Ahlstrom installs a biomass boiler at its Rottersac site in France. This will reduce the site emissions with approximately 80% and significantly lowering the carbon footprint of products, benefiting Ahlstrom’s customers. This location serves as a key hub for Ahlstrom’s food packaging operations in Europe.
Once operational, the biomass installation will reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 34 kilotons annually, the equivalent of removing 21,250 passenger cars from the road. Preparations for implementation will begin immediately, with operations expected to commence in 2029. This reduction will contribute to Ahlstrom’s 2030 climate targets.
This strategic investment marks a significant step forward in Ahlstrom’s commitment to decarbonization and its Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) goals. Ahlstrom’s broader sustainability goals include achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with SBTi, and increasing the share of renewable energy across operations. These goals are embedded in Ahlstrom’s strategy to drive transformation through innovation, collaboration, and responsible resource use.
Ahlstrom is a global leader in combining fibers into sustainable specialty materials.
