Coca-Cola earns No. 3 spot on EPA’s onsite green power generators
Coca-Cola Refreshments earned the number 3 spot on the EPA’s list of the largest onsite green power generators. EPA’s Green Power Partnership includes more than 1,300 organizations recognized for their support of alternative energy to reduce their environmental impacts.
A key factor in Coca-Cola Refreshment’s high ranking is the recent installation of a landfill gas-to-energy system at one of its Atlanta facilities. The system fulfills most of the facility’s energy needs, including electricity, steam and chilled water. It is one of the largest biogas projects of its kind in the US. The use of bio-fuels, fuel cells and solar panels to provide alternative energy at other facilities also contributed to the EPA recognition.
