..............................................................

Chocolats Halba, part of the Swiss Coop Group, had set itself the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by the year 2023. The company’s management recently decided to achieve this target even ten years earlier, by 2013. As a consequence, measures were reviewed at Halba that would help improve the company’s energy balance and thus achieve the lower carbon levels aimed at.

From the start, experts from the Bühler Group were involved in this process to determine the existing savings potential. The result of this audit supplied a clear picture of all energy and  production streams. The savings potential calculated for the entire production line amounts totaled  25%.

 The measures that are meaningful from a commercial point of view are now gradually being put to practice by Bühler. This enables the costs and the carbon emissions of the entire production process to be appreciably reduced. The high quality and the flavor of the products are retained because every energy optimization effort is tailored to specific processing stages to ensure product integrity.
