Estonia's Saku beverage group eyeing switch to renewable energy within 5 years
"Less than five years from now, by 2022, all our production
operations must have switched fully to renewable energy. We must reduce our
carbon emissions by half, use of water by a quarter, make alcohol-free
beer available absolutely everywhere and reduce the number of work related
accidents," Marika Tungel, production
director at Saku, said in a press release. "The targets for 2030 have
been set higher still," she added.
"As a matter of fact, we have been moving toward these
goals already for some time and during last year, for instance, we improved our
efficiency when it comes to heat and electricity expenses by almost 15%,"
Tungel said.
She added that renewable energy can be used more extensively
through increased production of biogas from waste, for instance.
Carlsberg Grupp
has set its sights on fully eliminating carbon emissions at all its breweries
and cut the consumption of water by at least 50% at its plants by 2030.
