The picturesque town of Ramsey, on the edge of the Fens in Cambridgeshire (UK), is an unusual setting for a ground-breaking project. Ramsey’s history, which dates back to 969AD, is dominated by an abbey. Today all that remains is its ruins, but the town is about to be given a new landmark - and it could have an even greater significance for generations to come.
Tesco is to build the world’s first zero-carbon store in the town, and the company hopes the building will act as a template that can be rolled out internationally.
