In an effort to meet the Chicago Climate Exchange’s required 6% annual greenhouse gas reduction target, Cargill has announced that it has reduced emissions at its US facilities by 11%. Cargill, long-time sponsor of SCIENCE SCREEN REPORT, credits this progress to reductions that have taken place at its US facilities over the recent years.
At its beef and pork processing plants, Cargill captures 20 to 25% of its methane emissions to use as fuel. For two consecutive years, Cargill's corn milling plants have earned the US environmental protection agency's energy star symbol. At this rate, Cargill is successfully making progress toward its 2015 environmental sustainability goals.
