According to information from the website of Absolicon, Absolicon and PepsiCo signed an agreement in 2022 to start a feasibility study on how to integrate solar thermal energy in three PepsiCo plants in South Africa.

From the autumn of 2022, PepsiCo will explore how to integrate Absolicon solar heat into food and beverage processing in three plants in South Africa. The research will be conducted by Absolicon together with the local production partner GreenLine Africa.
Pepsi Cola products are sold in more than 200 countries around the world, including food and beverage brands such as Leshi, Doritos, Gatorade and Pepsi Cola. PepsiCo's sustainable development strategy is aimed at each stage of the company's complex value chain to use resources more effectively and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Absolicon T160 patented technology, with an operational temperature of up to 160°C heat and 8 bar steam, matches the thermal energy demand of the food and beverage processing in the PepsiCo plants, and the study ordered from Absolicon is performed to calculate the positive impacts of implementing Absolicon solar heat to the local PepsiCo production .
