Bacardi will use a Combined Heat & Power (CHP) system in its distillery in Puerto Rico to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of its rum brand by 50 percent from next year.
The CHP system will replace heavy fuel oil with propane gas, which is cleaner and more energy.
The reduction in the brand’s emissions in its Puerto Rico distillery represents a 14 percent cut in the total global emissions for Bacardi, which is a significant step towards the 50 percent decrease it is aspiring for by 2025.
Bacardi’s other 2025 targets include a 25 percent cut in water consumption at its production sites, sustainably sourcing 100 percent of key raw materials and packaging, achieving 100 percent recyclable product packaging, and contributing zero waste to landfill at all of its production sites.
Rodolfo Nervi, VP of global safety, quality & sustainability at Bacardi, said that while natural gas is currently the most responsible energy source in Puerto Rico, they are exploring more ways to reduce their use of carbon-based fuels even further and take more positive steps towards our ultimate goal of net-zero.
Nervi emphasized that Bacardi is committed to cutting our GHG emissions by reducing their energy consumption and switching to the most sustainable form of energy in the countries where they operate.
