Abstract
A postal survey of a representative sample of UK red meat plants was undertaken during 1992 to collect data on average energy consumption and production. The survey covered sites that produced beef, pig meat and lamb products. The survey has shown that if a typical multi-species site with an annual production of 12,000 tonnes per year of `bone in` and `boneless` meat products and average specific energy consumptions of 203 kWh/tonne and 7.50 therms/tonne were to achieve the industry`s average reported consumptions of 155 kWh/tonne and 5.57 therm/tonne, it could expect a reduction in its energy bill of Pound 32,000 per year. If all red meat plants were to achieve the best reported practices for the extent of their processing operations and species slaughtered, then the total energy savings for the sector would be 1.8 million GJ per year, worth around Pound 18 million per year.
