The heat is obtained from fossil fuels - chiefly from gas or oil and, in a few cases such as in China, from coal. Specific thermal energy consumption by our breweries decreased by 7% in 2001, from 125.8 MJ/hl to 118.5 MJ/hl beer. Most of the savings were achieved by employing heat recovery methods, for example at St. Omer (France) where a thermal wort vapour compression system has entered service. Further more the switch from coal-firing to more efficient oil-firing (Poland) and introducing 'good housekeeping' measures (China) also contributed to the reduction. Thermal energy is needed in maltings for kilning malt and in soft-drink plants for bottle-washing and pasteurisation. Specific heat consumption by our maltings decreased to 3,053 MJ/tonne in 2001, down 3% on the year before.
