Decarbonising beverage manufacturing: Aston Manor’s CHP transformation

In this workshop at Food Manufacturing Live, TEDOM director Paul Hamblyn and project manager Phil Greenbury, describe how Aston Manor Cider's Tiverton site undertook a pioneering heat decarbonisation project, replacing inefficient kerosene boilers with a hydrogen-ready TEDOM CHP plant. This turnkey solution, combined with modern flash pasteurisation and conversion to low-temperature hot water, delivered a 32% reduction in annual CO2 emissions (1,105 tonnes) and projected energy savings of £1.16 million per year. With a capital investment of £2 million and ROI in under two years, the project also aligned to parent company Agrial's 2035 Climate Plan, supporting group-wide sustainability targets. This initiative demonstrates how engineering innovation can drive rapid, cost-effective decarbonisation in food manufacturing.
