Heineken, the well-known beer brand, partnered with ENGIE to build the largest solar thermal plant in Europe. Located in sunny Seville, Spain, the state-of-the-art facility has an impressive capacity of 30 MW and storage of 68 MWh, occupying an area of 8 hectares.

With the power of the sun as its main ally, the plant has the potential to reduce Heineken’s fossil gas consumption by more than 60%. This is equivalent to eliminating nearly 7,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year. The initiative puts into practice the company’s sustainability principles, which aim to minimize its carbon footprint.

Renewable Energy in Beer Manufacturing and Investment

The plant operates using renewable energy, completely emission-free, used to heat and cool water in a closed circuit. The goal of Heineken is that by the end of 2024, its brewery in Seville will be powered by 84% renewable energy, both electrical and thermal.

The company invested €21 million in the project, which was also co-financed with funds from the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund). In addition to contributing to a more sustainable future, the investment is part of a Thermal Purchase Agreement that ensures a stable supply of renewable energy, making the project economically viable.
