Castle Lite beer to be made using renewable electricity
South African Breweries (SAB) will soon produce its Castle Lite beer using renewable electricity, which will reduce the electricity drawn from the grid and reduce interruptions to production.
Further, SAB is committed to fully switching to renewable energy sources by 2025.
All seven of SAB's breweries make use of some renewables capacity, while the Alrode brewery in Johannesburg also makes use of biogas facilities.
From January to August, SAB generated more than 9.7 GWh of renewable electricity, which also resulted in a reduction of 9 443 t of carbon dioxide emissions since the start of the year.
“We know how important sustainability and our environmental future is for South Africa, but sometimes it feels like such a big task that we cannot do anything to make a difference.
"As a brand that prides itself on innovation, Castle Lite is making the switch to brew with renewable electricity in order to ensure that making a difference is easier,” says Castle Lite brand director Colleen Duvenage.
