It's been proved that Tasmanian barley and hop growers are not only efficient, but only small carbon emitters in the overall production of beer.In response to the growing demand for environmental friendly products, Cascade recently released a 100 per cent carbon offset beer. In order to be certified the company spent 12 months auditing the total emissions in beer production, and then offsetting those emissions by investing in environmental projects around Hobart.Fosters sustainability manager Scott Delzoppo says the comprehensive assessment proves there's not much more expected of hop and barley growers. "The energy intensity in the primary production is a figure that's not that high. In fact I can tell you that, for example, the hops production is less than one percent of the overall emissions impact from the production of Cascade Green."
