British Sugar is investing ~£20m in energy reduction projects over the next 3 years. They vary from small projects such as more efficient lighting, to investment in heat recovery, energy recapture and the use of biogas as an alternative fuel. Between 2006 and 2009 the company is working to reduce its use of energy by 19%.
British Sugar has also worked with the Carbon Trust to calculate its carbon footprint and finds that a 1kg bag of its sugar produces 0.5 kg of CO2e.
