Danone Seeks Carbon Neutrality by 2021 With €25M Boiler Investment

Danone has announced an NZ$40 million (€25 million) investment in its Nutricia spray drying plant with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality by 2021.

The company said that the achievement will be driven primarily by the installation of an NZ$30 million (€17.5 million) biomass boiler that will reduce the plant’s CO2 emissions by 20,000 tonnes per year.

The boiler, which will be powered by locally-sourced, sustainable wood fuels, will boost the process of converting milk into a dry powder through the application of heat.

Danone also revealed that the investment in the plant will also see the installation of a new water treatment plant that will efficiently treat water waste.
