UK government funds $101.75M for 29 energy transition projects

July 4, 2023 |

In the UK, from hydrogen-powered cornflake production to low carbon Scottish whisky distillation, businesses across the UK have received a share of over £80 million government funding to ditch costly fossil fuels for cleaner alternatives

Breakfast giant Kellogg’s is among 29 successful projects to change their production processes to cut their emissions. The company plans to use hydrogen to fuel their cereal making process in Manchester, backed by over £3 million government investment.  

Meanwhile one of Scotland’s oldest whisky makers, Annandale Distillery, will also take a step towards a new low carbon future, with a £3.6 million government investment in new thermal heating technology. This will see the distillery work with Exergy3 Ltd to develop a system that stores energy from electricity in special ceramic bricks, to then produce heating gas that could fully decarbonise the whisky-making process.
