Heineken UK is to invest £25m in its landmark brewery in Manchester in a major project to reduce its carbon emissions.
The plant produces more than 700 million pints of Heineken, Birra Moretti and Foster's every year and is to significantly reduce its reliance on gas.
The beer giant said that would be achieved through installing heat pumps which are powered by renewably-sourced electricity.

The electricity is to be retrieved and distributed through an interconnected heat network throughout the site with waste heat distributed from the brewing process to replace the thermal energy previously generated from burning fossil fuels.
Boudewijn Haarsma, managing director at Heineken UK, said: "We’ve been around for 150 years and if we want to be here in another 150 years, we need to act now to deliver on our sustainability ambitions. In short, we want to brew a better world.
"This announcement is hugely positive and represents a sizeable inward investment from Heineken into UK decarbonisation.
"It builds on our wider efforts company-wide to reduce our emissions as we continue to work towards our global ambitions to reach net zero across our production sites by 2030, and to operate a net zero value chain by 2040.
"There’s been a brewery at this site for well over 100 years, and we’ve been proudly brewing in Manchester for 15 years.
"With the city of Manchester’s ambition to reach net zero by 2038, we want to play our part in this journey for the city and its people, and to share the learnings we gather along the way."
Heineken UK's investment in the plant has been supported by actors Kym Marsh and Craig Cash.
