PepsiCo Columbia Adopts RNG

PepsiCo Columbia  entered into an integrated technology supply contract to receive renewable natural gas at its production plant.

The food and beverage manufacturer entered into a contract with Anaergia’s Canadian subsidiary, Anaergia DB Inc., which will supply PepsiCo Alimentos Z.F. LTDA (“PepsiCo”) with its high-efficiency digestion technology and integrated biogas conditioning and upgrading technology at PepsiCo’s food production facility in Funza. Funza is part of the Metropolitan Area of Bogotá, Colombia.

The biogas system supplied by Anaergia will convert approximately 50,000 tons per year of organic residues produced at the facility into renewable natural gas to be used within the facility, offsetting the use of fossil natural gas from the grid and reducing GHG emissions by up to 3,700 tons annually of CO2.

“By utilizing Anaergia’s solutions at our Funza facility, PepsiCo will be generating renewable natural gas from our residue streams and reducing our carbon footprint,” said Jim Andrews, Chief Sustainability Officer at PepsiCo, in a statement. “This project is another transformative initiative by PepsiCo, as we progress towards our carbon reduction commitment.”

PepsiCo Colombia is the third largest of PepsiCo’s businesses in Latin America, after Brazil and Mexico, with two production plants and seven distribution centers.
