Dairy UK Environmental Workshop
Dairy UK, Camco and the Carbon Trust are to host a workshop on Wednesday 16th June which will look at the potential of new technologies to offer emissions reductions in processing over the next 20 years.
The workshop, to be hosted at Harper Adams College, is in support of the Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator programme and will examine dairy specific processes, such as pasteurisation and CIP, looking at energy use and indentifying future solutions for reducing emissions.
Fergus McReynolds, Environment Manager at Dairy UK said: The IEEA programme will enable the dairy companies to drive forward the technologies which help deliver the environmental improvements championed in the Milk Roadmap. The dairy sector has shown its desire to improve the environmental footprint across the supply chain and the IEEA programme is one of the tools in this process.
The IEEA programme, funded by the Carbon Trust, is designed to take specific industry sectors beyond the traditional energy efficiency approach by looking in detail at production strategy, processes and equipment; looking inside the black-box to identify, implement and replicate those sector-specific savings that do not get picked up by conventional energy audits.
The dairy sector is one a number of sectors working with the Carbon Trust on the IEEA and is in the first phase of the three phase programme.
Dairy UK is a trade association that represents the interests of dairy farmers, producer co-ops, milk processors and doorstep deliverymen.
