Energy transition value in food & drink: Turning projects into business value

Done well, energy transition initiatives can help food & drink manufacturers improve competitiveness while progressing towards carbon targets.

However, many companies face an implementation gap between identifying opportunities in a roadmap and getting projects approved and delivered. Closing this gap requires both a strong business case and a practical approach to reducing investment and execution risks.

Through two real-world case studies from leading food & drink companies, SLR’s experts will show how businesses are addressing these two challenges:

  • Making the business case: how projects can manage energy costs and exposure to energy and carbon risks.
  •  Moving from roadmap to execution: reducing investment and delivery risks through a phased decision process, early engagement with solution providers and alternative contracting models.

Participants will learn how companies are:

  • Improving project economics through energy cost savings, flexibility revenues and available subsidies.
  • Engaging effectively with solution providers to test technical and commercial options, balance risk and value, and explore alternative contracting models, including “as-a-service”.
  • Building confidence towards investment approval through a gated process that progressively validates project feasibility and economics and aligns operational, commercial and financial stakeholders.
  • Connecting energy transition and circularity by turning food-processing by-products into valuable energy resources
