How this Aussie brewery incorporates algae into beer production

Todd · Jul 8, 2020

The Australian brewery Young Henrys is working to fight climate change with an unusual ingredient — algae. The fermentation process that occurs during beer production releases massive amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), which can contribute to climate change. It takes a tree about two days to absorb the CO2 released from producing one six-pack of beer. But Young Henrys says its in-house cultivated algae not only absorbs the CO2 released, it also produces as much oxygen as 2.5 acres of wilderness.

Oscar McMahon, Young Henrys’ co-founder, sees its potential to curb beer production emissions. McMahon told Food Tank, "This is a unique project and the focus is not to profit. It is to create something that we can then share with other people to adapt and use."
