Environmentally 'Green' Beer: Munich Brewing Engineers Research Energy Savings

Wednesday, September 9, 2009 - 20:21 in Physics & Chemistry

Brewing engineers in Germany are investigating a new process combination that could enable beer makers to cut their energy consumption by as much as 20 percent. They propose a new production chain linking combined heat and power stations, which so far have proven unsuitable for breweries, with a thermo-chemical zeolite heat storage system. They further plan to model the energy balance of an entire brewery to realize savings from the cleaning system through the bottling plant.
