Thermal Energy International has tapped one of its frothiest emerging markets – brewers – for a new seven-figure contract.
The Ottawa-based cleantech company says it has signed a deal valued at more than $1 million with a “prominent multinational” beer producer to install one of its patented heat recovery systems at a North American plant.
Thermal’s technology will recover heat from the brewery’s boilers. The energy will then be used to reheat water for other purposes – a process that’s expected to save up to eight million litres of water a year as well as significantly reduce the plant’s carbon dioxide emissions.
