THE EDIT is your monthly briefing on the journey to fossil freedom. In the July issue: 🦇 Ocean-venturing bats   Our research using ultrasound detectors aims to protect bats from colliding with offshore wind farms.    🩰 Do a little dance – for fish’s sake  We’re testing new technology to help fish find their way past hydro power plants.    🌳 From carbon leak to carbon sink  Boosting biodiversity by turning 1,500 hectares of peatland from carbon leak to carbon sink.    Subscribe now on our LinkedIn page!     #sustainability #energy #fossilfree #netzero #climate #biodiversity #carboncapture #offshore #bats #fish #wildlife #breakfree #newsletter #theedit

Vattenfall and CemVision in new cooperation to supply near-zero emission cement. The new cement has the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 95 percent compared to traditional cement. #Vattenfall #fossilfreedom #cement #sustainability

Bats don’t all hang around in caves – they also cross oceans. New studies using ultrasound detectors on buoys and turbines provide valuable insights into how we can adapt offshore wind turbines to protect them. We’re also launching a new project to keep fish away from hydropower plants – with a little help from dancing foam rods.   A special thanks to Jowan Rostami, founder of Cellufy AB.

Lars and Signe, two Vattenfall employees from different generations. When they meet, much of the conversation revolves around our culture, the importance of daring to try new things and the work for fossil freedom.  Join the conversation at https://lnkd.in/dbwTsfU9 #Vattenfall #businessculture #fossilfreedom

We have moved out of Vattenfall Diversity Month and into Pride Season. We wish our LGBTQ+ employees, partners, suppliers and all of you a happy #pride2024. Our Diversity Month was an opportunity to shed some light on the different dimensions of diversity, for example gender and sexual orientation, ethnicity and worldview or age. Max Appenroth came to us to unpack the complexity of gender and sexual orientation. Claire Karlsson brought the topic of the modern family and work to life. Åsa Jamal says: “Vattenfall Diversity Month in May was an opportunity to broaden our awareness and learn more about all dimensions of diversity. Learning begins with listening. In Vattenfall’s yearly employee survey, our index for Diversity and Inclusion rose to a staggering 88 per cent favourable in 2023. This means that our people acknowledge that we walk the talk, that they enjoy our corporate culture and trust our ambition to drive Diversity & Inclusion. And we are not stopping here, but rather accelerating to be a truly inclusive company where everyone has equal opportunities to contribute to our goal – working for fossil freedom.” Our Diversity & Inclusion Index has risen from 78% in 2021 to 88% in 2023. Strengthening our D&I work will continue to be a priority at Vattenfall. Next on the agenda is Vattenfall Pride Season with various workshops, events and pride parade attendances.

Wind power kites 300 meters above ground, cars that run on algae, and solar reflectors in space. Innovation is the spark that ignites progress, transforming bold ideas into solutions that redefine what's possible. In this issue of THE EDIT, we take a closer look at projects that could become viable options in the transition toward a fossil-free society - and highlight one innovation already capable of sparing lives deep underground. #Vattenfall #theedit #innovation #fossilfree #energy

By 2040, our aim is to reach net zero emissions. This is approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as being fully in line with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.   Our progress in climate emissions reductions means we have been recognised by the Financial Times as the fourth ranking energy company on the list of Europe's Climate Leaders 2024.   #SBTi #ScienceBasedTargets #netzero #climateemergency #fossilfreedom 

How did our work towards fossil freedom go in the beginning of 2024? Vattenfall had a solid start to the year with a good result development despite lower electricity prices.   “We live in a changing world, with continued geopolitical and financial uncertainty and we have an important year ahead of us. However, it is clear to us that the direction of the energy transition remains, and that many attractive business opportunities come with it,” says President and CEO Anna Borg. #Vattenfall #financialreport #quarterlyreport #fossilfreedom

Great inauguration at Teknikens hus Luleå Thursday. Vattenfall’s CEO Anna Borg was interviewed by the fantastic moderators Vera, 10, and Pelle, 12. The new exihibition ”Drivkraft” shows the young the important role of #fossilfree electricity, to decarbonize society.
