Anora is investing in a new, state-of-the-art biomass-boiler at its Koskenkorva Distillery in Finland.
The new boiler will replace the existing fossil fuel boiler, which is nearing the end of its useful life. The new biomass boiler will operate using 100% renewable fuels, ensuring a cleaner and more efficient energy supply. This investment is expected to be operational by 2026, reducing Anora's carbon emissions significantly and helping the distillery meet its carbon neutrality target.
Hänni Vähämurto, SVP of Anora's Industrial segment, emphasized, "This investment demonstrates our strong commitment to reducing our fossil emissions. The Koskenkorva Distillery is already a leader in sustainability with its circular economy approach. Thanks to our decade-long efforts, we've already reduced our fossil CO2 emissions. This new boiler is the final step in achieving carbon neutrality, setting a new industry standard."
Anora's broader sustainability goals include achieving carbon neutrality across all its operations by 2030, without any compensations. The company is also a role model in the industry, striving for ambitious targets such as sustainable packaging and reducing transport emissions. Recently, Anora received approval for its emission reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative, further solidifying its commitment to sustainable development.
This investment not only enhances environmental sustainability but also showcases Anora's dedication to innovation and leadership in the industry. The move towards renewable energy and improved operational efficiency is a clear step towards a greener future.
