The food solutions firm has constructed an electric heat pump facility at its Denmark plant.
Arla Foods Ingredients is taking a major step toward its carbon reduction goals with the construction of an electric heat pump facility at its primary processing plant in Denmark. The €32 million project is Arla’s largest single investment in net-zero initiatives to date.
Scheduled to go live in 2025, the facility at the Danmark Protein site will be able to convert 2.8MW of electricity into 8MW of heat. The shift to heat production by electricity instead of gas will cut the site’s greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 14,500 tonnes CO2 equivalent a year—a 22% reduction compared to 2023.
