  2. Brewery Sustainability Improvement Agenda • Corporate Goals/Leadership • Brewery Processes • Brewery Utilities • Opportunities • Waste to Landfill • Culture

  3. Corporate Sustainability Goals • Energy Usage of 120 MJ/HL by 2015 • Electricity • Steam • Vehicle Fuel • Water Usage of 3.18 HL/HL by 2012 • Zero Waste to Landfill by 2015 • CO2 Self-Sufficiency of 85% by 2015 • 50% Reduction in Green House Gas by 2020 • Why Sustainability? • Customer Demand • Continue our Business • Save Money • Marketing • Responsibility for Future Generations!

  4. Brewery Process Overview Malting Brewing Fermenting Conditioning Packaging Warehousing

  5. Golden Brewery Map

  6. Golden Brewery Layout Aging Cellars, Hop Storage Power Still YDP Fermenting Turbine Brewing Conditioning Packaging/Warehouse/Gov. Cellar Malting/Kilns

  7. Brewing Process • Mash In • Filter/Lauter • Boil Wort • Chill • Ferment

  8. Fermenting • Yeast + Wort = Beer • Maintain Temperature • Residence Time • CO2 • Yeast • To Aging

  9. Conditioning • Aging • Filter • Blend • To Packaging

  10. Packaging • Bottles, Cans and Kegs • Rinse • Fill • Label • Package • Palletize • To Warehouse

  11. Warehouse • Store Product • Move Product • Temperature • Docks

  12. Utilities for Brewery Operations • Ammonia • Steam • Electricity • Plant Air • Steam • Electricity • Water Treatment • Electricity • Wastewater Treatment • Electricity • CO2 Recovery • Electricity • Power Plant – Co-Generation • Coal and Natural Gas Fired Boilers • 800 LB Steam • Electricity • 400 LB Steam • 50 LB Steam

  13. Utilities – Map of Valley

  14. Utilities – Where does the Steam Go?

  15. Resource Savings Opportunities Steam

  16. Steam Savings Opportunities • “Low Hanging Fruit” • Leaks • Traps • Control Valves • Pressure Relief Valves • Process Optimization/Team Work • Compression Equipment Operation • Problem Solving • Metering - Short-Interval Control • Set Points • CIP Times • Quality/Efficiency • Projects • HVAC • Plant Air • Refrigeration • Brew Kettles

  17. Plant Air Opportunities • Leaks • Operations • Compression Equipment • Set Points • Small Projects • Cabinet Cooling/Pressure • Air Shut-Off on Equipment not Operating • Low Pressure Uses • Condensate Drains • Pneumatic Valves and Equipment • Large Projects • Decentralization • Distribution Headers

  18. Condensate • Return Benefits • Cost • Energy • Waste Treatment • Water Treatment • Where is it Going? • Sewer • Stack • Steam Leaks

  19. Utilities – Where does the Electricity Go?

  20. Resource Savings Opportunities Electricity

  21. Culture • Lights • Office Equipment • Phantom Energy • Process Optimization/Team Work • Metering/Short Interval Control • CIP Times • Pump Control • Hard Shut-Downs • Operating Strategy • Water Usage • Quality/Efficiency • Projects • Lights • Pump VFD’s • Controls • Equipment Right-Sizing • Facilities • Lights • HVAC • Insulation Electricity Savings Opportunities No! Yes!

  22. Electricity Savings Opportunities Malting Lights Results

  23. Electricity Savings Opportunities BOC HVAC Recommissioning Results

  24. Electricity Savings Opportunities Packaging Green Shut-Down

  25. Utilities – Where Does the Water Go?

  26. Resource Savings Opportunities Water and Wastewater

  27. Savings Opportunities – Water and Wastewater Save Water = Save Energy! • “Low Hanging Fruit” • Leaks • Controls • Nozzles • Team Work/Process Optimization • Problem Solving • Broom Not Hose • CIP Times • Cleaning Machines • Dry Lube • Seal Water • Quality/Efficiency • Projects • Re-Use • Once-Through Cooling Water • Empty Can Rinse Water • Reject Can Conveyance

  28. Waste to Landfill • Currently ReUse or Recycle >98% of Total Waste • Spent Grain • Yeast • Ethanol Still • Glass • Cans • Single Stream • Industrial (Paper, Cardboard, Stretch Wrap, Metal) • Still, 100 Ton/Month to Landfill (2010) • Goal – Zero Waste in 3 years (or pretty close) • Sort, Label, Color Code • Optimize Collection • Source Reduction

  29. Co-Products Golden Brewery Bill Coors: “Waste is Just a Resource Out of Place” • Yeast – 12 MM LBS/year • Fuel Grade Ethanol – 2.5 MM gal/year • Spent Grain – 400 MM LBS/year • All sold locally • Grain Dust • Malting • Malt Storage • Grain Load-Out • Brew House

  30. YOU’RE INVITED TO • HELP US MAKE AN IMPACT! • As a first step to make the Golden Brewery • “The Largest Zero-Waste-to-Landfill Brewery in the World”, • we need your help to: • sort recyclables from the trash created at the brewery • paint examples of our new standardized color-coding system of lugers/dumpsters • draw up facts about trash and recycling at our brewery to create a great display • RSVP on the Volunteer Website (https://www.millercoorsvolunteers.com) What:  Operation Zero Waste CARE & Volunteer Event When:  Thursday, Sept. 15th  Sorting: 7am – 8:30am 8:30 am – 10am Visit and learn: 1pm – 4pm Where:  Pavilion at Investment Recovery What to bring: Pants, long sleeved shirt, PPE (bump-cap, steel-toes, safety-vest, and Kevlar gloves) Pavilion at Investment Recovery Employee Sales / Beer Trailer
