anticipated growth is factored in , the figure it will need to achieve is closer to 80 %. The reductions resulting from the new boiler will account for around 5 % of these efforts .
The measures being taken Arla Foods Ingredients will contribute significantly to the climate goals set by its parent company , the Arla Foods Group . It is working to cut its Scope 1 and 2 emissions * by 63 % between 2015 and 2030 – a target that has been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative as consistent with the reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5 ° C .
Thomas Lauritsen , Global Sustainability Manager at Arla Foods Ingredients , said : “ The electrification of energy-intensive processes is essential to achieve our ambitious climate targets while also meeting the growing demand for high-quality whey ingredients .
This is the latest initiative in our drive towards a carbon net zero future , and a key element of our commitment to phase out our use of natural gas for energy production . It ’ s unlikely to be our last electric boiler – we see major potential for this technology at other powderproducing sites .”
* Scope 1 emissions relate to activities under the company ’ s direct control , including emissions from production facilities . Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions caused by the energy that the company uses .
