Work starts on £65m whisky waste energy plant
Imagine if San Miguel Phils. tried this too.
Quote:Construction work is underway at a Scottish bioenergy plant that will convert waste from the whisky-making process into energy.
The £65m project at Fife's Cameronbridge Distillery will use spent wash - a mix of wheat, malted barley, yeast and water - to meet the plant's energy needs.
It is expected that once up and running the plant will allow the distillery to cut its use of fossil fuels to just 5% of their current levels.
The plant is being built by drinks multinational Diageo in partnership with energy management company Dalkia.
Diageo produces many well-known whisky brands including Johnnie Walker, Bells and Talisker.
Imagine if San Miguel Phils. tried this too.
