About this talk

This webinar will discuss real-life experiences on how to decarbonize the process of brewing beer. Industry experts from Futraheat and Hepworth & Co. Brewers will share their knowledge about their journey towards sustainable beermaking, and the decision to shift from using a conventional fossil-fuel boiler to a new high-temperature heat pump, powered by Honeywell Solstice® zd. With a plan to reduce its carbon footprint by 85% over five years, UK-based Hepworth & Co. Brewers asked Futraheat to replace a longstanding oil-fired boiler that, while critical to the beermaking process, produced the majority of its site emissions. Futraheat’s solution? A state-of-the-art, heat pump-based system propelled by ultra-low GWP Honeywell Solstice zd (R-1233zd) refrigerant. The Solstice zd-powered heat pump system will enable Hepworth & Co. to meet scope 1 and 2 emissions targets safely and efficiently while significantly reducing energy and operating costs. Moreover, the high-temperature heat pump will serve as best practice for the wider beermaking industry to follow.

The environment is top of mind. Choosing the right technologies now can have a positive impact for decades to come. Discover how Honeywell’s commitment to sustainability and resolve to use the latest science and technology is helping the world decarbonise with Solstice® HFO Refrigerants. Explore the interactive graphic below to learn how Solstice can be used in a wide range of heating and cooling applications. Honeywell believes in solutions that balance environmental protection with economics. Our low-global-warming-potential (GWP) Solstice® hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) refrigerants leverage USD$1 billion of R&D investment and a 117-year track record of innovation to help the heating and cooling industry transition to a low carbon future in a cost-effective manner, without compromising system performance. To date, Solstice refrigerants have helped avoid the potential release of the equivalent of more than 326 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, equal to the annual carbon emissions of nearly 70 million gasoline-powered passenger vehicles.
