Decarbonising Manufacturing
Secure affordable, low-carbon heat for your manufacturing site
Decarbonising manufacturing has become a priority for manufacturers across Scotland as they face rising energy costs, increasing pressure to reduce Scope 1 emissions and the challenge of remaining competitive in a changing energy market.
AMP develops, funds, builds and operates low-carbon Energy Centres that deliver reliable industrial heat with no upfront capital investment, helping manufacturers reduce costs, improve resilience and accelerate decarbonisation without disrupting production.

A Proven Track Record in Manufacturing Decarbonisation
Manufacturers don’t need another strategy document. They need proven projects delivering real results.
AMP is already developing and operating large-scale industrial Energy Centres across Scotland, helping manufacturers transition away from fossil fuels while maintaining the reliable process heat their operations depend on.
Our projects include:
Simpsons Malt – a £45 million low-carbon Energy Centre reducing CO₂ emissions by around 25,000 tonnes per year while cutting Scope 1 emissions by 80%.
Bunnahabhain Distillery – delivering net zero distillation through a combination of sustainable biomass, local wood fuel and renewable energy.
Scottish Sea Farms – providing dependable, low-carbon heat for aquaculture operations.
These aren’t pilot projects. They’re fully operational examples of how AMP is helping UK manufacturers decarbonise today.
The Challenges Facing Manufacturers
Manufacturing businesses are under increasing pressure to balance sustainability with productivity and profitability.
Rising energy costs
Volatile gas prices and increasing carbon costs make budgeting difficult and reduce competitiveness.
High capital investment requirements
Replacing industrial heat infrastructure can require significant upfront investment, delaying projects and increasing financial risk.
Protecting production
Manufacturers need dependable, high-temperature process heat that supports production every day, not experimental technologies that introduce operational risk.
Meeting sustainability targets
Reducing Scope 1 emissions has become a key business priority, but many manufacturers struggle to find practical, commercially viable solutions.
A Uniquely Scottish Advantage
Scotland has one of Europe’s richest renewable energy resources.
However, there are times when more renewable electricity is generated than the electricity network can transport or use. Rather than being stored or utilised, wind farms are often asked to reduce generation – a process known as curtailment. This means clean, renewable energy is effectively wasted.
AMP is helping to change that.
By combining our expertise in energy markets with innovative Energy Centre solutions, we can harness this surplus renewable electricity and convert it into reliable, affordable industrial heat. This allows manufacturers to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels while benefiting from Scotland’s abundant renewable energy resource.
For manufacturers operating in Scotland, this creates a unique opportunity to improve energy resilience, lower carbon emissions and secure more predictable long-term energy costs.
AMP’s Industrial Heat Solution
Our Energy Centres are designed around your site’s operational requirements, helping businesses decarbonise manufacturing without compromising operational performance.
No CAPEX:
We fund, own and operate the entire Energy Centre, removing the need for significant capital investment.
Technology Agnostic:
Every manufacturing site is different. We assess your heat demand, processes and location to design the right solution, whether that’s electrification, biomass, hybrid systems or another low-carbon technology.
Reliable Process Heat:
Our Energy Centres are designed to integrate with your operations, delivering dependable heat without compromising production.
Predictable Energy Costs:
Long-term agreements provide greater certainty and protection from fossil fuel price volatility.
That means major carbon cuts, no increase in costs, and no operational risk.
