Löfbergs Climate Goals
SWEDEN
Löfbergs roasteries intends to reduce its climate impact 40% by 2020. By blending its liquid petroleum gas (LPG) with bio LPG, the company’s roasters already are operating cleaner.
To reach the 40% goal, based on a 2005 emissions benchmark, Löfbergs needed to find a greener fuel alternative. The solution was Bio LPG provided by Kosan Gas, a leading provider of LPG to Nordic countries.
Bio LPG is extracted from sustainable raw materials such as vegetable oils and animal fats when producing biodiesel. “By blending in 20% Bio LPG, our carbon emissions during roasting will be reduced 19%, which leads to us reaching our overall goal,” said Eva Eriksson, Löfbergs’s sustainability director.
Löfbergs, based in Sweden, is one of the largest family-owned coffee roasters in the Nordic countries with roasteries in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Latvia.
