The Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP) production facility in Jordbro south of Stockholm has reached a new milestone. In less than a year, the 70,000 m² plant has slashed its energy use by 13 percent, thanks to a major energy efficiency project executed with Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
- Siemens supports major energy-efficiency project at Coca-Cola
- 13% reduction in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions
- Better air quality and decreased noise as additional benefits
The factory, which opened in 1997, produces more than 1 million liters of beverages a day, in different flavors and package sizes. Over the years, CCEP has worked systematically to reduce its climate impact. It partnered with Siemens to cut energy consumption and improve sustainability during production. The energy efficiency project resulted in annual savings equivalent to the amount of energy needed to charge a hybrid car 400,000 times.
Saving energy and improving air quality
Following an audit of the production plant’s energy use, Siemens together with Coca-Cola defined several energy-saving measures. In particular, new fans and heat recovery from high-pressure compressors were installed. This has led not only to substantial energy savings, but also to improved air quality within the buildings and to quieter operations, which has enhanced the quality of life for the surrounding residential areas. In addition, Siemens upgraded the existing building management system to the Desigo CC platform, facilitating continuous optimization of the production plant’s energy use.
“We are very satisfied with how the project went, seeing how the implemented measures are paying off in a short time. Now, we look forward to continuing to develop the project to achieve even greater efficiency gains,” said Kim Hesselius, property manager at Coca-Cola European Partners in Sweden.
“Our energy and performance services are based on a strategic approach, utilizing value-stacking to exploit the full potential. This ensures we deliver a positive impact right from the start as well as in the long term for the entire organization,” said Peter Halliday, global head of Building Performance and Sustainability at Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
For years, Siemens and Coca-Cola have collaborated on property automation. Now, they are looking into supporting CCEP’s net-zero target goals by 2040.
