Brew Smarter. Brew Greener.
BrewAI is a research project from Anglia Ruskin University, developing practical carbon and energy intelligence for beverage producers. We work directly with breweries to cut emissions, reduce costs, and build knowledge across the industry.

About BrewAI
BrewAI is a research project developed at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), in collaboration with EIT Food and supported by Innovate UK ICURe. Working directly with breweries and beverage producers, we are building practical tools to measure, understand, and reduce the carbon footprint of production — at every scale.
Consumers care
Sustainability is shifting from “nice to have” to a buying signal.
Regulation tightens
Carbon disclosure pressure is moving down supply chains.
Costs stay volatile
Energy price swings make planning—and proof—more important than ever.
BrewAI™ is our attempt to make low-carbon brewing practical at every scale. We capture production-linked energy data, translate it into clear carbon insight, and then use analytics and AI to surface opportunities to reduce emissions and cost.
Read the longer story
This is a university-led research project with real-world impact. Led by Anglia Ruskin University and backed by Innovate UK ICURe and EIT Food, BrewAI is building an intelligent network of beverage producers of all sizes — collecting real-time energy and carbon data, spotting patterns across equipment, process steps, seasons and tariffs, and turning those patterns into practical decisions.
From measurement to action: our platform helps producers track emissions in near real-time, forecast cleaner production timing, and evaluate whether interventions actually worked — using academic rigour rather than assumptions.
Privacy is core, not an afterthought. Breweries remain in control of their data. Benchmarking is designed to be secure so participants can learn from the network without exposing commercially sensitive detail.
We are iterating directly with producers. As an active research project, we invite beverage makers to help shape what “useful” means in practice — your involvement directly informs the research.

A university research project
BrewAI is developed at Anglia Ruskin University and backed by Innovate UK ICURe and EIT Food. Our research is built around privacy-first data capture, clear consent, and secure benchmarking — so breweries can collaborate and learn from the network without exposing commercially sensitive data.
