CEO and Co-founder | Two Drifters Distillery Ltd
Innovation in decarbonising our supply chain and processes
Russ is the CEO and Co-Founder of Two Drifters Distillery in Devon, UK a rum distillery producing rum from scratch with a carbon negative footprint. Russ's academic career focused on chemistry research into carbon capture, storage and utilisation and trying to make CO2 have value. It's often hard to visualise CO2 as an issue, it is a colourless gas that has a dramatic effect on the planet's atmosphere but is often overlooked in lots of areas of life, because you can't see an invisible pile of CO2 building up in the sky. Raising awareness of this issue is the passion and mission for Russ and now Two Drifters. At the core of Two Drifters is the constant desire to improve. To strive for perfection in their rums, to constantly search out and implement new or improved sustainable technologies and to inspire others to be more sustainable. Since 2019, Two Drifters Distillery has permanently removed over 35 tonnes of CO2 through Direct Air Capture, avoided creating over 170 tonnes of CO2, increased capacity to over 2,500 bottles of rum a week and achieved B Corp Certification in January 2022. With award-winning rums and a genuine carbon negative footprint, Two Drifters are showing the drinks industry that more can, and must, be done to avoid, reduce and remove CO2.
