Caribbean Cream Limited is building a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) powered plant to power its ice cream making operations in Kingston.

This is being done in collaboration with Power Factor Technologies, a power engineering services company, Caribbean Cream, makers of the Kremi brand disclosed. The two entities are now laying the groundwork for this major project to install a 630-kilowatt capacity Combined Heat & Power (CHP) plant.

This plant will be fuelled by LNG and so will reduce the company’s carbon footprint. The cost of the project is estimated to be just under US$2 million.

While Caribbean Cream will remain connected to the national power grid to ensure sufficient power supply in the event of higher energy demand, the company anticipates greater efficiency and increased market reach.

As the management team navigates the supply chain challenges of this pandemic, Caribbean Cream expects to complete the installation and commissioning of the LNG powered plant before the end of 2021.

It is expected that the plant will lead to reduced operating costs and savings on the company’s energy bill.
