Sustainability report 2019

AAK’s production sites had a total energy consumption within the organization of 6,061,982 GJ in 2019. The sites had a total primary energy consumption of 4,938,906 GJ and a total indirect energy consumption of 1,228,511 GJ, representing a 1.5 percent decrease and a 6.2 percent increase, respectively. The total energy consumption per processed unit decreased with 7.6 percent in 2019. The fuel consumption consists mainly of natural gas, fuel and biomass. The use of natural gas decreased by 7 percent, the use of fuel by 9 percent while the use of biomass increased by 22 percent. The indirect energy use consists mainly of purchased electricity and steam for production use. The renewable electricity decreased by 57 percent and AAK ended up on a renewable electricity share of 12 percent. Overall, the total energy consumption from renewable sources constitute of 22 percent of the total AAK energy consumption which unfortunately is a step backwards from 24 percent in 2018. AAK is working on improvements that eventually will OHDG WR KLJKHU HQHUJ\ HI¿FLHQF\ DQG ZH H[SHFW WR NHHS progressing in the coming years, especially on the newly acquired sites and in regards to share of renewable energy.
