Arbor Brewing Company (ABC) and Corner Brewery have adopted solar and geothermal energies at their breweries to save costs and help the environment.
Corner Brewery, under a $250,000 Green Brewery Project, will produce beer powered by solar and geothermal energies.
To celebrate the beginning of the operation, the brewery will host an event on 29 August 2012, reported The Ypsilanti Courier.
Corner Brewery's sustainable energy system features 18kW electric and 64.8kW thermal rating, climate-controlled 2,200ft? warehouse with a radiant temperature controlled system running under the floor, 300 solar thermal and photovoltaic solar panels on the roof that are used to heat water and provide electricity, two tankless water heaters, solar awning, new energy-efficient windows and a glycol chiller system that cools the fermentation tanks.
It is estimated that the project will provide around 90% of the brewery's hot water needs and around 15% of electricity.
Arbor Brewing Company's (ABC) sustainable energy system, which was started on 11 June 2012, features 2.4kW solar photovoltaic array, 300 solar thermal collector tubes and a tankless water heater system.
ABC owner Matt Greff told the website that it feels really good to know that they are able to make changes that are good for the environment as they are for the bottom line.
"We couldn't have done it without the expertise and assistance we received from our many partners and we hope to be able to assist other small businesses interested in improving their energy efficiency," Greff added.
