    1.2 Regulatory Drivers

    The EPA Mandatory GHG accounting rule applies to fac ilities from spec ifi c industries that d irec tly emit 25,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equiva lent or more per year. Assuming an average thermal requirement of 1.5 therms per barrel of produc tion and an emission fac tor of 5.29 kg CO2 emitted per therm, an average brewery would produce roughly 125 barrels of beer per metric ton of CO2 emitted. It is unlikely that c raft brewers under approximately 3 million barrels of annual produc tion would be susceptib le to this rule based on their size and operations. Natura lly this threshold would change if the EPA accounting rule limit changed.

  • Case Studies

    Boulevard Brewery insta lled a zone control stra tegy in the Build ing Automation System. This system makes heating and cooling ad justments based on real-time requirements in each zone, while leaving unoccupied, non-c ritica l zones relaxed regard ing their temperature requirements.

    In 2004, Vic tory Brewing Company upgraded their brewhouse with a system that recovers much of the primary energy fueling it. Approximately one-third of the natural gas burned to heat and boil beer is reta ined in the system for heating purposes, enabling them to reduce GHG emissions.

    New Belgium Brewery FortZED

    As part of the FortZED (Zero Energy Distric t) projec t, Fort Collins, Colorado implemented a smart grid component of the c itys Zero Energy Distric t p lan. Fort Collins has begun implementing a smart grid projec t with partners from the Fort ZED consortium. The New Belgium Brewery is one of the test sites. The proposal to implement the smart grid is an $11.2 million projec t with $6 million coming from a Department of Energy grant. Colorado State University will a lso take part in the pilot.

  • Management Tips When Measuring and Accounting For Energy Consumption

    Consider developing meaningful energy performance indicators spec ifi c to your brewerys needs

    Conduc t seminars or awareness sessions for a ll operators to expla in: The energy costs and the means of their

    control The effec t of good housekeeping on driving

    the energy costs down The importance of proper operational

    prac tices Review the ind icators regularly at operations

    management meetings Keep employees informed - communicate the

    results Use the energy cost results in developing and

    reviewing of business p lans, a lternate energy plans and capita l projec ts

    Use the energy cost ind icators as a management tool to improve performance

    2.3 Benchmarking Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

    Sierra Nevada Sustainability Report, Energy Monitoring

    To track energy consumption and generation at the fac ility, we insta lled an energy monitoring system called Green Energy Management Systems (GEMS) that monitors solar output, a ll four fuel cells, purchased elec tric ity, and elec tric ity sold back to the grid during overproduc tion period. Tracking energy produc tion and consumption on a rea l time basis a llows us to identify spikes and d ips in consumption and be better prepared to minimize peak demand charges. In order to expand the benefi ts of monitoring, we plan to start monitoring large load use points within the plant to help with load shedding and shifting during peak hours when elec tric ity is the most expensive.

    We track elec tric ity consumption by kWh consumed per barrel (BBL) of beer produced. One of the road blocks we face in our energy tracking program is that the entire Sierra Nevada campusrestaurant, CO2 recover, waste water treatment fac ility, etc .are all on the same elec tric ity meter, making it very d iffi cult to break out brewing energy consumption. However, in the last four years we have successfully reduced our overall elec tric ity consumption while inc reasing produc tion.

    2.2 Ensuring Accuracy

  • Calculation of Cost Savings

    At 49 kWh/BBL x 22,500 BBLS = 1,102,500 kWh/yr. At average total energy cost of $0.047/kWh the

    total cost = $51,817 Potential savings: $61,970 - $51,817 = $10,153 or 17% of energy yearly cost

    Energy Intensity

    Using examp les in Sec tion 2.1 the following KPI information can be derived :

    The KPI in the example above ranges from 49kWh/ BBL to 72kWh/ BBL. This da ta highlights potentia l savings tha t exist in the b rewerys opera tions.Based on tota l annua l energy cost of $61,970 and an annua l p roduc tion of 22,500 BBLs, the tota l energy cost per barrel is $2.74/ BBL. ($61,970/ 22,500 BBLs = $2.74/ BBL) .

  • Example Scenario

    Based on d isc ussion with opera tions, ma intenanc e and fi nanc e it was determined tha t fi ve separa te energy reduc tion p rojec ts c an be developed and imp lemented resulting in a 2% overa ll energy reduc tion. Opera tions reported tha t through best p rac tic es, emp loyee tra ining and p roc urement c hanges, an add itiona l 1.5% reduc tion in energy c an be ac hieved . Combining the two c ould result in a 3.5% energy savings overa ll.

    Further d iscussion ensues and the team agrees to add 1% to the potentia l saving and establish an overall goal of 4.5% energy reduc tion for the upcoming fi sca l year.

    Ensure that the condensate pumps (if used) are properly sized to the correc t net positive suc tion head (NPSH).

    Consult with the supplier that provided the equipment or with your boiler maintenance technic ians to determine if your condensate pumps are sized properly and are func tioning in a proper manner.

    Failure to size the pump for the proper NPSH will cause the pump to cavita te damaging pump seals and impeller.

    Check the pump to verify that the temperature ra ting for the condensate pump is designed to collec t condensate at a tmospheric saturation temperature of 212 F or 100 C if the pump is not sized to handle these temperatures the pump will fa il to operate properly.
