Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd Sustainability Report 2020

Our Energy and Climate Change Strategy, which aligns with ThaiBev’s climate change and energy strategy, is broken down into five priority areas: Our Initiatives Energy Efficiency in Our Operations Improving energy efficiency in our operations makes business sense just as much as it helps to reduce our environmental impacts. As part of our innovative approach across the group, we have a range of initiatives, including: Switch to liquid sugar for our productions – Rojana plant In Thailand, the switch to liquid sugar for our productions at the Rojana plant has helped us save energy due to the approximately 150 kg steam/hr reduction in steam usage. The heat recovery Phase 4 to sugar dissolver gives us 0.70 million THB in savings. Energy Reduction Initiatives – Pulau Indah plant In Malaysia, we phased out the conventional forklifts for electrical forklifts at our plants to reduce GHG emission. The installation of heat pumps helps to reduce natural gas consumption by changing the mechanism to use steam. This contributes to a potential saving of RM153,000 per year. Installation of Thermal Vapour Recompression (TVC) has helped to reduce natural gas consumption, with potential savings of RM500,000 per year. We have installed an inter-region flow controller to regulate air compressor pressure to regulate electricity usage and avoid peak loads at the new fresh milk line. We recover our condensates back to the boiler instead of discharging. Energy Reduction Initiatives – Shah Alam plant At our Shah Alam plant, we are centralising a 40-bar air compressor to compress the air system and stabilise supply air pressure which is to be completed in November 2020. We replaced diffusers for blowers for our wastewater treatment plant in June 2020 to save 673,000 kW of power per year, and auto blowdown for boilers installation to reduce natural gas was completed in October 2019 with 985 MMBtu savings per year.
