AFRY Insights Energy
Welcome to AFRY Insights magazine
This time we are focusing on the action required to accelerate the energy transition.
Brave steps in the energy transition
From hydrogen and smart cities to carbon removal and green finance - all opportunities to drive the transition to a more sustainable future must be taken. The knowledge and technologies to allow full decarbonisation are available, yet progress must be accelerated and collective action is needed.
In this issue of AFRY Insights, our colleagues share perspectives along the theme of taking action in the transition to a clean energy future. These challenging times call for dialogue and exchange with each other. In this spirit, we’re honoured to include interviews with three strong leaders.

How is digitalisation driving the transition to clean energy?
Digitalisation affects all areas of life and business, from mobility to urban development, from manufacturing to construction and from energy production to energy management. Amid the unprecedented challenges these sectors are facing, smart and intelligent solutions have never paid off as much as they do today.
In this issue of AFRY Insights, our colleagues share their most recent insights on the latest questions regarding digitalisation.
Sustainability and renewable energy
Mitigating climate change is one of the most important goals of our generation, which is why sustainability and deep dives into renewable energy are two threads running through these pages. We are very pleased that we can bring both topics closer to you with top-class interview partners and fresh insights into the clean energy transition from our team of experts.
In light of the Covid-19 pandemic and its political, social and economic effects, continuous dialogue with our clients is, now more than ever, one of our main objectives.
A new future
Roland Lorenz, Head of Management Consulting, gives more insight on the brand, its strategy and AFRY’s offer to the client: “Our company has great staff, that are driven by our curiosity to always grow and learn more. With the merger of ÅF and Pöyry, we have brought together experts from key areas that enable us as AFRY to offer truly sustainable solutions to the pressing issues of our time. Solutions that are sustainable because they result from a holistic perspective.”
