Our scientists pursue tomorrow’s zero carbon solutions

Post-doctoral researchers at the Carlsberg Research Laboratory are using next-generation technology to bring us a step closer to a ZERO carbon future.

In 2020, the talented members of our Young Scientists Community created a ‘digital twin’ brewery in close collaboration with colleagues from ISC and Baltika in Russia. This unique virtual tool will enable us to simulate new ideas, brewing techniques and energy-saving solutions at our breweries without disrupting current production. The scientists are already trialling interventions that could help our brewery in Ukraine cut energy use by up to 15%.

They are also evaluating early stage technologies with the potential to save energy and carbon at our breweries globally, including solar assisted brewing, heat pump integration and energy from spent grain.
