Watch the webinar: Leverage asset replacements to cut energy, carbon and costs

Food and drink manufacturers must maintain steady levels of production. So, when equipment reaches the end of its life, or upgrades are suddenly required, the potential for significant energy savings can be overlooked in favour of saving time. But there’s a better way. A smarter way. It results in reduced risk, more sustainable decisions, and strides towards carbon reduction targets.

This is the topic of our recent webinar with the Food and Drink Federation. It covers how to plan ahead and align replacement considerations with your wider decarbonisation plan.

Who is the webinar for?

This webinar is perfect for food and drink manufacturers who are conscious of 2030, 2035 and 2040 targets approaching and would like to:

  • reduce risk on large, equipment-based investments;
  • find technology that will help reduce emissions and cut costs;
  • leverage asset replacement with the new SBTi Version 2;
  • avoid eventual regrets by future-proofing upgrades and replacements; and
  • make a convincing business case for carbon reduction projects.

The webinar at a glance

During the webinar, BIP.Verco experts Oliver Brown and Matt Dickinson explain how to:

  1. Produce an asset replacement plan and prioritise investment
    Start with developing an asset register. Rate equipment in terms of efficiency, age, and compatibility with long-term targets. This helps develop a timeline for staged asset replacement.

  2. Use asset replacement to progress long-term decarbonisation
    Long-term decarbonisation will rarely be achieved in one go. Make sure that asset replacement decisions are compatible with the long-term strategy for your site.

  3. Identify and unlock savings on site through asset replacement
    Existing systems often hide inefficiencies or exclude potential for energy savings. Asset replacement provides an opportunity to implement savings and improve the business case for investment.

  4. Develop an investment case against ‘business as usual’ considerations
    In many cases, ‘business as usual’ is not a simple ‘like for like’ plant replacement. Ageing distribution networks may need replacing, for example. Accounting for all ‘business as usual’ costs is essential to the business case for additional investment.

Interested in developing an asset replacement plan?

A detailed asset replacement plan and structured roadmap for replacement can achieve great things for your site, including:

  • improved operational resilience;
  • reduced chance of ‘carbon lock in’; and
  • the green light for energy, cost, and carbon reduction projects.

Our team can help you prioritise replacement, forecast investment needs, and build a practical, phased capital plan. We provide:

  • an asset register, prioritised by performance, efficiency and suitability;
  • condition and remaining life analysis to pinpoint where and when spend is needed;
  • appraisal of replacement options and technologies;
  • a phased, budget-costed replacement roadmap with decision points; and
  • OPEX and carbon impacts to guide whole-life CAPEX choices.
