Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd Sustainability Report 2019

Energy Efficiency in Our Operations Improving energy efficiency in our operations makes business sense just as much as it helps to reduce our environmental impacts. As part of our innovative approach across the group, we have a range of initiatives, including process solutions to eradicate wasted energy (for example installation of Variable Speed Drives and Intelligent Flow Controller); and behavioural solutions to reinforce a culture of good practice throughout our workforce (for example daily monitoring of energy consumption): VSD for Cooling Tower – Pulau Indah site Through installation of Variable Speed Drives (VSD), the motor speed of cooling tower fan is modulated based on an analogue input from a temperature sensing device. This helps to reduce the electricity consumption. Electricity Saving: > 330,000 MJ/year Cost Savings: RM35,000/year Intelligent Flow Controller (IFC) for Main Air Compressor – Pulau Indah site Our plant in Pulau Indah installed IFC for Main Air Compressor to help in stabilising the pressure of compressed air and it can avoid the pressure fluctuation (about 8 psig). This elimination of fluctuation saves up to 5% of electricity usage. Electricity Saving: > 360,000 MJ/year Cost Savings: RM39,000/year Centralised Cooling Extension – Shah Alam site With the extension of new lines, our plant in Shah Alam conducted electricity conservation by implementing Centralised Cooling extension for temperature fine-tuning. This system is a combination of each line’s cooling system which continuously circulates, evaporates and condenses a fixed supply of refrigerant in a closed system. Electricity Saving: > 720,000 MJ/year Cost Savings: RM56,000/year Renewable Energy Sourcing and Generation Energy efficiency can make a significant contribution, but we recognise that in order to ultimately decouple our activities from GHG emission, we must transition from hydrocarbon-based energy to renewable energy. We have begun to do this by sourcing more of our electricity from low-carbon and renewable sources. Further to this, we are also exploring options to generate our own renewable energy at our sites. Solar Energy Proposal A proposal to install a solar photovoltaic (PV) system at our Rojana site will provide an alternative source of energy for our operations. This will enable Rojana Site to significantly reduce energy consumption from the grid and utilise renewable energy for its operations. We will expand this into other plants after successful implementation at Rojana site. Plant Capacity: 999 kWp (1,300 MWh) per year Cost Savings: 6.35 million baht/year Reducing Carbon in Our Value Chain As well as making improvements to our own operations through energy efficiency and renewable energy use, F&NHB is able to share best practice and encourage improvement along our full value chain. We are still at the beginning of these efforts but understand that it is essential to support our business partners and customers to reduce their own GHG emission impacts.
