Miller Brewing Company (MB), in pursuit of aggressive environmental responsibility goals, continuously strives to reduce both
energy consumption and waste generation. At MB’s Irwindale, California, brewery, EPS and MB identified an opportunity
to achieve both of the above by building an anaerobic digester, which uses waste beer to generate biogas, and installing a
biogas-driven cogeneration plant, which generates electricity and heat to be used in the brewery. MB intended to implement
this project provided the return on investment, flexibility and avoidance of emissions offered were sufficiently compelling.
