4看到2030的目标
We're pledging to reduce energy, 水, 碳, and waste across all of our production facilities, 在世界范围内.
辛普劳的2030年4Sight目标
在Simplot, we are true stewards of the land, 空中和海上, driven to provide more plentiful, healthier food using fewer resources. Since we have all components of the agricultural value chain, we can tackle agricultural sustainability issues like nobody else, and that’s the approach we’re taking with our new sustainability goals.
能源
Reduce energy use 15% per ton of product
水
Reduce fresh水 intake 15% per ton of product
碳
Reduce 碳 emissions by 20% per ton of product
浪费
Zero waste to landfill in our food processing 植物s
Improving Operational Efficiencies-Today, and in the Future
J.R. Simplot私彩信誉平台十大网站 has specific and measurable sustainability goals. 的se operational goals are aimed at major reductions in energy, 水, 碳 and waste emissions by 2030. 有一个专门的计划可以让私彩信誉平台十大网站更准确地规划私彩信誉平台十大网站的未来和跟踪私彩信誉平台十大网站的进展, both globally and within every country in which we operate.
能源
私彩信誉平台十大网站的目标是:在过去的10年里,私彩信誉平台十大网站每吨产品的能耗降低了20%以上, and we intend to reduce energy use an additional 15% per ton of product by 2030.
Power Our Production Sites with Renewable 能源
辛普劳的科学家和工程师正在使用厌氧消化器将废物转化为气体,以减少私彩信誉平台十大网站的废物和能源消耗. Anaerobic digestion uses bacteria to consume waste product and create methane, a core component of natural gas and other fuels.
Recover Heat, Convert It to Renewable 能源
Simplot's Ulverstone site in Tasmania, 澳大利亚在2018年安装了一个500千瓦的热交换器,回收制冷系统的热量,用于预热锅炉给水. 这个系统利用了以前被排放到大气中的回收热量, 但现在救了私彩信誉平台十大网站十六个,000 gigajoules of natural gas per year.
Similar principles are applied at our fertilizer manufacturing sites, as we reduce energy consumption through heat recovery. 在私彩信誉平台十大网站的设施中,化学反应产生的热量被捕获并用作能源.
Achieve and Sustain ENERGY STAR Excellence in Food Processing and Manufacturing
Simplot is an ENERGY STAR 工业 Partner. All Simplot food processing 植物s in the U.S. and 加拿大 have earned ENERGY STAR Certification, 该奖项每年颁发给在私彩信誉平台十大网站内同类设施中能效排名前25%的设施. 私彩信誉平台十大网站在加拿大的Portage La Prairie工厂已经连续10年达到能源标准, 2019年,该项目扩展到加拿大,正式获得了能源之星的认可.
In 2019, 辛普劳在加州的Helm工厂成为第一批获得能源之星认证的氮肥工厂之一. This pioneering accomplishment was repeated in 2020, when the Helm 植物 was certified for a second consecutive year.
水
Our goal: Reduce fresh水 intake 15% per ton of product.
Address Historic Impacts with Advanced 水 Treatment
20世纪80年代和90年代在黑烟峡谷矿历史开采过程中建立的覆岩处置区,降水渗透使硒进入地下水. hohope泉和South Fork Sage Creek泉的地下水排放为下游河流私彩信誉平台十大网站了硒. 辛普劳建立了一个中试水处理厂(WTP),利用物理和生物技术来处理受影响的泉水. This unique and innovative treatment process uses two technologies. ultra-filtration (UF)/reverse osmosis(RO) membranes concentrate the selenium from the 水; then a fluidized bed bioreactor (FBR) use specialized bacteria to reduce and precipitate selenium from 水. 的 selenium is then removed as a solid. Simplot’s 水 treatment 植物 began operating at a 1,700 to 2, 000 gallon per minute rate in December 2017. 该处理设施从部分泉水中去除大约80-90%的硒.
Reclaim and Recycle 水 for a 50% Conservation Rate
Simplot最先进的, LEED Gold Certified potato processing 植物 in Caldwell, 爱达荷州, saves energy and 水 while increasing production. 在它的众多创新中, 该工厂利用反渗透水过滤系统,每天可以过滤和回收多达100万加仑的水. This reduces the fresh 水 use by nearly 50%, saving about 30 million gallons of 水 per month, 剩下的大部分, nutrient-rich 水 applied to surrounding crops.
碳
私彩信誉平台十大网站的目标:通过降低私彩信誉平台十大网站生产设施的排放,将每吨产品的碳排放量降低20%.
Adopt Next-Generation Technology for Freezer Storage
辛普劳最近投资了一个新的高隔间冰箱以提高私彩信誉平台十大网站考德威尔的能源效率, 爱达荷州, 植物. 建筑设计最大限度地减少了能源损失,并允许一个更小的制冷系统,使用更少的能源,但仍然保持冰箱在-5°F. 冷冻机还使Simplot能够在现场整合各种存储位置, 帮助私彩信誉平台十大网站减少运输足迹和卡车运输的温室气体排放. 的 project also included efficient lighting, heat pumps and reflective roof coating. In total, these improvements will save over 6.每年500万千瓦时的能源——足以为545个普通大小的家庭提供一年的电力. Two of our other potato production facilities employ similar new high-bay freezers.
Put Sustainable Fuels to Work for Potato Processing
Simplot has several projects in the works that use sustainable fuels. 例如, 辛普劳的摩西湖工厂拥有最先进的锅炉,可以燃烧三种不同的燃料:天然气, 氢和沼气. Hydrogen burns clean and has zero 碳 emissions from combustion. 辛普劳在全国各地也有几家从厌氧消化器中收集沼气的私彩信誉平台十大网站. 沼气是一种可再生资源,由土豆垃圾厌氧消化现场产生,可以用作可持续燃料, allowing Simplot to eliminate waste and reduce energy consumption. By combusting biogas and hydrogen, 与只燃烧天然气相比,该项目减少了碳足迹和自然资源消耗.
浪费
Our goal: Zero waste to landfill for our food processing 植物s, 在世界范围内.
培养堆肥
After a successful six-month composting pilot program, Simplot constructed a new advanced composting facility in Portage La Prairie, 加拿大. 的 植物 was designed to compost a variety of processing waste including wet waste, cull potatoes and soil residue. 截至2020年, 这家工厂已制成堆肥,384吨废物, and is able to compost materials that would otherwise have been sent to landfills. 它的闭环设计允许该设施限制任何营养丰富的渗滤液径流进入环境中,通过捕获它的细胞和减少温室气体排放. 径流被重新纳入堆肥过程中,以保持堆肥窗口内的最佳水分水平.
减少食物浪费
Simplot remains active in finding new solutions for reducing waste. 这包括从土豆中去除营养丰富的固体,并将其重新用于食品原料或牛饲料. We also repurpose another waste product, 活性有机固体残, to enrich livestock feed and as a soil amendment. 这些生物固体管理方法每年从堆填区转移超过15,000吨废物. 除了, 辛普劳为新鲜市场开发了一种新的马铃薯品种,有助于减少食物浪费. 的 先天®土豆 is less susceptible to bruising and spotting, 因此,农民可以把更多的作物带到市场和餐桌上,减少因损坏或缺陷造成的浪费.
