In addition, Aspo will discontinue the distribution of fossil fuels for energy production, including energy coal, by 2030 at the latest.   

"We want to be pioneers in climate work in our industries and support our customers in making sustainable choices. Lately, we have invested heavily in new, energy-efficient vessels, which significantly reduce our carbon footprint and promote the green transition of industry in the Nordics. We also require our own suppliers to actively commit to emission reduction targets," says , Senior Vice President, Legal and Sustainability, Aspo.

Aspo is committed to:

* The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.
