AstraZeneca and Future Biogas Launch UK's First Subsidy-Free Biomethane Plant
AstraZeneca and Future Biogas have launched the UK's first subsidy-free biomethane plant, the Moor Bioenergy facility in Lincolnshire, which will produce 100 GWh of renewable energy annually, meeting 20% of AstraZeneca UK's gas needs. The plant, equipped with carbon capture technology, will provide clean heat for the company's R&D and manufacturing, while sourcing raw materials from local farms under sustainable contracts. It is expected to generate enough biomethane to heat over 8,000 homes each year.
