Energy
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

progressing in the coming years, especially on the newly
acquired sites and in regards to share of renewable
energy.
