Case study
Poços de Caldas
decarbonisation
project
Considering the abundance of renewable
electricity and the convenient ratio
between electricity and natural gas prices
in Brazil, Poços de Caldas was selected
as the first Ferrero plant to implement the
strategy to electrify the heat. It means
replacing the traditional natural-gas
boilers that produce steam and hot water,
with electric boilers and heat pumps, which
can produce the same energy in a more
efficient way, as well as using renewable
electricity. In addition, an electric roaster
replaces a traditional gas roaster. Once
completed this will allow the site to save
about 2,900 tCO2eq Scope 1 a year (about
95% of the current figure). Despite this,
the initial reduction is small compared to
the whole target, but it is an important
pilot as we can then extend the strategy
to other plants.
2,900.00.
GHG Scope 1 emissions saved per year
Following the electric roaster, in November
2022, the first two heat pumps have been
installed, to replace two natural gas boilers to
produce hot water for the factory process.
The second step of the project has been
approved and started, and this includes a
high-pressure steam-electric boiler, a
photovoltaic plant to increase on-site
renewable electricity production, and
upgrading the electrical connection to allow
renewable electricity from the grid. The third
and final stage will include two more heat
pumps for hot water and another electric
boiler to produce medium-pressure steam.
