Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd Sustainability Report 2021

Energy Efficiency in Our Operations INITIATIVES Energy Reduction Initiatives – Rojana plant In Thailand, we have implemented several initiatives to reduce energy consumption: • An automatic control system for the chiller is developed to supply iced and chilled water. During o*-peak periods, the chiller water will be generated and stored in raw water tanks (as ice bank), which will be used during peak periods. This has led to a reduction of electricity consumption of over 1.3 million kWh and a cost savings of over THB4.7 million per year. • A new compressed air bu*er tank is installed to avoid the usage of small air compressors during peak periods. This has contributed to the reduction of electricity consumption of over 150,000 kWh and annual savings of over THB500,000. • A new 10m 3 tank is installed to collect hot water, after cooking from cooling water to heating-up cold milk during the pre-heating phase, as part of the heat recovery phase. This has led to a reduction in NG consumption of over 3,700 mmBTU and annual savings of over THB750,000. • A new steam trap was replaced to prevent heat losses and reduce consumption of natural gas of over 2,800 mmBTU with an annual savings of THB570,000. Energy Reduction Initiatives – Shah Alam plant Intelligent flow controllers are installed for the main plant air compressor at our Shah Alam plant. By installing this, the fluctuation pressure during operations can be reduced from 0.5 bar to 0.14 bar, which has resulted in a 15% (over 400,000 kW) reduction of yearly energy consumption and over RM140,000 in savings. Our Shah Alam plant also implemented two energy recovery initiatives, which are reducing the glycol compressor usage in the product mixing at higher temperatures and reducing the steam usage at the warmer machine. This has contributed to a reduction of over 11,000 MT of steam and over 3,000,000 kWh of electricity, with an annual savings of over RM1.5 million. Energy Reduction Initiatives – Pulau Indah plant At our Pulau Indah plant, we installed a dedicated air compressor for the Chiller Plant filler and this has helped to reduce the electricity consumption of over 200,000 kWh per annum, with an annual cost savings of RM83,000. We have also installed a Paxton Smart Air Blow to replace multiple blowers at the can conveyer. This has helped to reduce noise and electricity consumption of over 150,000 kWh per annum, with an annual cost savings of RM57,000. Renewable Energy Sourcing and Generation Solar Energy – Rojana plant At our Rojana plant, we installed a solar panel rooftop in April 2020. It has provided us cost savings of about THB6 million. The THB30 million solar PV system with 1MWp generating capacity significantly reduces energy o*take from the grid by utilising renewable energy for its daily operations. Solar Energy – Shah Alam, Pulau Indah & Bentong plants As part of the strategic direction to reduce fossil fuel consumption and carbon footprint reduction, we are embarking on a renewable energy programme at our 3 plants in Peninsular Malaysia (Shah Alam, Pulau Indah and Bentong) by setting up 10MWp solar PV systems at the three plants. The 10 MWp of total solar energy capacity at its Shah Alam, Pulau Indah and Bentong plants in Malaysia, once completed in end 2021, will generate clean energy equivalent to the electricity consumption of 3,700 typical households in the country. With this, F&NHB will replace at least 20 per cent of its total electricity requirement in Malaysia with clean energy by 2022. 098 O P E R A T I O N A L E C O ! E F F I C I E N C Y
