Heineken And Omega Energia Seal Partnership For Renewable Energy Supply Aiming To Power Breweries And Distribution Centers In The Northeast Region, Preventing The Emission Of 270 Thousand Tons Of CO2

Omega Energia has partnered with the Heineken Group for the installation of renewable energy generation assets in the Northeast, with the mission of providing sufficient energy to meet 100% of the consumption of nine distribution centers and 13 breweries in Brazil. The partnership was announced by Omega, which secured the agreement through Omega Desenvolvimento, on Wednesday (01).

Omega Energia And Heineken Reduce 270 Thousand Tons Of Carbon Emissions

According to Omega Energia, the operation of renewable energy in the Northeast will result in a reduction of 270 thousand tons of pollutant gas emissions into the atmosphere.

Additionally, the contract between Heineken and Omega Energia provides for the supply of renewable energy for a period of ten years. According to Fabiana Polido, commercial director of Omega Energia, the contract with Heineken for the Northeast demonstrates that the company is always ready to create innovative and customized renewable energy solutions for its clients and contribute to building a society with clean, sustainable, and competitive energy.

Following the same sustainable path, Heineken is committed to eliminating emissions from its production in the country by 2023, seven years ahead of the company’s global target, and also intends to neutralize its carbon footprint across the entire value chain by 2040.

According to Ornella Vilardo, the brewery’s sustainability manager, Heineken recognizes its active role in this challenge to foster and promote positive socio-environmental impacts in Brazil. According to the manager, the renewable energy contract in the Northeast with Omega Energia represents a milestone for the use of energy from 100% clean sources in the company’s production units.

Heineken’s path to neutrality began in 2018, and currently, six of the company’s 12 breweries in Brazil already use biomass in their boilers instead of natural gas. Ornella states that one of the major challenges is achieving logistical neutrality.

To this end, Heineken plans to bring renewable energy to all 31 distribution centers by 2023 and, two years later, use only electric forklifts. Additionally, in July of this year, it began a pilot test with electric trucks in Salvador and São Paulo, important locations for the group.

Get To Know The Companies Involved In The Project

Heineken was founded more than 140 years ago and currently sells more than 25 million products every day, spread across almost 200 countries around the world, without ever losing the quality and purity of its beers.

The brand emerged in 1873 and has since built a great name among the best breweries in the world. Meanwhile, Omega Energia, much younger, emerged in 2008 and has become a reference in renewable energy generation. Currently, the company is one of the largest holders of renewable assets in Brazil and is present in seven Brazilian states with 1,869 MW of contracted capacity.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
