ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Making consistent adjustments to improve their environmentally sustainable commitments. The addition of wastewater pretreatment, reduces the organic load in the brewery’s wastewater by 80%. Simultaneously, the sewage is fed to a locally operated gas storage facility, supplying biomethane for the combined heat and power plant to generate green electricity during the brewing process. This brings in a total of 612,00 KW/hr of CO2 neutral electricity, saving upwards of 137 tons of CO2 in the process.
