Beer Impact

REDUCE BEER EMISSIONS BY HUNDREDS OF MEGATONS PER YEAR

World’s beer consumption is approaching 2 Trillion liters. That’s almost 4 Trillion pints per year.

If each pint produces 0.3-0.9 kg eq. of CO₂, we are talking about 1.3 billion tons of CO₂ per year, or the equivalent of the emissions of more than 13 times the net emissions of the State of Georgia (emissions less sequestration by forests) or 3.5 times that of the State of California!

 

6x Ultra-high gravity beer reduces emissions from beer by 50%, with the total potential to reduce emissions by 650 million Tons of CO₂ eq. per year.

 

Life Cycle Analysis by Quantis, comparing conventional beer in standard 58 liter steel kegs with 6x ultra-high gravity beer in microkegs in Canadian market showed significant reduction in emissions driven by elimination of keg cleaning and in distribution and at the bar, driven by reduced shipped and stored volume. The CO₂ emission reductions were offset by a small increase of emissions due to microkegs being used only once and recycled. This analysis did not include any benefits associated with reduced refrigeration requirements for ultra-high gravity beer.
