VIDEBÆK, Denmark, Aug. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)<\/a> — Arla Foods Ingredients<\/a> is taking a major step towards reducing its CO2<\/sub> emissions on dairy level. A newly completed 8 million euro investment in a new heating system for Production Tower 4 at the Danmark Protein plant in Videb\u00e6k will deliver annual savings of 2,500 tonnes of CO2<\/sub>, equivalent to the annual heating consumption of more than 900 households using natural gas.<\/p>\n

As part of the project, the tower is being converted from operating with a gas heater to being able to switch between heat from the plant\u2019s existing steam system and a new electric heater. This will reduce the use of natural gas and allow renewable electricity to take over part of the operation. Calculations show that Tower 4 will be able to operate 100% on renewable electricity for 23% of the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis investment improves operational reliability, strengthen security of supply and reduce our climate impact.\u201d says Mogens B\u00f8gh Pedersen, Director of the Danmark Protein plant.<\/p>\n

Electrification significantly reduces CO<\/strong>2<\/strong><\/sub> emissions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Switching between steam and electricity allows Arla Foods Ingredients to use electricity when wind and solar power drive prices down and reduce consumption when prices rise, supporting flexible consumption in the Danish power grid while creating a strong financial business case.<\/p>\n

The new solution is an important part of Arla\u2019s strategy to electrify production and provides greater flexibility in energy consumption, enhanced reliability and opportunities for future development.<\/p>\n

While the new heating system in Tower 4 is now operational, a similar project is being planned for Tower 5. Together, the investments in Towers 4 and 5 will reduce CO2<\/sub> emissions by up to 5,200 tonnes annually, equivalent to the annual heating consumption of more than 1,900 households.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to delivering substantial CO2<\/sub>e savings, this investment also represents a very strong business case. We will also seek to scale across our other sites,\u201d says Paul van Rooij, Vice President, Supply Chain, Arla Foods Ingredients.<\/p>\n
