All the products in the Heineken franchise, including Heineken Original, HeinekenSilver, and Heineken 0.0 – as such, are now being brewed with 100% renewable energy in Vietnam.
The thermal energy in the brewing process comes from biomass, with input from agricultural by-products like rice straw, rice husks, and sawdust. Electrical demand in the production, meanwhile, is being covered by Energy Attribute Certification (EACs) sourced from certified solar projects in Vietnam. Towards the future, Heineken Vietnam is also exploring some bolder renewable electricity solutions, including Direct Power Purchase Agreement (DPPA).
Commenting on this milestone, Ms. Anna Bizon – Marketing Director of Heineken Vietnam, said “We are proud to announce that Vietnam has become the next country where Heineken is brewed with renewable energy – after the Netherlands and Brazil. This is truly a remarkable progress on Heineken Vietnam’s journey towards “Brewing A Better Vietnam”. At the same time, with one more natural ‘ingredient’ added into the brewing of Heineken®, we look forward to many more good times with our consumers, for the next 150 years and beyond.”
