Today, Lesj\u00f6fors Fj\u00e4drar uses propane gas as the energy source, which is a fossil-based fuel. The plant is one of the Lesj\u00f6fors Group\u2019s top consumers of gas. The biogas system estimates to reduce the company\u2019s carbon dioxide emissions by 70-90 percent (1,600-2,000 tonnes) on an annual basis, calculated \u201cwell to wheel\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biogas originates from a biological source instead of a fossil. The biogas that Lesj\u00f6fors will start using on April 1 is extracted exclusively from bio-based residual products or bio-based waste. The raw material for biogas production comes from a number of different residual raw materials, such as slaughter waste, used frying oil and food industry waste such as sugar beet shells. This means that the CO2 <\/sub>emission reduction is always at least 70 percent (transportation included) from the producer to the customer\u2019s LPG tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jan Carlson<\/strong>, MD of Lesj\u00f6fors Fj\u00e4drar comments on the transition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe transition to biogas will be simple and smooth. No new investments or adaptations are required as the biogas has the same energy value and properties as the propane gas. Biogas is entitled to a governmental refund of energy and carbon dioxide tax, so the price difference will not be excessive in the end.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The biogas project is an important contribution to achieving the set climate goals for the Beijer Alma Group. One of the group\u2019s four focus areas is about reducing climate impact through reduced emissions of CO2<\/sub> equivalents from energy use and other areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ola Tengroth<\/strong>, CEO of the Lesj\u00f6fors Group comments on the biogas project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe biogas plant is one of many sustainability projects in the group where we really show our commitment to the green transition. We are following the project with great interest and will systematically evaluate the biogas project towards our goals, and if all goes well, there is a high probability that more companies in our group are to follow.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information, please contact<\/strong> On April 1, the subsidiary Lesj\u00f6fors Fj\u00e4drar in Mid-Sweden will shift to biogas, which is a fossil-free energy source. The green transition will reduce the company\u2019s carbon dioxide emissions by 70-90 per cent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":41300,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"\nIn line with the group’s sustainability goals <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
