Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company Invests in Clean Energy |
February 5, 2008
The Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company has announced
an ambitious plan to reduce its CÓ emissions in its production
sites by 20% per year. The reduction will be achieved by sourcing
power from 15 new on-site "Combined Heat and Power"'
(CHP) plants which will be constructed between 2008 and 2009
in a joint venture with the power development company ContourGlobal,
a subsidiary of General Electric.
The decision to invest in the new Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
plants follows a successful pilot project at one of CCHBC's
bottling facilities in Dunaharazti, Hungary. The use of CHP
cut the facility's CÓ emissions by 43% in the first year
of operation, saving €400,000 in energy costs.
The Coca-Cola Hellenic initiative on energy-efficient
power generation fully reflects the Coca-Cola system's
global commitment for sustainable growth, with the reduction
of greenhouse gas emissions playing a vital part.
