Diageo commits investment to decarbonise Dublin brewery

Diageo has unveiled plans to invest more than €100m into decarbonising its St. James’s Gate site in Dublin. The investment aims to make it one of the most environmentally efficient breweries worldwide by 2030.

By 2030, the brewery will implement a renewable energy strategy, utilising grid-supplied electrical power, heat pumps and biogas generated within a new water recovery facility. This facility is also anticipated to reduce water consumption for Guinness brewing by 30 percent.

Diageo is currently preparing a planning application for the decarbonisation project, which will be submitted to Dublin City Council later this year. Prior to submission, the company plans to engage with local communities and representatives to ensure transparency and inclusivity in the decision-making process.
