Groundbreaking Ceremony to celebrate the start of works on Toyota’s new Anaerobic Digester at TMUK’s Deeside Engine Plant -        Toyota Deeside holds significant event on journey towards zero carbon -        An AD (Anaerobic Digester) will supply TMUK-D with 100% Biomethane and 100% electricity generated from waste from Q4 2025 -        The biomethane will avoid the emissions of 2,900 tonnes of CO2 per year Deeside, UK – October 8, 2024 – Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK is proud to celebrate the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a state-of-the-art anaerobic digester plant at the Toyota engine manufacturing facility based in Deeside, North Wales (UK) TMUK-D. This pivotal event on Toyota’s journey towards carbon zero, takes place on October 8, 2024, and marks the beginning of a significant project that will enable the Deeside plant to be at the forefront of carbon-zero manufacturing globally. The new waste to energy plant conceived and financed by D SPV, PWC and ABRDN and built by Bio Construct, will be situated next to the Engine Plant and construction will start next month on the £282 million privately funded venture. The waste to energy plant will supply TMUK-D with green electricity directly via an underground cable, replacing the current grid electricity supply. The waste to energy plant will take around 180,000 tonnes of waste each year and convert it to biomethane in a process called anaerobic digestion. This is a natural process where bacteria break down the waste and release biomethane, which is captured, processed and delivered by a pipeline directly to the engine plant. This biomethane will replace the natural gas supply avoiding the emissions of 2,900 tonnes of CO2 each year. As a by-product compost is produced which will be given to local farmers supporting the adoption of a circular economy in the local area. The Deeside facility, known for producing high-quality engines for Toyota vehicles, is set to lead the way in environmental innovation with this project. The new plant will not only allow the facility to stop the use of fossil fuel in its processes but will also serve as a model for sustainable manufacturing practices within Toyota. #toyota #sustainability
