Bruichladdich Distillery has secured £2.65m of funding from the Green Distilleries Competition to decarbonise their distillation process by 2025. The funding, from the Department of Business, Energy & Industrial strategy Net Zero Innovation Portfolio, will allow Bruichladdich and their energy partner Protium to install innovation hydrogen combustion technology to heat the stills, removing a major contributor to the distillery’s overall carbon emissions.
We supported Protium in their successful bid for funding and are proud to part of this innovative project that will pioneer sustainable green hydrogen energy technology.
The pilot project will demonstrate the ability to switch from fuel oil to sustainable hydrogen energy technology. The technology operates with zero greenhouse gas emissions and is an example for distilleries across the global to follow suit in reducing their carbon footprint. Dubbed HyLaddie, the project has to navigate the installation of this state-of-the-art technology within a fully operational Victorian distillery on the island of Islay, just off Scotland’s west coast. A sustainable solution for the island’s remote location and infrastructure challenges, the heating technology has the potential to be integrated beyond distilling and into residential spaces, local government buildings, schools, hospitals, and beyond.
This project marks the inaugural deployment of Dynamic Combustion Chamber™ (DCC™) in the UK. The revolutionary technology is the only zero-emission, closed loop boiler that generates high temperature steam, using oxygen and hydrogen that is reacted in a vacuum. The DCC™ does not require a smokestack or any other energy dissipating exhaust, eliminating any emissions of CO2, NOx and SOx. The only by-product of the reaction is water that can be recycled.
At WW+P we are committed to creating sustainable places for people and becoming Carbon Neutral across our global business. We have made significant efforts to reduce the environmental impact of our Studios’ over the last few years, and work with project partners who are committed to delivering innovative projects that push sustainable design forward.
