Heineken has announced a big change
Heineken, the beer company present in many countries around the world, has now announced an ambitious partnership with Siemens, which aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2030 in all of their production facilities. As part of the decarbonization process, Heineken aims to save up to 15-20 percent of energy per plant and reduce carbon dioxide by an average of 50 percent.
By connecting digitalization and energy efficiency, Heineken and Siemens have embarked on a project that optimizes beer production processes to create plants with net zero emissions. With the help of the digital twin technology created in the virtual space, they created a model of the energy system of a typical Heineken brewery, and then analyzed the areas of possible energy savings.
The heating and cooling systems needed for the brewing process accounted for about 70 percent of the energy use. By optimizing these, according to Siemens calculations, energy savings of up to 15-20 percent can be achieved per plant, and the average carbon dioxide reduction can reach 50 percent.
