Alfa Laval at COP29 - live stream from 13 November 2024
With climate change accelerating, it has never been more important to focus on solutions that can mitigate CO2 emissions. Steel production contributes to around 7-9% of the global CO2 emissions, heavy-duty vehicle road transport corresponds to around 5%, and the potential for energy efficiency solutions is significant. The industry needs to shift towards sustainable solutions to stay competitive, but no company can do this alone. The whole ecosystem needs to transform. One key element to be successful is close cooperation with customers down the value chain, and there is customer demand.
In this session, we discuss how customer demand can drive innovation and investments, and what prerequisites, such as standards, might be needed.
This session was divided into two sub-sessions:
Panel 1 – Enabling Low-Emission Steel through Customer Demand
Martin Pei – Executive Vice President & Chief Technical Officer at SSAB
Anna Celsing Klingberg – Chief Sustainability Officer at Alfa Laval
James Schofield – Deputy Director of the Industrial Transition Accelerator
Panel 2 – Customer Cooperation for Innovation
Fredrik Nilzén – Head of Sustainability at Scania
Sriram Rajagopal – Head of Climate and Air Quality at Inter Ikea Group
Morten Bo Christiansen – Senior Vice President, Head of Energy Transition at Maersk
Moderator:
Emma Modéer Wiking – Global Head of International Sustainable Business at Business Sweden
