Cider farm now entirely powered by renewable energy with no offsetting
The Cornishman
|June 19, 2025
A CIDER manufacturer in South East Cornwall is now fossil fuel-free after switching over to heat pumps powered by solar energy.
-
Cornish Orchards' site in Duloe now runs entirely on renewable energy sources, reducing its future carbon emissions by up to 94%.
The business, now owned by Japanese brand Asahi, has also invested in promoting biodiversity and habitat creation.
"Unlike many brands, Cornish Orchards has refused to use offsetting as a shortcut to claiming carbon reduction", a spokesperson said.
"Sustainability is about far more than carbon. The team are also working to help revive nature by investing in local projects designed to deliver long-term ecosystem value.
"So far on their farm, they've planted four acres of woodland, capturing seven tonnes of CO₂ a year, with another 21 acres planned.
