Svenska Lantchips AB

Svenska Lantchips AB produces flavoured crisps made from Swedish potatoes – and is the first in its industry worldwide to start a fossil-free production of crisps.

The mission

Svenska Lantchips has long produced crunchy classics to be savoured at the weekend in all their cosy deliciousness. Producing crips requires a lot of energy, and the global production of crisps is currently powered by some form of fossil energy. As a result, Svenska Lantchips has felt the need to rethink and make its Swedish production more sustainable, – both for the climate and for its consumers.

Interesting facts:

We simply cannot brag enough about them, so we will settle for repeating it: First in the world!

The process

Together, BKtech and Svenska Lantchips have developed a technology whereby steam from the modular bioenergy plant is used to heat the fryers to the right temperature to produce high-quality crisps. This avoids the use of fossil fuels, making Svenska Lantchips the first company in the world to achieve an all fossil-free production.

Sweden’s best potato chips – in more than one way

Svenska Lantchips has long been committed to producing the best possible potato chips, both for its consumers and for the climate. For this reason, the decision was made to move away from propane gas and switch to biomass for the heating of fryers. Have a listen to the company’s story and learn more about how the switch to fossil-free bioenergy came about.

The results

Svenska Lantchips is proud of its energy conversion and now fossil-free production – and rightly so. They have gained a clear competitive advantage and become pioneer in their industry being the world’s first fossil-free crisp manufacturer.
