Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (HCCB) has ramped up its renewable and clean energy capacity to meet 50 percent of its total energy requirements.
According to HCCB, the step's impact is equivalent to what 3,500,000 trees can reduce in global warming per year.
HCCB is eyeing to reduce its carbon emissions by 25 percent in 2030 from what was produced in 2015.
The beverage maker has so far been able to offset 46,500 tons of carbon emission per year with solar and wind energy and 30,000 tons using biomass fuel in its boilers.
HCCB Executive Director Supply-Chain, Alok Sharma, their total installed annual power generation from renewable sources has now increased from around 70 million units in 2019 to the current 95 million units.
HCCB is using nearly 50 percent of energy in eight out of its 15 factories from renewable sources.
Among its key initiatives includes converting furnace oil boilers to piped natural gas, the use of briquettes to power boilers, and installing solar rooftops for on-site power generation.
The company has also entered into Purchase Power Agreement for sourcing solar and wind through various state grids, the adoption of energy-efficient technology, and progressively replacing traditional bulbs and light sources with LED lights in factories.
HCCB manufactures and sells popular beverage brands such as Coca-Cola, Minute Maid, Thums Up, and Maaza.
