What we set out to achieve
What we have achieved to-date
Going Forward
The reduced environmental impact of the economiser is substantial as this
area contributed the biggest chunk of the reduction of our consumption
of thermal energy.
Upgrading of CO
2
Plants
CO ² is a natural product of the fermentation process during the
manufacturing of our products. We recuperate the CO ² from this process
to use in the bottling of our products.
Upgrading our CO ² collection process has minimised the emission of
CO ² and reduced electricity consumption associated with the collection
process. We are now self-sufficient for CO ² supply.
Freon Air-conditioning System
GAB has introduced a new air conditioning system that uses alcohol
water. The medium is chilled with liquefied ammonia via a heat exchange
from the cooling plant process, against the conventional process which
used Freon (R-22, ozone-depletion refrigerant) for air-conditioning. The
new system has no ozone-depletion and no global-warming potential.
The creative system uses our existing resources more efficiently, reduces
our environmental impact, and also drastically reduces air-conditioning
maintenance costs with this initiative, GAB has taken a significant step in
a positive direction towards environmental conservation and we are proud
to be able to play our part as a responsible brewer.
We have successfully implemented the new system at our newly-
renovated Engineering and Packaging offices and will be extending it to
the rest of the Technical offices in the near future.
We will be extending it to the remainder of the
Technical offices in FY11.
