ambar

25% of the energy used for the production of the Aragonese beer Ambar will ber. This measure, in addition to the savings in energy consumption that it entails for the company as it is self-consumption, will prevent the emission of 870 tons of CO2 per year into the atmosphere, the equivalent of the absorption made by 58500 trees.  

The total energy capacity of the plant is 3.057 MWh/year and its connection will start in several phases until it is fully completed in March 2023. In December, 40% of the panels located on the roofs of the storage buildings are put into operation which will be followed by packaging and filtering until reaching 4000 units. This photovoltaic plant is one of the largest industrial facilities in Aragon placed on roofs in an area of ​​19500 square meters.

Ambar recently launched a bottle made from recycled glass by 85,5%, lightened in weight and which, due to its shape, saved paper on labelling. Also, it replaced the traditional plastic rings that group the cans with 100% biodegradable cardboard and created the Ambar forests in La Serreta de Aínsa and in the municipality of Peñaflor in Zaragoza to offset their emissions. With its latest launch, Ambar Triple Zero, it has reinvented 0,0, removing sugar and committing to CO2 neutrality.

The project for the installation of the photovoltaic plant in the Ambar factory in La Cartuja, has been carried out in collaboration with Endesa X. Zaragoza, together with the island of Sardinia and Santiago de Chile, are the places chosen by this company to develop its commitment to decarbonization, the Aragonese capital being selected for having an economy based on industry and focused on innovation.

Both companies, within the Endesa X Flagship project, are studying other actions to decarbonize and electrify. The replacement of gas consumption by efficient heat pumps, heat recovery to improve the performance of the systems and other photovoltaic production plants are some examples that will allow us to continue reducing emissions.
