Brewers Association's reported carbon emissions
As of 2015, the Brewers Association reported significant emissions related to their operations, although specific total emissions figures were not disclosed. The data indicates that natural gas combustion contributes approximately 34.49 lbs CO2 per barrel (bbl) and electricity usage adds about 15.78 lbs CO2 per barrel (bbl). These emissions fall under unspecified scopes, highlighting the need for clearer categorisation in future reports. Currently, the Brewers Association has not established formal reduction targets or commitments through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This absence of defined goals suggests a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. In the broader context of the brewing industry, there is an increasing emphasis on sustainability and carbon footprint reduction. The Brewers Association's commitment to addressing climate change is crucial for aligning with industry standards and meeting consumer expectations for environmentally responsible practices.
