AI4Whisky is a collaboration with the Scottish Government, the University of Edinburgh, and ICBD to help whisky distilleries calculate their carbon emissions and receive tailored reduction recommendations. Scotland's whisky industry generated £710 million in added value in 2022, and the sector aims for net-zero emissions by 2040 — but most small and medium distilleries lack the resources for proper carbon footprint assessment.
Key Features
Carbon Footprint Calculator — Input basic production data and AI models the full-chain carbon emissions: raw materials, brewing, distillation, aging, packaging, and transportation.
Hotspot Detection — AI automatically identifies the highest-emission stages in the production process.
Tailored Reduction Advice — Generates customized emission reduction pathways based on each distillery's actual data.
3D Visualization — Interactive Three.js 3D charts for intuitive carbon emission data exploration.
Results
- Collaboration with the Scottish Government, University of Edinburgh, and ICBD
- Targeting a £710M industry (74% of Scotland's food & drink exports)
- Supporting the industry's 2040 net-zero goal
AI4Whisky 与苏格兰政府、爱丁堡大学、ICBD 合作，用 AI 帮威士忌酒厂算碳排放、给减排建议。苏格兰威士忌产业 2022 年为英国创造 £7.1 亿增加值，占苏格兰食品饮料出口的 74%，目标是 2040 年前实现净零排放——但大量中小酒厂缺乏能力做碳足迹评估。
核心功能
碳足迹计算器 — 输入基础生产数据，AI 自动完成全链路碳排放建模：原料→酿造→蒸馏→陈化→包装→运输。
碳热点识别 — AI 自动定位生产流程中排放最高的环节。
定制减排建议 — 根据每家酒厂的实际数据，生成针对性的减排路径。
3D 可视化 — 通过 Three.js 3D 交互图表直观展示碳排放数据。
成果
- 与苏格兰政府、爱丁堡大学、ICBD 合作
- 面向 £7.1 亿产业规模（占苏格兰食饮出口 74%）
- 助力产业 2040 年净零排放目标
