Ron Barcelo Rum Reaches Carbon Neutral Environmental Status

World’s Top Imported Dark Rum Earns Status From Bilan Carbone License

Not only is Ron Barceló good to drink, it’s also good for the environment.

The high-quality Dominican Republic rum has become the  first rum in the world to reach the carbon neutral status based on the Bilan Carbone® License.

Not just a rum, all products and byproducts in the spirit’s creation are used towards creating something new:

• 100% of the energy their production plant uses is generated through the biomass cogeneration boiler, which allows the distillery to be self-sustaining!
• Bagasse – a residual by-product obtained in the grinding phase – is turned to vapor, which turns the turbines and generates electricity used in the factories
• The Co2 resulting from the fermentation phase of the sugar cane juice is recovered through a third party and marketed to companies in the soft drink segment
• The Vinasse, obtained in the first phase of distillation, is a liquid by-product composed of organic matter, yeast, non-fermentable sugars, proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, ashes and others, which will be used in the fertigation of the fields, after a treatment of temperature and acidity

Ron Barceló is the world’s #1 exported dark rum and the only rum from the Dominican Republic distilled directly from the juice of fresh cut, estate grown sugar cane (and not from molasses).

Cheers!
