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

英国烈酒行业估计价值约为。到2020年生产3.03亿升产品（来源Statista）。这一数字预计将达到大约。139.22亿英镑，到2023年生产3.48亿升。该部门的Gin部分估计约为。£2700,大约。其中30%用于出口（WSTA, 2019）。根据凯度的市场调查，杜松子酒在西欧一直是领先的烈酒类别，已经超过威士忌成为最受欢迎的烈酒。此外，据估计，英国酒精行业雇用了大约。800-900,000个工作岗位，其中约。30 000人直接从事生产（资料来源：酒精研究所）。在英国，烈酒行业直接雇佣了18.6万人，通过供应链雇佣了11万人（WSTA， 2019年）。英国烈酒行业显然是旅游业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，全国有470家酿酒厂（自2015年以来翻了一番多）。该项目将使酒类有限公司为英国努力成为开发和实现可持续生产杜松子酒和饮用烈酒的全球领导者做出贡献。通过提高效率和减少周期时间，酒精有限公司也将增加产能，使英国能够进入不断增长的全球市场。饮料行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，并发展可持续性能力和灵活性，以发展新产品和市场。

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.
