As part of its ‘Knowledge Still’ programme the Irish Whiskey Association in partnership with The Institute of Brewing and Distilling - Irish Section, will hold a hybrid workshop focusing on Decarbonising Energy Supply for Irish distilleries and Breweries.

Over the last number of years, Irish distilleries and breweries have greatly improved their performance in terms of Energy Efficiency with a consequent reduction in Energy Consumption and associated Carbon Footprint.

Energy Supply also has a major impact on the Carbon Footprint of Irish Distilleries and Breweries, and their products, both in terms of Scope 1 Emissions (Fuel Combusted on-site and Fuel Used in Company Owned Vehicles) and Scope 2 Emissions (Purchased Electricity and/or Heating/Cooling).

This seminar looks at what the future holds for Energy Supply in Ireland from a Carbon Point of View and will give Distilleries and Breweries an overview of currently available solutions.

This will be a hybrid meeting meaning it will be possible for members to attend in person or dial in via MS Teams.

If you would like to attend this workshop please register your interest by using the book now button at the top of the page at this link. When registering to attend please indicate if you intend to attend in person or dial in.
