When operational, the move will save up to 11,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year - the same as taking 5,800 cars off the road
Budweiser Brewing Group, in partnership with Protium, has shared plans to cut its carbon emissions by developing a green hydrogen energy production facility at the site.
The new facility would be built next to the brewery, which lies just off the A59 between Preston and Blackburn. The facility would cover an area similar in size to one and a half full-size football pitches. Chris Jackson, CEO of Protium, added: “Samlesbury Net Zero is an investment in our environment, community, economy and our future. We’re thrilled to announce our intentions to deliver this major investment into green hydrogen energy in Lancashire.
Samlesbury brewery produces some of the nation’s most recognised beers including Budweiser, Stella Artois and Corona and employs around 350 people.
