AB InBev breweries go solar

Half of its 40 plants in China will be powered by green energy by 2020

Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's biggest brewer by production volume, will convert half of its plants in China into solar-powered factories by 2020, to increase the share of non-fossil energy in the country, said a senior executive.

Jean Jereissati, president for the group's operations in the North Asia-Pacific region, said AB InBev plans to secure 100 percent of purchased electricity from renewable sources by 2025.
