indicators
Thermal energy consumption
Consumption of thermal energy in MJ (the corresponding C02 emission
is derived from this figure using the WBCSD Protocol)
Electricity consumption
Consumption of electrical energy in kWh
Water consumption
Solid waste disposal
Water consumption in m3
Non-recycled waste in kg such as hazardous waste, wastewater treatment
sludge and industrial waste
COD load of effluent
The Chemical Oxygen Demand of the treated or untreated wastewater
leaving the production unit and discharged to surface water in kg
Wastewater treated
The number of units discharging wastewater untreated in the environment
(status of the Wastewater Treatment Plant programme)
Specific thermal energy consumption
Thermal energy consumption per unit produced in MJ/hl beer, cider,
soft drinks and water
Specific electricity consumption
Electricity consumption per unit produced in kWh/hl beer, cider,
soft drinks and water
Specific C02 emission
Fossil C02 emission (direct and indirect) resp. derived from the thermal
energy and electricity consumption plus refrigerant losses expressed
in C02 equivalents per unit produced in kg/hi beer, cider, soft drinks
and water
Specific water consumption
Water consumption per unit produced in hl/hl beer, cider, soft drinks
and water
