Future Biogas and AstraZeneca launch UK’s first unsubsidized biomethane plant
In the UK, Future Biogas and AstraZeneca recently announced that the UK’s first unsubsidized biomethane plant dedicated to fuelling the life sciences sector is operational. Located in Gonerby Moor, Lincolnshire, the plant will provide clean heat for all of AstraZeneca’s R&D and manufacturing in the UK, supporting sustainable production of medicines.
The Moor Bioenergy plant in Lincolnshire will supply 100 GWh of renewable energy annually to AstraZeneca UK, equivalent to 20% of the Company’s total global gas consumption, displacing approximately 18,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions per year from fossil gas.
The plant, which will operate 24/7, will generate enough biomethane to heat the equivalent of over 8,000 homes a year and boost the UK’s green energy capacity. This is another step towards the Company’s ambition to creating a cleaner, more sustainable future for people, society and the planet.
