Diageo is putting 300 million into a carbon neutral site in Kildare. Interesting to see a major beverage player actually build new low carbon infra instead of just buying offsets.
Carbon neutral at the facility level is one thing, but I wonder about the peak load requirements for a plant this size. Did they include on-site storage or are they relying entirely on the local grid connection?
The term carbon neutral is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. I would like to see the accounting breakdown. Is this based on actual zero emissions or a mix of efficiency and credits?
Exactly. The real win is usually in the industrial heat recovery and boiler electrification. If they nailed the thermal efficiency, that is where the actual value is.
