Green milk – making dairy more environmentally friendly
Cow’s milk accounts for almost 3 % of global greenhouse gas emissions, but skimming the waste from dairy production in Europe could make the business much more sustainable.
Each year, around 140 million tonnes of raw milk is produced across Europe which requires an average energy input of 18 400 GWh. To put that into perspective, that’s enough to power Lithuania’s 1.35 million households for a year.
