AstraZeneca inaugurated a new biomethane plant in Lincolnshire, UK, producing biogas from organic waste to supply 100 GWh of renewable energy annually to its UK operations. This initiative aims to power all of AstraZeneca’s UK sites with clean energy by the end of 2025, representing 20% of its global gas consumption. The plant operates without UK government subsidies, aligning with the UK’s decarbonization goals.
