Brewery Energy Management
Significant amounts of fossil fuels, electricity, and water are used throughout the
brewing process. According to a US EPA Energy Star report,
"energy expenditures account for roughly 3-8% of total production costs".
Brewing plant improvements that reduce utility consumption offer an effective
method of increasing overall profitability.
