Renewables
Future Fuels, our renewable energy project, will fund the building of a £160 million bioethanol plant in Grimsby, North East England. On completion, the plant will produce 200 million litres of sustainable ethanol each year, delivering carbon savings of over 60% when compared to traditional fossil fuels. Through its bio-refining process, the plant will also produce 175,000 tonnes of high-protein animal feed and liquefied CO2 for use in carbonated drinks.
This is a proudly British project, using British wheat (which is only suitable for animal consumption) in meeting UK renewable energy targets.
