Gundersen Lutheran Health System And City Brewery Form Unusual Partnership

Beer and health care may sound like an odd mix. In one case however, the two have formed an unlikely partnership to get creative with renewable energy. City Brewery in La Crosse, Wisconsin is using all of its biogas byproduct from the brewing process to create three million kilowatt hours per year of electricity by employing a capturing, cleaning and burning process through an engine called a jenbacher. Down the road from the brewery is Gundersen Lutheran Health System which is credited for the electricity produced by City Brewery. (HUFFINGTON POST, 11/16)
