Summary
Gas Networks Ireland has partnered with the Malting Company of Ireland and Ahascragh Distillery on a biomethane pilot project aimed at reducing carbon emissions in Irish whiskey production. The initiative focuses on using certified biomethane in barley malting, an energy-intensive process, to lower the carbon footprint of the whiskey supply chain while maintaining existing industrial processes. This pilot demonstrates a practical route to cutting emissions in high-heat food and drink production.
