HYBRIT: Large-scale storage of fossil-free hydrogen successfully proven! HYBRIT's pilot project for hydrogen storage, that was launched in 2016 by owners Vattenfall, SSAB and LKAB, has now been completed and reported to the Swedish Energy Agency. The results show that large-scale storage of fossil-free hydrogen for industrial-scale steelmaking production is technically possible and can reduce variable production costs by up to 40 percent. HYBRIT has the potential to reduce Sweden's carbon dioxide emissions by 10 percent. #fossilfreedom HYBRIT #fossilfreesteel

Vattenfall celebrates Pink Shirt Day because we know bullying is not limited to schools: It can also exist in workplaces and online. Pink Shirt Day began in Canada when a student faced bullying based on gender norms for wearing pink. Today, Pink Shirt Day is a global movement against harassment in all its forms. At Vattenfall, we stand for respect, inclusion and a safe environment for all. We have a zero-tolerance policy against harassment and discrimination because everyone deserves to be protected and thrive in the workplace. Raising awareness about harassment and working against any form of harassment, bullying and discrimination is a top priority. Watch our Finnish colleagues stand up against harassment. Together, we can create a culture where everyone can feel safe and bring their best self to work. #Vattenfall #PinkShirtDay #Diversity #Inclusion #Respect 

Vattenfall was named a Leader in Diversity by the European Diversity Leaders Ranking, highlighting its commitment to embedding Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) throughout the organisation. The prestigious ranking is a collaboration between Statista and the Financial Times. Among Swedish companies, Vattenfall climbed from 35th place in 2022 to 3rd place in 2024. In the utilities sector, the company rose from 16th place in 2022 to 4th place in 2024, demonstrating its leadership in a traditionally challenging industry for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Stephanie Hinton-James, Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: "We are delighted to see Statista and the Financial Times recognising our company-wide collective efforts and work in the field of DEI. Vattenfall has climbed to Europe's top Leaders in Diversity, which is equally a recognition of the hard work of our Diverse Energy Networks and drivers of DEI among our employees and management. DEI is a strong movement at Vattenfall, so we are proud of this result. As DEI is also a work in progress, we will build on our achievements in 2025. With more robust legislation expected in Europe, Vattenfall will continue to ensure compliance and best practice through comprehensive, data-driven action plans tailored to prioritised DEI focus areas. This is how we drive real change." Read more at https://bit.ly/3CMFOhH #Vattenfall #Diversity #Inclusion #Ranking #DEI

CO₂ emissions in the supply chain are not only caused by construction and plant parts or grid and turbine components. Intangible services such as analysis tools, risk management software or monitoring systems also cause CO₂ - and can be consistently reduced.   With the Vattenfall Green Globe Award, we recognise exceptional achievements by our suppliers who support us on the path to a fossil-free future and actively help us to become CO₂-neutral by 2040. These suppliers support Vattenfall with trade-related services, such as analyses, forecasts, real-time pricing and weather data or trading and consulting.   Congratulations to our winners VITEC ENERGY AB, DTN and Bloomberg Financial for your commitment to fossil-free solutions in energy trading! We presented the Green Globe Award at the Vattenfall stand at this year’s E-world energy & water – for the very first time.   Your commitment is becoming increasingly valuable to our trading activities where also the introduction of AI in such services will only accelerate the related energy requirements! #Vattenfal #fossilfreedom #Eworld25 #trading #sustainability #AI #C02

Electricity prices continued to fall in 2024. Still, Vattenfall reports a stable underlying operating profit driven by higher achieved prices in the Nordics and an increased wind power generation.

🌊 Keeping our wind farms safe, from hundreds of miles away 🌊 At the Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm we’ve teamed up with Fugro to use sailing drones, operated remotely from Aberdeen in Scotland, to transform the way we carry out maintenance inspections. 🚢 These drones reduce the need for divers and manned vessels, minimizing safety risks for our team. 🚢 Emitting 95% less CO2 compared to manned vessels, the drones mean maintenance of our wind turbines has less impact on the environment. 🚢 Equipped with advanced sensors, sonar, and high-definition cameras, they provide real-time data and operate 24/7, ensuring quicker inspections and fewer unexpected failures.
