Proposals for a geothermal rum distillery and cask maturation research facility directly connected into a geothermal power plant have moved forward with outline planning permission granted by Cornwall Council.
Planning permission, subject to conditions, has been granted for Celsius – the Sustainable Distillery Research Centre – to be built on the hard edge of the former United Downs landfill site, adjacent to where Geothermal Energy Ltd (GEL) will be producing zero carbon, renewable power in 2022.
Waste heat from GEL s deep geothermal energy plant will be piped directly into the Celsius centre, where its temperature will be boosted using heat pump technology being developed by the Cornish Geothermal Distillery Company(CGDC) and engineers Buro Happold.
