Carbery’s Bio refinery • Carbery pioneered the operation of an industrial-scale whey-to-ethanol plant in 1978. • The ground-breaking process was later adopted in New Zealand and by Muller in Germany and was known as the ‘Carbery Process’ • By introducing a ‘whey to ethanol’ plant, Carbery provided a solution to deal with the waste stream, whey permeate. • Plant currently produces about 10.5 million litres of bioethanol/annum.
Environmental Benefits of Whey Derived Bioethanol • Significant GHG emissions saving – 85% less carbon intensive than petrol • In Irish context it equates to avoided CO2 emissions of 16,321 tonnes of CO2 compared to standard petrol - very beneficial impact on Ireland meeting its 2020 transport targets • Indigenous locally sourced bioethanol with strong environmental benefits subscribing to strong sustainability credentials • Whey permeate is a waste with a very high BOD and is potentially a very polluting waste stream, Carbery process ensures cascading principles of wastes are adhered to
