Similar projects to significantly reduce carbon emissions at four of Unilever’s U.S. ice cream factories won a $20.9 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy, the company announced March 25.
The proposed project would cut 14,000 metric tons of carbon emissions per year, a major step in moving toward carbon neutrality for the factories that produce Ben & Jerry’s, Talenti, Magnum, Breyers and other Unilever brands. Well, at least brands Unilever owns today.
The main part of all four projects is replacing natural gas boilers with electric boilers and industrial heat pumps using waste heat recovery. Unilever reached 100% renewable grid electricity globally in 2020 and is in the process of moving all its workplaces to 100% renewable energy.
