Top 5: Five reasons to choose carbon-neutral district heating
Oulun Energia’s journey toward carbon-neutral energy production began a decade ago. According to the latest estimate, it is able to achieve complete carbon neutrality by 2030, five years ahead of its target schedule. The ambitious goal is being pursued by carrying out everyday acts, of which choosing the carbon-neutral district heating Onni by Oulun Energia is one example.
Carbon neutrality is part of the Group's corporate sustainability objectives—it helps to address global environmental challenges. However, environmental challenges require collective action, i.e., close cooperation between companies and customers. The industry must offer transparent and competitive products for which customers are willing to pay.
For us at Oulun Energia, meeting our objectives of carbon-neutrality means getting our customers and partners involved in the work. Everyone’s consumer behavior matters, no matter whether they are a corporate or residential customer. Making small choices that promote sustainability will eventually have the effect of slowing down global warming, something that we must achieve together.
