As businesses across the country seek to set new ways of working, many are re-focusing on their net zero targets and supporting the nation’s green recovery. With transport generating the largest volume of CO2 in the UK, at about 30% of the UK’s CO2 emissions, transitioning to a zero-emission fleet is the obvious place to start. However, large scale electric […]

By 2025, 75% of all EVs will be owned by businesses. For drivers, their homes will be an important location to charge vehicles. Most fleet operators want to support home charging, but are challenged in how best to handle driver reimbursement. Find out how Mina and Allstar Business Solutions have begun answering the needs and supporting UK businesses to fast […]

Carbon is a good proxy for resource efficiency. Extraction and processing of resources and their subsequent use in construction consumes significant energy, which is currently strongly related to carbon. Cutting the volume of materials consumed and using resources more efficiently will reduce cost as well as carbon. Furthermore, the relative significance of capital carbon will increase as the grid is […]

The headlines will not be new to most people— climate change is happening, it’s caused by humans and it’s serious. This rise in temperature will come with increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events, causing devastating impacts to people and ecosystems as well as business continuity. While business efforts to date have focused on mitigation – and rightly so […]

Organisations and their leadership teams know they need to act on the climate emergency and several have set ambitious and stretching targets for decarbonisation. However not many have specific actionable plans for deliver decarbonisation and there is a leadership vacuum to drive this. Given decarbonisation is largely a engineering and technology challenge, energy manager have a once in a generation […]

Around 500,000 buildings in England alone are protected by statutory listing and hundreds of thousands more are situated in conservation areas. They cover many building types from stately homes to public buildings, terraced streets and blocks of social housing. The potential carbon savings from making these buildings more energy efficient is vast. The session will focus on near-term deep decarbonisation […]

The food and drink industry is the UK’s largest manufacturing sector, and in 2019 was responsible for 165 million tonnes of carbon emissions covering all food and drink consumed or produced in the UK. This equates to about 17% of the UK’s carbon footprint. This places a unique responsibility upon us all across the farm to fork supply chain to […]

For food and drink manufacturers, emissions from manufacturing are the main source of scope 1 and 2 emissions, and are the only ones under their direct control. Decarbonising manufacturing requires actions across operations, including new heating technologies and improvements to processes and efficiency. This panel will discuss the potential, the options and challenges to reducing onsite emissions, where improving energy […]
