The distillery would feature a [carbon-neutral design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tairsgeir) that makes use of geothermal power in order to keep the facility running, while also helping the [rums to mature in casks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropworks-distillers-drops-series). This is done by accurately recreating the temperature and humidity of environments from around the world in order to achieve flavor profiles that might not otherwise be possible. Clifford spoke on the new 'Celsius' Sustainable Distillery Research Centre saying, "This is the most significant milestone our project has achieved and it makes Celsius very real. The concept and principle of the project is now formally established and has the official go ahead to proceed.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Carbon-neutral Distilleries:** Opportunity to explore sustainable and environmentally conscious practices in the spirits industry. - **Geothermal-powered Facilities:** Incorporating renewable resources and planet-friendly power sources in different industries to reduce carbon footprint. - **Customized Flavor Profiles:** Utilizing technology and innovative methods to create unique taste experiences in the distillation process. ### Who This Affects Most - **Distilleries:** Looking to create a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to traditional distillation methods. - **Energy Production:** Innovative means of harvesting renewable energy sources are becoming more mainstream and can be implemented in various sectors. - **Tourism/hospitality:** Carbon-neutral facilities and eco-tourism practices are becoming increasingly more appealing to conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Booze-Branded Eco Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-edden-project.md) - [Next-Gen Rum Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropworks.md) - [Sustainable Alcohol Aging Methods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-trees.md) - [Oceanic Rum Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rum-distilled-at-sea.md) - [State-of-the-Art Gin Distilleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edinburgh-gins-new-distillery.md) - [Eco-Friendly Alcohol Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-spirits-bottle.md) - [Sustainably Crafted Rums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flor-de-cana-rums.md) - [Flagship Spirit Distilleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connecticut-distilling.md) - [Upcycled Grape Distilleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/re-find.md)
