Global car manufacturer Honda has announced a new on-site biomass facility at its Swindon site that could supply up to 30% of energy needs, and we are proud to be working alongside them to make this ambition a reality.
The project has now been exposed to national press, with an article in this month’s Professional Engineer explaining how the technology will be used to reduce emissions and alleviate pressure from the National Grid whilst significantly reducing their energy bill. You can read the article, which includes quotations from Chairman Peter Rolton, here:

The Honda project is one of several that we are currently developing, and is a frontrunner in the on-site generation race. Many of the UK’s largest energy users could benefit from similar schemes, and if you would like further information on the opportunities they present, please contact Peter Rolton: Peter.Rolton@rolton.com
After a successful MIPIM collaboration, Rolton are pleased to continue their support for the Newcastle Gateshead Initiative and are extending this partnership by joining the North East England Pavilion at UKREiiF as an Ambassador Partner.
Our scholarship partnership with Northumbria University is an excellent opportunity for the next generation of engineers to benefit through funding, mentorship and work experience. It’s an honour to give back, to inspire and change lives.
Our paper begins with a fundamental truth – that if we are to have the energy we need to ‘power the 2035 industrial and data-driven revolution’, we need to focus on delivering sustainable energy and infrastructure for the UK.
