Tesco, UK´s leading food retailer, will open the world´s first zero-carbon store

Tesco, UK´s leading retailer, will open the world´s first "zero-carbon"-store. The store is being built and will be opened in the city of Ramsey, Cambrigde (England). The building is being built using the latest green technologies, like combined heat and power to generate energy for the supermarket. The construction material will contain high levels of insulation, and if necessary it can be recycled. The use of glass reduces the use of lighting, fresh air will generated by top-roof wind-catchers. The supermarket will have sensor-controlled energy-efficient lighting.
Tesco has met an sustainability goal, one year earlier than planned. The chain is diverting 100% of the waste produced in all the UK supermarkets. With this waste Tesco created new innovative ways of turning garbage into fuel.
