About the Project
SUNBREWED aims to decarbonize the brewing industry by integrating concentrated solar thermal technology to generate clean process steam. The project demonstrates how solar heat can effectively support industrial energy needs through an innovative contracting model. This first-of-its-kind initiative showcases how breweries can operate efficiently and sustainably using renewable energy while offering a scalable solution for similar industries.
Project Overview
Countries Involved: Partners from Germany and Greece collaborate for cross-border innovation.
Project Goal
Deliver carbon-free steam to breweries using solar thermal power.
Pilot Site
Athenian Brewery's Patras facility is the first to adopt this technology.
Consortium
Elpedison, Athenian Brewery, and Protarget AG join forces.
CO2 Reduction
The system avoids 2,192 tons of CO2 emissions annually.
Scalability
Designed for replication across breweries, the food industry and beyond.
