Abstract
Overall energy consumption at FOI 2011 has been about the same as the year before, i.e. approximately 11 400 MWh. The energy consumption per employee has, however, decreased somewhat. The total amount of carbon dioxide emissions from energy consumption and business travelling (including taxi and car transport) in 2011 amounted to an equivalent of approximately 2 900 tons of CO2, or 3 tons per employee. The total carbon dioxide emission is almost identical with the one for 2010 Seventeen detailed environmental goals have been set by the institute. Out of these, ten have been fully achieved or are more than 50 % complete. Three of them have been presented in the form of ratios. An internal environmental audit has been conducted at FOI's measuring facilities in Linköping. The revision shows that the staffs have good environmental knowledge and there was nothing further to report. The total costs of environmental work at FOI amounted to SEK 0.9 million. FOI contributes significantly to reducing environmental impacts through its environmental research programs. Thus, in 2011, nine environmental projects at a total of SEK 16 million were conducted for the defence, while the civilian environmental research comprised a total of SEK 13 million. In all, FOI has carried out SEK 29 million worth of environmentally-related research.
