Bühler, Vyncke partner on low-carbon
emission facilities
UZWIL, SWITZERLAND - Bühler Group and
Vyncke have formed a strategic partnership to offer
integrated solutions with which biomass side stream
products are transformed into clean process energy
while reducing the customers' carbon footprint.
The dependency on fossil fuels - and with this,
CO2 emissions - can decrease from 20% to 100%,
depending on the raw material and side stream products. This means that in some cases, food plants
can become fully carbon neutral. The first focus of
the partnership is the segments of cocoa, oat and
malt processing.
" This partnership is a key element in our strategy to
massively reduce CO2 in the value chains of our customers, " said Johannes Wick, chief executive officer
of Bühler Grains & Food.
" Many industries rely on our solutions to reduce
their fossil fuel consumption, " said Peter Vyncke,
owner of Vyncke. " With Bühler, we now aim to also
become the standard to reduce the CO2 footprint of
the food industry. Together, Bühler and Vyncke can
now offer integrated and optimized solutions where
economic and ecological benefits go hand in hand. "
With new equipment, digital services and retrofit
offerings, Bühler already made strong progress in
making its solutions more energy efficient.
" By adding Vyncke's energy recovery processes to
our portfolio, we can offer our customers low- to zerocarbon food solutions, " Wick said.
Belgian technology supplier Vyncke specializes
in energy production from a wide range of biomass
byproducts, including industrial or municipal wastes.
The range of biomass-based fuels available for energy
production is broad; from agricultural and wood residues to sludges from industrial processes, recycled
wood, and specially grown energy crops.
Vyncke designs and builds green and clean energy
systems that combust biomass and waste to produce
thermal process energy from 1-100 megawatt hours
(Mwh) and electrical energy from 0.5-15 megawatt
electrical (Mwe).
With their cooperation, Bühler Group and Vyncke
are developing solutions for more sustainable food
production - with holistic process chains in which
energy recovery is integrated so that external energy
consumption and energy costs can be reduced.
This not only contributes to greater sustainability,
but also opens competitive advantages for food producers through greater energy efficiency.
Both Vyncke and Bühler have set the goal of reducing energy consumption in all new food plants by at
least 50% by 2025.
