Our energy sources
Vattenfall produces electricity from many types of energy sources, including hydro, nuclear, wind, solar, biomass, waste, and natural gas. We are actively phasing out fossil-based production and investing in a greater share of renewable generation.
Wind power
Wind power is one of the most important renewable energy sources to use if we want to limit global warming and contribute to Vattenfall's goal of fossil freedom.
Hydro power is economically attractive and has low levels of CO2 emissions.
Nuclear power generation plays a key role in supporting the energy transition.
Biomass is a renewable energy source and can be used to produce both heat and electricity.
Solar energy
The cost of solar panels has dropped significantly, and they are now among the cheapest forms of electricity generation. Volumes of solar panels will continue to grow in our core markets and around the world.
Waste can be used as fuel instead of being sent to landfill.
Natural gas can be a transition fuel on the journey towards fossil freedom.
We have phased out coal in our operations.
