Bacardi have installed 2 wind turbines at their factory in Puerto Rico according to a report by BerNews this week.
The two 250 kW wind turbines owned by Aspenall Energies are expected to provide 7 percent of the Bacardi distillery’s needs and offset over 900 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
Joaquin Bacardi, President of Cataño-based Bacardi Corporation said:
“We’re always looking for ways to help the environment and reduce our carbon footprint. Our latest innovation with these two specialized wind turbines seizes the power of the wind adding more force to Bacardi’s overall environmental commitment to save energy“.

Although I commend bacardi for developing sustainable energy sources, just because carbon emissions are ‘offset’ this doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Why not just switch to entirely sustainable energy sources?
