  Sierra Nevada harnesses 'beer power' to reduce its energy costs
To boost the brewery's energy efficiency and ecologically friendly profile, Sierra Nevada founder Ken Grossman sought to convert the ultra-clean fuel cells from operating solely on natural gas to a gas mixture that the brewery produced as a byproduct, methane.
Sierra Nevada installed a compressor and filtration system to purify methane gas that is generated during the brewery's water treatment process, and then feed it to the power plant for fuel.
Sierra Nevada 's installation of ultra-clean onsite power generation has also enhanced the company's reputation of being a good neighbor by helping to reduce demand on the local power grid for the production of its award-winning craft beer.
