Net Zero North West’s Post

A Carbon Reduction Plan is a strategy implemented by a business or organisation in order to reduce its carbon. It typically includes measures such as energy efficiency, renewable energy and transportation, amongst many others. The goal of a Carbon Reduction Plan is to help businesses and organisations become more sustainable and environmentally friendly. In some cases, a carbon reduction planning can also lead to cost savings for the company or organisation.

It is always useful at the halfway point to reflect on progress made, regroup, and redefine the priorities for the remainder of the year. And what a first half of 2024 it’s been! So far, we are making excellent progress in achieving our carbon budget for the year. Our carbon budget is how we map out the annual reductions required to reach our near-term 2030 reduction target of 43% compared to our 2020 baseline. Achieving this target puts us in an excellent position to achieve our 2040 net zero target. The main contributors to our decarbonisation efforts are the roll-out of electric vehicles (EVs) in our collection and delivery fleet, deployment of renewable energy generation and procurement, and the use of hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) in our transport fleet. By the end of 2023 more than 32% of our C&D fleet was electric. We have seen this number increase slightly to 34% through the first half of 2024 due to de-fleeting of some of our diesel vehicles; however, we have spent considerable time this year ensuring that the infrastructure we need to expand our electric fleet is in place.

🌍 Exciting times ahead for renewable energy! As we approach 2030, ING wants to be at the forefront of the low-carbon transition. We’re working with clients on their transitions to net zero and supporting sustainable technologies. Inclusivity is key, and we’re finding innovative ways to help people stay a step ahead of climate change. There’s more to this. Get the full picture from our Global head of energy, Michiel de Haan in the following article: https://lnkd.in/eMD3_Nq6 Society is transitioning to a low-carbon economy. So are our clients, and so is ING. We finance a lot of sustainable activities, but we still finance more that’s not. See how we’re progressing on ing.com/climate

Many business owners are concerned that sustainability measures are going to make the process of energy procurement more complicated than it already is. These challenges include: ❌ Volatile energy markets ❌Increasing regulation requirements ❌Net-zero targets ❌Grid infrastructure ❌Stakeholder pressure for ESG Read more to find out how your business can tackle these issues. #SustainabilityChallenges #EnergyProcurementComplications #SustainabilityConcerns #VolatileEnergyMarket #GreenEnergySolutions #RenewableEnergyOptions #CleanEnergyChoices #EnvironmentalSustainability #SustainableBusinessPractices #ClimateActionInitiatives https://lnkd.in/emhi3FBG

Following COP28, there's a strong push to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 and double energy efficiency improvements. These ambitious targets are crucial for combating climate change and transitioning to a sustainable future. However, significant challenges remain: - Financing Gaps: Emerging and developing economies struggle to secure the necessary funding for renewable projects. - Deployment Hurdles: Efficient deployment of renewable energy technologies is hindered by policy uncertainties and infrastructure limitations. By scaling up investments and improving policy frameworks continuously, we can close the gap and achieve global sustainability goals. Private investment can drive innovation, increase funding availability, and accelerate the deployment of renewable technologies. By leveraging the expertise and resources of private enterprises, we can create a more resilient and establish a sustainable framework for the energy sector.

Are European CEOs shifting their net zero goals due to energy uncertainties? Aggreko's Robert Wells, President of Europe, highlights the crucial need for energy transition strategies amidst grid instability and rising costs. The latest report, Rebalancing the Energy Transition, offers insights from 400 CEOs tackling profitability while navigating sustainability. #NetZero #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy

Most investments in energy efficiency - or converting to renewable energy sources - have a payoff period in the 5-15 year range. Voltage optimisation has a payoff period of 1-2 years (or shorter). That is why voltage optimisation is a true driver for the sustainability transition.

How can we ensure that we are on track to meet the world’s net zero targets?  @Dan Carter shares his formula for a successful energy transition following his participation in Barclay’s Delivering Decarbonisation Conference.   Despite carbon abatement being common practice in modern energy production and supply, the IEA has still predicted that 40% of emissions reductions needed to achieve sustainability goals have not yet been commercially deployed.   Wood’s understanding of how you can navigate the evolving world of decarbonisation technologies will be key in enabling companies across all industries to achieve their carbon abatement goals.   Read more below and discover how Wood can support with our low-carbon solutions.   #decarbonisation #ccs #hydrogen
