dairy-factory-in-vietnam-certified-carbon-neutral

Vinamilk’s dairy farm and milk factory in Nghe An has recently received the PAS 2060:2014 Carbon-Neutral certification, making Vinamilk the first dairy company in Vietnam to achieve Carbon-Neutral at both the factory and farm.

The total greenhouse gas emissions neutralized by these two units, according to Vinamilk’s report, are equal to 17,560 tons of CO2 (equivalent to nearly 1.7 million trees). This achievement results from a dual plan of action that includes efforts to reduce emissions in production and animal farming and maintain the usage of Vinamilk’s green tree fund to absorb greenhouse gases over time.

Challenges and Solutions in Achieving Carbon-Neutral

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and moving toward Net Zero in the dairy industry is seen as very challenging, particularly for large-scale dairy farms. This goal requires comprehensively implementing investment in technology solutions, a shift to green energy, and circular economy practices …

Vinamilk’s pathways to Dairy Net Zero 2050

As a major enterprise with technologically advanced factories, farms, and the daily provision of millions of products, Vinamilk developed an action program focused on four main areas: Sustainable Agriculture, Green Production, Environmentally Friendly Logistics, and Sustainable Consumption. Vinamilk announced the “Vinamilk Pathways to Dairy Net Zero 2050” action program as its approach to Dairy Net Zero 2050. Vinamilk aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 15% by 2027, and 55% by 2035, and ultimately achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 as part of this strategy.

Vinamilk’s efforts in promoting green energy

Currently, 13 Vinamilk farms and 10 factories have completed solar energy systems, promoting green energy sources like as biomass (at the factories) and biogas (at the farms). Vinamilk has also made significant investments in developing dairy farm models such as Green Farm, which follow sustainable agriculture’s goals. The factories have undergone significant transformations to reduce emissions, implementing technological advances and early adoption of circular economy practices.

Vinamilk Mega factory’s solar power system

The solar power system at the Vinamilk Dairy Factory is one of the newest solar systems installed in Vinamilk’s factory chain. The system employs 7,542 high-efficiency solar panels, 27 110 kW inverters with auxiliary frames, and conductors with a high design endurance of over 30 years. With a capacity of 3,394 MWp, the system can generate over 5.5 million kWh of electricity annually to support the factory’s production activities. This project, provided by Vu Phong Energy Group as a General Contractor (EPC) and Operation & Maintenance (O&M) service, has been operational since 2022.
