- Thyssenkrupp Steel, E.ON, and König-Brauerei launched a project using waste heat from steel production to reduce the brewery’s CO2 emissions by 75%.
August 30 2024 11:17:18 UTC– Thyssenkrupp Steel, E.ON, and König-Brauerei have launched an innovative energy project that dramatically reduces the brewery’s carbon footprint.
Waste heat from Thyssenkrupp Steel’s production processes now powers König-Brauerei, cutting its CO2 emissions by up to 75% annually, depending on production levels.
Prost: “wort boiling” just got carbon-neutral
E.ON manages the infrastructure, ensuring efficient energy transfer. The heat is primarily used in the brewing process, especially during wort boiling, where high temperatures are essential. The energy flows through a newly constructed pipeline and is converted into steam, which powers all heat-requiring processes in the brewery, now entirely emission-free.
“independently verified”
The University of Duisburg-Essen has independently verified the environmental benefits of this project. The initiative not only reduces reliance on fossil fuels but also sets a new standard for sustainable industrial partnerships
