Arla Foods’ plans to build the world’s largest zero carbon dairy at Aylesbury in England have been given the go ahead by the local authority. The Danish dairy co-operative has committed to 100% privately fund the £150 million project, creating a dairy which can process and package up to 1.3 billion litres of fresh milk per year.

“This will be a state-of-the-art dairy designed to help Arla achieve its growth ambitions in theUK,” points out Peter Lauritzen, chief executive of Arla Foods UK. “In addition to being one of the largest construction projects in theUK, our flagship building will also be the world’s first zero carbon dairy.”
