In April 2024, HyClyde Auchentoshan applied for Government funding through the Hydrogen Allocation Round 2 (HAR2) decarbonisation fund, managed by the Department of Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ). Unfortunately, HyClyde Auchentoshan was unsuccessful in its application to secure HAR2 funding, and as a result, the project will be discontinued.
Whilst Suntory Global Spirits and Marubeni are disappointed in this outcome, we would like to thank our local community again for their input and feedback during our community consultation events, as well as members of the Community Councils and West Dunbartonshire Council.
Looking to the future, Suntory Global Spirits remains firmly committed to its Proof Positive ambitions, including its aim to achieve Net Zero carbon emissions throughout its value chain by 2040, and Marubeni is exploring the opportunity to contribute to the decarbonisation of local industry and transport, supporting the UK’s net zero ambitions and fostering innovation in renewable energy.
