Groundbreaking steps towards climate neutrality

On September 9, 2021, in Poland, Żyrardów ceremoniously unveiled its biomass boiler house at the Belvedere distillery, known as the producer of the world’s first super premium vodka. This project underlines Belvedere’s commitment to environmental protection and future-oriented energy production.

Belvedere was the first distillery to receive a grant from the National Center for Research and Development for scientific research and development in the energy sector.

The heart of the boiler house is the Schmid biomass combustion system. The Schmid technology, combined with highly efficient power generation equipment and heat recovery from exhaust gases, forms an innovative combined heat and power system that powers Belvedere Vodka’s production processes.

This system enables the company to cover 100 % of its heat and electricity requirements from green sources. It is also possible to feed surplus energy into the public power grid, which contributes to the company’s energy self-sufficiency and climate neutrality.

Thanks to the new plant, Polmos Żyrardów Sp. z o.o. was able to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by an impressive 97 % in 2022 and 2023 compared to 2019. This represents significant progress towards climate-neutral production and shows that Belvedere is aware of its responsibility to protect our environment.

The introduction of the biomass boiler plant is an example of how companies can put their production on a more climate-friendly basis without sacrificing quality and efficiency.
