In 2024, Ballymooney Foods reduced energy use to 181.9 kWh/t and diesel to 17.4 l/t, surpassing milestone targets through improved logistics and operational efficiency.
In 2024, Ballymooney Foods delivered strong results in energy efficiency, reducing electricity and gas consumption per unit output from 218.23 kWh/t in 2023 to 181.9 kWh/t. This performance exceeded the company’s milestone target by 18.1% and reflects a clear focus on operational improvements, even though no formal initiatives were reported in this area.
The company also made progress in reducing diesel consumption, which fell from 19.86 l/t in 2023 to 17.4 l/t in 2024, surpassing the milestone target by 44.2%.
Ballymooney Foods began collecting carcasses from suppliers after completing delivery runs, thereby avoiding the simultaneous transport of meat products and carcasses. This adjustment helped reduce fuel consumption and improve overall transport efficiency.
While Ballymooney Foods did not document specific actions behind the electricity and gas savings, the results suggest that efficiencies may have come from better production planning or equipment use. The company has since reprojected its 2025 targets based on this improved performance, indicating confidence in its ability to maintain or build on these gains.
