Developing Low Carbon Strategies

Developing and implementing a Low Carbon strategy with the help of our expert consultants

Developing Low Carbon Strategies background

Why you Need to Develop Low Carbon Strategies?

With reference to Bill Gates recent bestseller on Climate Change “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster”, he urges us to focus on two numbers, 51 and zero. Globally, We are currently emitting 51 billion tonnes of carbon per annum and if we were to meet the challenging target of 1.5 degrees celsius increase in temperature of the planet by the end of the century, we must reduce our Green House Gas (GHG) emissions to net-zero as quickly as humanly possible.

Reducing energy consumption and carbon emission is not only good for the planet but also good for our pockets.  By developing and implementing a Low Carbon process optimisation strategy you can:

  • Identify ways to improve your production efficiency
  •  Achieve financial saving
  • Meet sectoral energy and CO2 reduction targets
  •  Meet the regulatory and legislative compliance
  •  Gain a competitive advantage

Benchmarking

Every organisation will need to undergo a benchmarking assessment. This will provide a baseline to work from and to provide Pro Enviro consultants with data that will be used in a range of tools to accurately monitor and develop strategies to manage your energy consumption.  Our consultants will transform your raw energy data into highly visual, meaningful reports to help you understand exactly how you consume energy, to ensure that you are managing it effectively and can identify non-productive consumption and costs and develop strategies to eliminate it.

How we at Pro Enviro Develop Low Carbon Strategies.

 

In any energy-intensive production process an understanding of the energy consumption of individual items of plant, especially the most energy-hungry, is the necessary 1st step to eliminate any excess consumption and identify inefficiencies.  This is key to developing and implementing Low Carbon strategies.
At Pro Enviro, we use several innovative processes and online tools to develop your tailored Low Carbon strategy.  

These include but is not limited to:

 

Making use of your half-hourly data.

Enviro Track

Half-hourly data is a record of the energy used in every half-hour period of every day.  At Pro Enviro, we turn your half-hourly data into an invaluable resource for monitoring and understanding how you consume energy using our Enviro Track diagnostic tool.  With easy-to-read charts and tables, your patterns of consumption are made clearly visible without the need to wade through often confusing energy bills.  Enviro Track enables you to track your actual patterns of energy consumption against your production processes and thereby identifying any unusual patterns and areas where energy can be saved and carbon emissions avoided.

Development of Low Carbon Strategies

Each Low Carbon strategy is uniquely tailored to address the needs of an individual organisation.  In all cases, our suite of online tools will be used to provide an accurate assessment of energy consumption, costs and carbon emissions.  
Our Low Carbon strategies will provide the most cost-effective and efficient route to minimise energy consumption and carbon emissions with a tailored plan of action for implementation.  It, therefore, provides a practical and manageable 1st step roadmap for developing and implementing your net-zero carbon strategy. 
Our highly experienced engineering team can design, cost, and assess the level of return on capital investment needed for all areas of energy efficiency and carbon reduction:  

These include but not limited to:

  • Process heat recovery system
  • Energy efficient process heating
  • Energy efficient compressed air systems and controls
  • Application of Variable Speed Drives (VSD) to pumps and extraction systems
  • Installation of Power Factor Correction (PFC) equipment
  • Replacement of old and inefficient plant and machinery
  • Energy efficient heating and cooling systems
  • Design and installation of renewable energy; inhouse solar generation, air source and ground source heat pumps
  • Biomass heating systems
  • Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems

Our specialist project managers will ensure installations are carried out efficiently, with minimum disruption, on time and to agreed budgets.
