About Blue Terra

• BlueTerra Energy Experts is an independent energy consultancy.
• This organization has also performed the validation of 100% renewable energy for Heineken® in the Netherlands.

About the mass allocation method

• The validation of 100% renewable energy for Heineken® in Vietnam is based on an assessment through the mass allocation method – a globally used auditing approach.   
• Recognized by the European Union, the mass allocation method is an official auditing approach used in the Renewable Energy Directive and the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Protocol to calculate emissions levels.
• The validation in Vietnam has been performed by Blue Terra Energy Experts, an independent energy consultancy that has also performed the validation of 100% renewable energy for Heineken® in the Netherlands.
• Currently, HEINEKEN Vietnam’s total share of renewable energy used in production stands at 96%. This amount has exceeded the necessary share of renewable energy needed to produce all Heineken® products. 
• This is an important premise for Blue Terra to endorse that Heineken® is being brewed with 100% renewable energy in Vietnam. 

About EACs

• Currently, 100% of the electrical demand for Heineken® production in Vietnam is covered by Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) sourced from Phu Yen & Bang Duong solar projects in Vietnam. 
• Towards the future, HEINEKEN Vietnam is also exploring some bolder renewable electricity solutions, including Direct Power Purchase Agreement (DPPA) and rooftop solar installment.
