“We have been investing for several years to rethink the value chain and make it sustainable and this innovation is part of that commitment. Since coffee trees do not grow in cold regions like ours, it is inevitable that the harvest coffee beans are transported over long distances,” states Serge Picard, proprietor of Caf éWilliam “Our investment in this innovative project will allow us to considerably reduce our carbon footprint and, along with our other projects, to eventually produce a zero-emission coffee, a first in the coffee world,” endsMr Picard.

Caf é William is reconsidering the future of coffee manufacturing at every phase of its production. Maritime transportation becomes part of an essential phase of manufacturing and also is a significant resource of contamination. Industry- typical freight ships browse as a result of the exploitation of nonrenewable fuel sources that add substantially to worldwide warming. The financial investment in the building of a wind-powered cruising freight ship, which is zero-emission, is an enthusiastic option that is presently unfinished and also will certainly be functional in 2023.
