Sustainability
At Severn Valley Ales, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and being as sustainable as we can be!
​
That's why, we are now brewing all of our beers with 100% renewable energy and reducing our carbon dioxide usage. We have installed enough solar panels, a wind turbine and battery storage to brew up to twice weekly, using ZERO grid energy.
​
We have converted our Hot Liquor Tank (HLT) to run on a propane burner as propane provides much more heat per kg of gas than electricity and has a much lower conversion factor than other fuels.
​
Annually, we will offset our carbon from the propane using the Woodland Trust Carbon Offsetting Scheme and we will publish our tCO2e (carbon footprint) and what we have done to reduce it.
​
Our aim is to become the first brewery in Shropshire that is Carbon Net Zero!
