Reducing The Carbon Footprint of your Business
Global Position. The size of our carbon footprint depends on the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) we put out into the atmosphere as a result of our personal or business activities. Interestingly this includes the CO2 that has been emitted on our behalf during the production of the goods and services we use, eg. transport of consumer goods and manufacture of raw materials. It is vital that the world's carbon footprint is reduced because of its contribution to global warming.
Government Position. Consuming fossil fuel as a source of energy is a major contributor to increasing global CO2 emissions. The Government is committed to reducing UK CO2 emissions by 26% by 2020 and then by 80% by 2050. They plan to achieve this with a combination of energy conservation in the short term and increased use of renewable energy sources in the long term. Using both approaches, the UK will use less fossil fuel to generate its heat and electricity.
Business Position. There is increasing pressure on businesses to cut their CO2
emissions through using less energy. For many companies, energy is now a major overhead. Energy savings can therefore contribute significantly to cutting costs. It is estimated that savings of 15% to 30% reductions are possible for companies which may not have previously considered energy efficiency measures. Cutting back on energy is key and the market for energy conservation products is growing rapidly. This presents businesses with an overwhelming array of options. Gener8Now helps its clients achieve maximum energy savings by identifying and implementing the most viable and appropriate technologies.
The downturn in the economy has already had and impact on energy consumption, through falling demand. Energy prices in Q1/09 have followed suit but most businesses have not seen this advantage as they are locked into fixed term price contracts.
At Gener8Now we can help your business reduce its energy price and carbon footprint.
