New Belgium Brewing: Implements it’s first transition to using propane as a natural refrigerant

Check out these photos of our NEW Elite 290 propane chiller now installed on site at New Belgium. Our Director of R&D Paul Johnson is in chilly Fort Collins, Colorado making sure everything is up and running for our customers at New Belgium.

Andy Collins, New Belgium’s Carbon Neutral Engineer, helped the brewery research and implement its first transition to using propane as a natural refrigerant to help achieve the company’s goal to certify all brands as Carbon Neutral by 2030 and deliver on New Belgium’s climate action plan validated by the Science Based Target initiative.

“We’re really happy to work with a partner like G&D Chillers who was willing to build a propane-based chiller with low-to-no GWP and help us significantly reduce the amount of HFCs used in our refrigeration systems,” said Collins. “We’re excited to implement G&D’s new Elite 290 chilling technology and continue our progress toward our goal to become carbon neutral by 2030.”  

“We are proud to be leading the way to bring propane technology to the U.S. market, marking a significant milestone in the adoption of propane in North America. Our Elite 290 series is not just a chiller… it’s a statement. And it’s a commitment to a greener, more efficient future for our customers and our industry,” said Justin Thomas, president of G&D Chillers.
