In response to the question “Please state the MWh of electricity purchased and consumed by your company globally.” and “Please state the percentage of purchased and consumed MWh of electricity from renewables globally.” (Carbon Disclosure Project) Anheuser-Busch responded:

“Information regarding energy use is considered confidential in that it provides content of competitive interest.We have begun to integrate data from our China operations and will report those emissions in the future.”

Through a number of different initiatives Anheuser-Busch is in position to achieve their 2010 goal of obtaining 15 percent of their total fuel use companywide from renewable sources (compared to their current level of 8 percent obtained from renewable sources.)

Initiatives Include:

• Deriving renewable energy from wastewater. Anheuser-Busch is the world’s largets user of BERS , an anaerobic method for processing brewing-related wastewater and capturing the resulting biogras (methane).

• Home-grown fuel. Anheuser-Busch’s commitment to renewable fuel sources extends into the research sector. Their land application sites located in Fort Collins, Colorado, and Jacksonville, Florida, are in the process of setting up test plots. At the Fort Collins sit, Colorado State University researchers wil plant canola and camelina to determine their efficiency as potential fuel crops. Researchers from the University of Florida are conducting similar studies at their brewery in northern Florida for cellulosic ehtanol production from native grasses.
