Fonterra is one step away from pushing the go button on its first factory to convert from coal to wood pellet energy.
The dairy company’s Te Awamutu plant in the Waikato is putting the finishing touches on the $11 million power source conversion which could be used as a blueprint for its other factories around the country.
It was part of the company’s move to renewable energy and to reduce emissions as it worked towards net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
