Uber launches London’s first ever carbon-negative pub
Uber is launching London’s first carbon-negative pub, the ’55k Tonnes’, set to open its doors this week.
The pub will feature a range of carbon-saving technologies such as Pavegen flooring which transforms footsteps into electrical power, and energy-generating power bikes.
It was created to celebrate the 55,000 tonnes of air pollution saved in the capital since 2021 by Uber’s electrification efforts.
The pub will open its doors ahead of Uber’s second annual global climate event, GO-GET Zero.
London has become Uber’s global EV capital, with nearly 30% of Uber miles in London being driven by electric vehicles.
Uber launched its electric-only option Uber Green in 2021 which costs the same as a standard UberX.
Drivers also earn approximately 10% more on all Uber Green trips.
The 55k Tonnes pub takes its name from Britain’s numerous ‘tun’ pubs, with ‘tun’ being the old English word for a barrel or keg of beer.
Located in Westminster, the 55k Tonnes pub will be home to carbon-neutral brews, a unique happy hour starting at 5:50pm that includes £5.50 drinks designed to encourage people not to travel at rush hour.
There are also discounts on Uber Green rides to get home from the pub.
Every sustainable brew sold at the pub will come with an Uber Green discount of 55% to help punters get home sustainably.
The 55k Tonnes will also serve the carbon-negative beer, Swell, brewed by South London’s Gipsy Hill Brewing on draft.
Andrew Brem, General Manager at Uber UK, said: ” The opening of The 55k Tonnes in Westminster showcases Uber’s commitment to sustainability in London and beyond.”
The pub will be open from 13.00-22.30 on 7 and 9 October at 46 Great Peter St, London.
