Top 5: Five Reasons to Choose Renewable District Heating – Onni
18.10.2022
Oulun Energia’s journey towards increasingly environmentally friendly energy production began over a decade ago. The goal is to achieve a net-zero target by 2040 in line with the Science Based Targets (SBT) guidelines. This ambitious objective is advanced through daily actions, and Onni district heating is one example.
Oulun Energia’s net-zero target is part of the group’s sustainability goals – helping to tackle global environmental challenges.
However, these challenges require collective effort – close cooperation between companies and customers. The industry must offer transparent and competitive products that customers are willing to pay for. Heating accounts for up to 60% of a building’s energy use, which is why renewable heating plays a key role in driving the necessary change.
For Oulun Energia, meeting environmental targets means engaging our customers and partners. Every purchasing decision matters, whether you are a large corporate client or a homeowner. Small choices that promote sustainability ultimately create an impact that slows down climate change – together.
