LYSANDER, N.Y. — Anheuser-Busch InBev will install a carbon capture and re-use system to capture 75 percent of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from its brewery in the town of Lysander and receive state financial assistance to do it.
The company is one of seven winners sharing more than $14 million for environmental projects though the fourth round of the Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Carbon Challenge, announced Thursday by New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). It’s part of the state’s Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Initiative.
In the project at Anheuser-Busch InBev in Lysander, the captured CO2 will be recycled into the brewing process, eliminating a large portion of the CO2 the brewer would otherwise buy from suppliers, NYSERDA said in a release. “This is a major opportunity for Anheuser-Busch to achieve resilient CO2 supply and advance their goal of carbon neutral brewing,” per the authority.
