Provincial & Federal Governments Invest in Energy Project at Labatt Brewery

Both the Provincial and Federal Governments have announced cost-shared funding of $500,000 for an efficiency and fuel switching project for Labatt Brewing Company in St. John’s.

Once completed, the project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 528 tonnes per year.

The funding will be used to replace a diesel boiler with two high-efficiency propane boilers. The new boilers will produce high-pressure steam for production purposes at the brewery.

The company is receiving $250,000 each from the Provincial and Federal Governments with Labatt also contributing $500,000.
