Heineken will have the biggest eco-brewery of the United Kingdom
Heineken will become the first producer of beer, among the biggest brands, of the United Kingdom to implement a solar roof on one of its main factories in North Yorkshire.Thus, the John Smith's Brewery in Tadcaster, which yields to Heineken, will go on to have 4,000 solar panels on your roof of zinc, which are expected to generate more than 876 megawatts of electricity per year. The energy will be used to feed the departments of bottling and canning factory."When arranged side by side, the panels cover an area equivalent to five Olympic swimming pools. We are very proud that Tadcaster is the site chosen for the implementation of the largest solar installation of any brewery of the United Kingdom, "said factory manager, Martin Kochl, to Edie."Implement the power we need to produce our beers and cider from renewable sources like solar energy helps us to reduce the environmental impact of our business and is an essential part of our sustainability program," adds the Manager.The 876 megawatts of energy produced annually are equivalent to about 5% of the total electricity consumption of the plant. Additionally, other 10% will come from energy of a biogas plant in the region of the factory.Already last year, Heineken has implemented a similar project in one of its factories in the Netherlands.Foto: Photo Mojo Mike / Creative Commons
