Drop the C - reducing CO2 emissions (continued)
Lower emissions in production
O Q,
Report of the Executive Board
Report of the Supervisory Board
2020 commitment
Reduce CO2 emissions
from production by 40%
to 6.4 kg CO2-eq/hl7
2018 milestone
Reduce CO2 emissions
from production by 37%
to 6.7 kg CO2-eq/hl
Our progress
On track
Our contribution
to the SDGs:
7.2
Share of renewable energy
7.3
Double the improvement
of energy efficiency
We are ahead of our 2020 commitment, achieving
a 47% reduction in CO2 emissions from production,
compared with 2008 (2017: 41%).
Our emissions are decreasing in absolute terms as
well - even though production volumes in 2018
were 81% higher than in 2008, our emissions were
4% lower. 27% of our electrical energy and 10% of
our thermal energy come from renewable sources
(2017: 29% and 7% respectively).
A new onsite biomass boiler now provides 100%
of the thermal needs in our brewery in Sampang
Agung, Indonesia.

For more on our Drop the C programme approach and progress,
see our website and case studies.
We delivered three projects to capture and reuse
biogas from wastewater treatment plants at our
breweries in Guadalajara and Toluca in Mexico and
Sango-Ota in Nigeria.
Looking ahead
We piloted an internal carbon price mechanism
to inform our investment decisions and drive
low-carbon solutions and innovations.
In 2019, we will use more renewable energy, as new
projects will be delivered by our Renewable Energy
programme across all regions. A significant volume
of the power for our production in Mexico will be
generated from wind and hydro sources. A number
of our businesses in Asia Pacific will be supplied
with electricity produced by Solar panels mounted
on the roof of our production facilities. In Europe,
Asia Pacific and Brazil, we are commissioning new
biomass projects to supply renewable sources
of heat.

Brewing a Better World in action
Wind power in Brazil
In 2018, HEINEKEN Brazil started up its own wind farm
in Acaraü, Ceara. With a capacity of 112,000 MWh, it
can cover 30% of the total electricity needed by our
operations in Brazil.
Biomass and biogas
In Nigeria, we have started using renewable biogas
generated from the treatment of wastewater to power
our boilers. In June 2018, we launched our first biomass
plant in Indonesia, at the brewery in Sampang Agung.
It is the tenth biomass plant of HEINEKEN, which will
produce 100% of Sampang Agung brewery's heat
requirements using rice husks as a fuel.
