Thermal Energy International Inc. has been commissioned by a premium beer producer to deliver a CAD 2.8 million turn-key energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction solution. With this order, the Company has secured energy efficiency projects with more than half of the world's top ten brewers. Thermal Energy has worked closely with this customer to develop a solution that meets the organization's plans to become carbon neutral within its breweries by 2030, and across its entire supply chain by 2050.

This site has a capacity of more than 3 million hectolitres per year and is one of several breweries across Europe this global group operates. One of Thermal Energy's strategic objectives is to focus resources developing relationships with clients whose energy and carbon reduction goals are clearly defined resulting in better engagement and quicker decision making. This project is an example of this; after signing a Project Development Agreement with Thermal Energy earlier this year, this unique proprietary solution was agreed on in record time.

This Turn-key project includes two established products from Thermal Energy's unique portfolio of products; the Flu-Ace® heat recovery system, designed to recover waste energy from the boiler exhausts and use the captured energy to reduce overall steam and fuel consumption onsite, and the GEMTM trap, a premium venturi orifice steam trap designed to minimize ongoing steam trap maintenance and maximise energy savings in the steam system. The food and beverage sector has long benefitted from Thermal Energy's technologies and even more so from the Company's wealth of experience with food and beverage manufacturing processes. The unique FLU-ACE® technology allows for greater heat recovery than any other design, which in a low-grade heat intensive sector such as food and beverage will maximize project carbon reduction and cost savings.

Covering all engineering, manufacturing, installation and training, this $2.8 million project is expected to reduce the site's annual gas load by at least 27% offsetting more than 1,300 tonnes of CO2 per year, the equivalent of permanently removing more than 400 cars from the road. The project is expected to be completed and revenue earned within 12 months.
