PARAMETERS
Thermal energy consumption
Consumption of thermal energy in MJ
Electricity consumption
Consumption of electrical energy kWh
Water consumption
Water consumption in m3
COD load of effluent

PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Specific thermal energy consumption
Thermal energy consumption per unit
produced in MJ/hl beer plus soft drinks
Specific electricity consumption
Electricity consumption per unit produced in
kWh/hl beer plus soft drinks
Specific C02 consumption
Fossil carbon dioxide emission (direct and
indirect) per unit produced in kg/hi beer plus
soft drinks derived from the thermal energy
and electricity consumption. The
corresponding C02 emission is derived from
this figure using the WBCSD Protocol
Specific water consumption
Water consumption per unit produced in hl/hl
beer plus soft drinks
