> Glenfiddich has sold off spent grains left over from the malting process to be used for a high-protein cattle feed.
This sounds as if the leftovers used to be sold as cattle feed, but now they are turned into fuel. If correct, that's horrible! Valuable protein is destroyed in the process. That protein will now have to come from somewhere else, and that's plants fertilized with ammonia, which is in turn made from natural gas.
Destroying protein is not green! Never! Fueling the very same trucks with natural gas is as easy and more efficient, because it skips the intermediate steps.

I'm curious how they plan to do this while burning peat in the production process. My guess is by creative accounting.
