Agricultural commodities are critical for global food supply, and understanding their determinants is crucial for policymakers and investors. READ MORE

  5. 4. Profitability During a Sustainability Transformation - A Case Study of a Swedish Petroleum and Biofuel Company

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Företagsekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Michael Crona; Filip Linnér; [2023-02-27]
    Keywords : This report examines the financial profitability of a petroleum and biofuel company during their sustainability transformation. The case company is Preem AB; the largest fuel company in Sweden. The study finds that debt-to-equity ratios tend to increase with investments in more sustainable solutions. This could propose a higher financial risk to the firm. The report also proposes and discuss the use of metrics for CO2- emission that are easier to understand than just the weight of the gas emitted. Preem does not seem to benefit from being part of the European Union’s Emissions Trading System ETS ; since their green investments are focused on reducing emissions in the use phase of their products; not in the production phase; which is what the ETS measures and rewards. The case study is based on an interview with a director at Preem to get an insight to the green investments. Data for financial- and environmental performance are collected from official reports published by Preem.;

    Keywords : Biokolteknik; Lönsamhet; Lantbruk; Investeringsprocess; Biochar technology; Profitability; Agriculture; Investment prosses;

    Abstract : Lantbruksföretag har vanligen stora energibehov och samtidigt relativt små marginaler. Det är därför viktigt med en stabil och lönsam energianläggning. Det blir allt vanligare att lantbrukare investerar i innovativ bioenergiteknik. Detta för att frångå marknadens volatila elpriser och samtidigt producera hållbar bioenergi. READ MORE
