In Finland, Nordic energy company Gasum and the food and confectionary group Fazer have entered into an agreement on the use of biogas in the transport of Fazer’s bakery products. The inedible food waste generated at the bakeries is used to produce biogas in Gasum’s biogas plants.
This means that some of Fazer’s products travel across Finland using energy produced from Fazer’s own waste.
Fazer aims to cut its carbon footprint by at least 42% by 2030. Concrete ways to achieve this include using more renewable energy in production, making transport fossil-free and replacing natural gas with biogas.
Fazer currently uses two biogas trucks and biogas is used in 8% of transports. The aim is to steadily increase the number of biogas and e-vehicles so that at the end of the decade all of Fazer’s transports are emission free, either by using electricity or renewable gas.
