In a new energy efficiency project for a Chinese partner, NEWAsia Solutions is taking a strategic step to diversifying our portfolio to include agriculture, in particular, tea. As a culturally and economically significant cash crop, there is significant potential for synergies in energy and process efficiency in every step of the tea production process. In the coming months, this is the potential we will be unlocking for our client.
It is well known that within the life cycle of a tea leaf, the most energy intensive stage comes at the end, in brewing for consumption. Much is still unclear, however, about what the precise emissions from the different farming and consumption stages are. With this study, NEWAsia is looking forward to providing a much-needed baseline for tea sector energy and emission studies in the future, paving the way in the terms of both data and solutions. Cheers to that!
