Working for Generations to Come
Rahr’s Shakopee malt houses produce 460,000 metric tons of malt per
year—covering 25% of the US brewing industry’s annual need. Every barley
kernel in Shakopee is malted with clean, renewable energy thanks to Koda Energy.
Owned by Rahr Corporation, Koda Energy replaced the use of natural gas as
a fuel for Rahr’s malt kilns. Everything from thermal power for the malt kilns
to the electrical supply for the office comes from Koda’s biomass-powered
suspension fired boiler (the first of its kind in the US, and only the second
one in the world).
Koda’s suspension fired boiler is fueled by agricultural byproducts, much of
which is waste from the malting process. The boiler produces steam to drive
a turbine, which in turn generates renewable electricity for the malt houses
and kilns. Excess electricity is then metered out to the utility for use by the
public. Koda’s electrostatic precipitator strips ionized soot and smudge from
the burner exhaust, leaving clean vapor venting into the air.
