April 24, 2025. PepsiCo recognizes the value of using Bio-LNG for transporting potatoes to its Lay’s chips factories in the Benelux. Each year, PepsiCo’s logistics partner, AB Texel, drives approximately 3 million kilometers for PepsiCo to transport potatoes from local farmers to PepsiCo’s potato chips factories in Broek op Langedijk, Netherlands, and Veurne, Belgium.
The use of Bio-LNG can result in savings of up to 2.545 tons of CO2 per year. Bio-LNG is a liquefied gas obtained by fermenting organic material, such as plant residues or manure.
Rozanne Drost, Sustainability Senior Manager, Northern Europe at PepsiCo, said: “Consumers worldwide enjoy PepsiCo products more than a billion times a day, and we believe it is important to use our scale, reach and expertise, together with our partners like AB Texel, to help break down barriers and drive positive change. That’s why as part of our pep+ agenda, we are focused on sustainable sourcing, transforming how we make and sell our products, and aim to inspire our consumers to make better choices.”
Piet Bakker, Manager Sustainability at AB Texel, said: “As a market leader in agri transport, we see it as our responsibility to reduce our CO2 emissions and continuously explore ways to make our services more sustainable together with our customers like PepsiCo. We are focusing on HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) and Bio-LNG, but in the future, part of our fleet may also be battery-electric or powered by hydrogen.”
