstock in energy production enhances the flexibility of the European energy system with the added benefit of substituting fossil fuels in heat generation. In addition, carbon capture and storage technologies can further mitigate emissions associated with bioenergy production. Currently, the Nordic energy model effectively incorporates biomass residues in combined heat and power production. This approach not only optimises energy usage but also frees up hydropower capacity for export to Continental Europe and reduces the overall EU fossil fuel demand in energy production. Integrating bioenergy with carbon capture and storage offers a promising solution for increasing flexibility in sustainable energy production across the EU. We invite you to explore our analysis of various energy sources and flexibility solutions in the full report: https://lnkd.in/d8h5BDuj #makingfuture #bioindustry #sustainability #energytransition #decarbonisation

Much of the needed technology to decarbonise our industry and energy systems is already available today, but the question remains: how do we close the implementation gap? Phasing out fossil fuels and combating climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. But most of the technology and know-how needed is already in place to transform both the energy system and our industrial processes. Now it’s about time to scale up available technology to ensure a just transition for all. “Ultimately, transitioning away from fossil fuels and fossil-based materials is not just a technical or economic challenge – it is a societal imperative,” says Jonas Gustavsson, President and CEO of AFRY. Our latest publication, The Fossil Detox Report, delves into the urgent need to transition away from fossil fuels and explores crucial areas we have identified for making this happen. We have also identified nine measures within policy, finance, and innovation, that we believe will accelerate the transition in these areas. Curious about the how?
