Energy

Our energy consumption consists of the usage of gas for heat and steam generation, and the use of purchased electricity and steam. We also produce electricity using solar panels at our Alicante site in Spain. 

In our Sustainability Agenda 2020–2025, our energy target is 20% reduction in energy consumption per ton of product by 2025, the baseline being 2019. In 2024, Suominen did not make progress in its energy reduction target. To meet our energy efficiency improvement targets, we continue to identify and implement energy saving initiatives at our sites. In 2024, the share of fossil-free energy was 22%. Alternative fossil-free energy sources and improving energy efficiency are an important part of reducing our GHG emissions and achieving our GHG target.
