Project Decal – Decarbonised production of alcohol-based products through application of advanced technologies and manufacturing processes.

据估计，英国烈性酒行业的价值约为。GB 101.16亿GB 2020年生产3.03亿升产品(来源：Statista)。预计这一数字将达到约。GB 139.22亿到2023年生产3.48亿升。据估计，该部门的Gin部分约为600万美元。GB 2700米，约其中30%用于出口(WSTA，2019年)。根据Kantar的市场调查，杜松子酒一直是西欧最受欢迎的烈性酒类别，并已超过威士忌成为最受欢迎的烈性酒。此外，据估计，英国酒类行业雇用了大约30%的人。800-90万个工作岗位，大约直接受雇于生产的30,000人(来源：酒精研究所)。烈酒行业直接雇佣了186,000人，并通过英国的供应链雇佣了110,000人(WSTA，2019年)。英国烈酒行业显然是旅游和酒店业的重要组成部分，占英国食品和饮料出口的20%以上，以及全国470家酿酒厂(自2015年以来增长了一倍多)。该项目将使Alcohols Ltd为英国努力成为全球领导者，开发和实现可持续的杜松子酒和饮用烈酒生产方法。通过提高效率和缩短周期，酒精有限公司还将提高产能，使英国能够进入不断增长的全球市场。饮料业和下游特种酒精客户都更加重视可持续供应链和可持续采购，特别是在酒精有出口足迹的欧洲。该项目将建立在已经很强的产品质量和服务标准的基础上，并发展可持续发展的能力和灵活性，以进入新的产品和市场。

The UK Spirits sector is estimated to be worth approx. £10,116m producing 303 million litres of product in 2020 (Source Statista). This is expected to reach approx. £13,922m producing 348 million litres by 2023\. The Gin portion of the sector is estimated to be approx. £2,700m, approx. 30% of which is for export (WSTA, 2019).Gin has been the leading spirit category across Western Europe and has overtaken whiskey as the most favoured spirit according to market research by Kantar.Furthermore, it is estimated that the UK alcohol industry employed approx. 800-900,000 jobs, with approx. 30,000 employed directly in production (source: Institute of Alcohol Studies). The spirits sector employs 186,000 people directly and a further 110,000 through the supply chain in the UK (WSTA, 2019). The UK spirits industry is clearly a vital part of the tourism and hospitality sector and represents more than 20% of UK food and drink exports and 470 distilleries across the country (more than doubling since 2015 ).This project will enable Alcohols Ltd to contribute to the UK effort in becoming a global leader in developing and realising sustainable methods for the production of Gin and potable spirits. By increasing efficiency and cycle time reduction, Alcohols Ltd will also increase capacity to enable the UK to access a growing global market.Both the drinks industry and the downstream specialty alcohols customers are putting more emphasis on sustainable supply chain and sustainable procurement, especially in Europe where Alcohols has an export footprint. This project will build on already strong product quality and service standards and develop a sustainability capability and flexibility to grow into new products and markets.
