TRANSCRIPT
Coca ColaBy: Gabriel WhaleyVictoria RyooNandita Rao
History/ Past actions and concerns Battling the usage of
chlorofluorocarbons in the 1990’s Being in agreement with 1997 Kyoto
Agreement to find alternative refrigeration technologies
Joining Danish Technical Institute, Danish Emergency Agency and Vestfrost and Danfoss to conduct trials on single door coolers that reduce energy consumption using HC gases
Current Energy Consumption
Manufacturing 850 plants
provides power for equipment such as boilers, chillers and air compressors
Fleet/Transport 200,000 vehicles
transports ingredients, packaging and finished beverages
Sales/Marketing equipment more than 9 million vending machines and coolers
largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions within the system and produce three times the estimated emissions of our manufacturing facilities
Protection Strategy Refrigeration
Equipment Offices and bottling
plants Fleet and
transportation Global awareness and
action
Refrigeration Equipment Vending machines and
coolers more than nine million
coolers and vending machines
the largest estimated contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within our system wide operations
produce three times the estimated emissions of our manufacturing facilities and more than five times the emissions from our fleet
Cornerstone of their energy and climate protection efforts
Offices and Bottling Plants Coca Cola is investing to
improve our energy efficiency by investigating and supporting market development for renewable power
Coca Cola has discovered practices which can improve energy efficiency in company operations by more than 10%, and prevent about 500,000 metric tons per year of greenhouse gas emissions
Fleet and transportation Energy is used by
200,000 vehicles to transport ingredients, packaging and finished beverages
Fossil fuels provide the bulk of their energy, but supports market development for renewable power
developed an Energy-Efficiency Guidance Manual that includes best practices which can improve energy efficiency in our operations by more than 10%, and prevent about 500,000 metric tons per year of greenhouse gas emissions
Global Awareness and action Actions taken
Launched multi-stakeholder initiative called “Refrigerants, Naturally!” in 2004 encourage environmentally friendly cooling technologies and to address global climate change through promotion of HFC-free alternative refrigeration technologies that protect the Earth's climate and ozone layer
Partnership with WWF to reduce energy consumption and climate footprint
Signed the UN’s Global Compact's "Caring for Climate: The Business Leadership Platform." which is a global call to businesses and governments to speed up action on climate change
committed to engage our global supply chain to work toward the common objective of advancing practical climate change solutions
Recent actions (in 2007) increased the penetration of Energy
Management System, EMS-55, which can reduce energy consumption up to 35 percent
By the end of 2007, over 500,000 of these EMS-55 units were shipped into the Coca-Cola system
combined annual energy reduction is estimated to be more than 650 million kilowatt-hours, with a corresponding greenhouse gas reduction of over 350,000 metric tons
Actions the company has planned/is planning to take to battle global climate change
New environmental policy for cold drink equipment Expanding research in development of more
environmentally friendly equipment No longer purchasing new cold drink equipment
using hydro fluorocarbons when cost efficient alternatives are available (for to both refrigerant gases and insulation)
There will be specific time schedules to use only HFC free foam insulation and refrigeration
Wants to create new equipment that is 40-50 percent more energy efficient than today's
Outline of actions planned to take transitioned to HFC-free insulation for new purchases
of sales and marketing refrigeration equipment This new equipment generates 75% fewer direct
greenhouse gas emissions as compared with traditional sales equipment
significant research and development investments to identify a cost-effective commercial solution to refrigerant gas
using carbon dioxide technology to help reduce direct greenhouse gas emissions from refrigerants (Carbon dioxide is a natural refrigerant that is HFC-free,
has less direct climate impact and improves energy efficiency under typical operating conditions)
