Improve the energy efficiency of your assets
Your industrial installations consume a significant amount of energy in the form of heat, cold and compressed air. Energy efficiency is a key aspect of decarbonization. By entrusting us with the management of your systems, you can ensure the harmonization of operational and environmental performance.
Massively producing steam while reducing energy consumption.
On the site of The Kraft Heinz Company in Kitt Green, the largest food-canning plant in Europe, Veolia has deployed a facility capable of generating up to 140 tonnes of steam per hour. This installation reduces CO2 emissions by 8% and lowers the annual energy bill by £500,000.
Produce energy on-site
Reducing your reliance on fossil fuels and shielding yourself from the fluctuations of energy prices is possible through on-site energy production (with locally sourced low-carbon fuels). With Veolia's expertise and innovation capabilities, customized solutions can be developed to transform your outgoing flows (organic waste, wastewater, etc.) into resources for electricity or heat production.
Contribute to the carbon-neutrality of the factory, thanks to biogas production from wastewater
Within the new fresh milk processing plant of Arla Foods in Aylesbury, Veolia has implemented its Memthane® solution, capable of treating 800m3 of wastewater per day to generate biogas, hence contributing to make the plant carbon-neutral.
They are already decarbonizing their Food and Beverage value-chain
Transforming used bottles into new water bottles
In partnership with Sources ALMA, a major European producer of mineral water, Veolia has established the FILAO recycling plant, where 40,000 tons of used bottles are annually transformed into high-quality plastic granules before being used to produce new water bottles.
Reducing the Carbon Footprint of a Meat Substitute Factory
Within a Quorn meat substitute production facility, Veolia has implemented a cogeneration plant, enabling on-site production of electricity and heat, thereby reducing the energy consumption and
carbon emissions of the site.
Recycling the biogas produced from organic waste to generate heat
To produce industrial steam at a lower cost in the Bonduelle canned vegetable factory in Nagykőrös, Veolia has implemented a solution capable of generating 350,000 m3 of biogas annually from the organic matter present in the factory's wastewater.
Management and monitoring of utilities for a large packaging site
Veolia oversees the management and maintenance of the supply of steam, compressed air, refrigeration, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and filtered process water for Diageo's beverage packaging site. All while ensuring a reduction in the site's energy bill and environmental footprint.
Treating wastewater efficiently and producing green energy
Veolia partnered with Hershey to develop an advanced and highly effective wastewater treatment process to meet the current and future needs of the manufacturer. This facility also enables the production of 6.5 GWh of biogas per year.
Closing the loop from plastic waste to new bottles
The Veolia TorrePET plant processes 60,000 tons of plastic waste each year and transforms them into 34,000 tons of Plastiloop high-quality food-grade rPET pellets, enabling the production of 1.4 billion new plastic bottles.
The ecological transformation is within reach, don't wait any longer!
No matter your position in the proverbial farm-to-fork value chain, Veolia solutions can be deployed to help you reduce your greenhouse gas emissions. Feel free to contact our experts to conduct an audit of your facilities and your inputs and to establish a decarbonization roadmap.
