Cargill Overhauling Energy Processes to Decarbonize Global Cocoa Supply Chain

In Côte d’Ivoire, for instance, discarded cocoa shells are used to fuel biomass boilers, while a solar plant in Ghana powers production in Tema, and new ISO tanks are replacing disposable packaging, providing the opportunity to cut up to 100 metric tons of waste each month.

Agriculture and food production giant Cargill is investing in and deploying multiple energy efficiency and decarbonization technologies to transform the emissions footprint of its global cocoa supply chain.

The objective is to reduce carbon emissions, eliminate waste and boost efficiency from cocoa origin countries in west Africa to processing hubs in Europe. The moves include renewable energy installations, circular supply chain logistics and smart infrastructure technologies.
