British brewers encouraged to tap into electric storage boilers to decarbonise operations

British brewers could cut their carbon footprint using a new type of electric storage boiler. The patented technology, developed by British start-up Caldera, can generate process heat or steam for brewing without the use of carbon-emitting gas or oil.

Caldera storage boilers use a solid material which is heated up using surplus energy from wind farms and on-site renewables such as solar PV. This energy is then stored with very high efficiency and released when required as high-pressure steam.
