Harnessing of the energy generated by a solar power plant to produce ice cream

As energy demand grows around the world, traditional ways of sourcing energy are disappearing and harming the environment. The development of renewable energy sources (RES) is an attractive alternative to traditional energy.

In order to implement the development of renewable energy sources (RES), the Joint Stock Company Klaipėdos pienas has decided to apply under the call for proposals under the 05-001-01-04-02 „Encouraging enterprises to move towards a climate-neutral economy” for the activity „Promoting the deployment of renewable energy sources in industrial enterprises (Central and Western Lithuania)” for co-funding of an investment in a solar power plant. The installation of RES will reduce electricity costs and greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide, methane) and other air pollutant emissions, thus improving the living environment of the surrounding population. This project will not only reduce costs, but will also make us a company that contributes to mitigating the effects of climate change.
