Valio and Gasum intend to make energy of farm manure
Carbon footprints for food and traffic are a hot topic that touches everyone in Finland. Traffic is the source of a fifth of Finland’s greenhouse emissions, and milk’s share of the emissions hovers around four percent. We are in need of new ways to control climate change. Valio, the food company, and Gasum, the energy company, intend to find solutions to the climate challenge together: cow manure can be used to generate biogas, which can replace fossil fuels used in transportation. This new statement of intent serves to initiate an investigation into an appropriate cooperation model.Valio,
