Decarbonisation options for the Dutch dairy processing industry
report
This report describes the situation of dairy processing in the Netherlands as of 2020, and looks into the possibilities for decarbonisation of this sector, based on publicly available literature. The goal is a general view on the present production processes that are used in the sector, and decarbonisation options coupled to these processes.
In the Netherlands, there are 53 dairy processing facilities, which are supplied with around 14 billion kilograms of milk annually. 43 of them, including all EU-ETS registered facilities, participate in the MJA3 covenant of the dairy sector. They consumed about 21 PJ of energy in 2018 (RVO, 2019), and used 7.7 PJ electricity and 12.1 PJ natural gas (Doornewaard, Hoogeveen, Jager, Reijs, & Beldman, 2019, pp. 210, 211). Of these 43 facilities, 11 are, largely because of their size, registered under the EU ETS, being FrieslandCampina (7 locations), Promelca Dairy Foods (Gorinchem), DOC Kaas (Hoogeveen), Royal A-ware / Fonterra (Heerenveen), and Danone Nutricia (Cuijk). The total greenhouse gas emissions of the diary processing sector are approximately 1.1 Mt CO2-eq, of which the aforementioned EU ETS facilities are responsible for 0.47 Mt.
