One of The Energy Practice core business areas is work relating to the reduction of Carbon. We specialise in supply chain analysis
through to process and building studies. Many of our studies result in money savings in both procurement and operating costs.
We are
championing our belief that every product should have a Carbon stamp, stating the Carbon used back through all tiers of the supply
chain to basic resources.
Key Considerations When Considering
Carbon Reduction & Government Targets
In 2002 the Carbon Trust identified that UK business and public sectors accounted for annual emissions of 54MtC or around one third
of total UK carbon emissions. The Carbon Trust continued their analysis to investigate the potential to reduce these emissions and
concluded the total theoretically achievable reduction was 12.7 MtC.
Of this 12.7 MtC the Carbon Trust identified that 7.9 MtC (62%)
could be achieved from measures that are cost-effective and would lead to net financial gains to companies if fully implemented.
Excluding
Large Energy Intensive Industry; building stock represents 73% of the potential cost effective savings to be achieved by 2020
within the Large Non Energy Intensive Sector, Public Sector and Small to Medium Enterprises.
As a consequence the Government will be targeting policies towards this building stock as the easiest quick gain reductions.
The Energy
Practice with our expertise in Building Services are well placed to enable your business or department to future proof itself
from the impact of government policies and take immediate benifit from the potential energy and tax savings.
