Carbon Neutrality
Everyone has heard the term carbon neutral. Carbon neutral means that a balance has been created between producing and using carbon. In other words, your carbon dioxide emissions are offset by other activities such as the planting of trees.
There is a three step process - We are at the measuring step.
|
Measure |
Our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions determine our "carbon footprint" |
|
Manage |
Reduce our GHG emissions |
|
Mitigate |
Offset our GHG emissions |
In the winery we reduce CO2 emissions by recycling fermentation produced CO2 to purge empty tanks and we aim to reduce the use of bottled CO2 over our peak period considerably.
We have made several changes to the existing refrigeration capacity resulting in improved efficiencies and reduced power usage.
