In India, food giant Charoen Pokphand Goods (CPF) will launch six biomass plants, three cogeneration plants, and a biodiesel plant this year in an effort to cut their use of fossil fuel energy by 20% each year. The plants will use waste from chicken, pig, and shrimp operations, and are expected to cut carbon-dioxide emissions by 30,000 tonnes each year. The plants will cost the company nearly US$35M.
