2020 Australian Wine: Winning the long game videos - Session 3
The wine industry is a small player with regard to its role as a greenhouse gas (GHG) emitter. However, it’s important to understand the sources, quantum and opportunities to reduce our emissions, along with our impacts on climate change and the importance of climate change in our overall sustainability strategy. This session will provide an update on our GHG emissions footprint, the simple and innovative ways in which vineyards and wineries are reducing emissions, the business case for emissions mitigation and an exploration of CO2 capture in brewing.
