Energy White Paper: Sustainable Footprints Responds

Monday, 14 December 2020 by Claire Gomersall
Energy White Paper

Geri Findlay, Sustainable Footprints’ Director responded to the release of the UK Government’s Energy White Paper today (14 December 2020): “Today’s Energy White Paper provides an interesting opportunity for ambitious targets to meet the net-zero emissions goal whilst trying to balance various and, sometimes, conflicting interests such as a massive overhaul of infrastructure to facilitate electric vehicles with more renewable energy. This is alongside supporting cheaper energy through tackling loyalty penalties on energy tariffs. Seeing how this manifests itself, and the future landscape in this area, will be interesting and, no doubt, a political ball to be thrown about.”

The key parts of the UK Government’s Energy White Paper include:

  1. Supporting up to 220,000 jobs in the next 10 years.
  2. Transforming the UK’s energy system from one based on fossil fuels to one harnessing renewable energy that is fit for a net-zero economy.
  3. Offering people a more simple method of switching to cheaper energy tariffs and testing automatic switching to fairer deals.
  4. Generating emission-free electricity by 2050 by increasing the use of renewable energy sources.
  5. Establishing a UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) from 1 January 2021 to replace the current EU ETS.
  6. Continuing to explore a range of financing options for new nuclear developments.
  7. A commitment to deliver 40GW of electricity through offshore wind farms by 2030.
  8. Investing £1 billion in state-of-the-art carbon capture storage in four industrial clusters by 2030.
  9. Aim for 5GW of hydrogen production by 2030 backed by a new £240m net-zero Hydrogen Fund.
  10. Investing £1.3 billion to accelerate the rollout of charge points for electric vehicles in homes, streets and on motorways plus up to £1 billion to support the electrification of cars.
  11. Supporting the lowest paid with their bills which could save families in old inefficient homes up to £400.
  12. Moving away from fossil fuel boilers. By mid-2030s, all newly installed heating systems are expected to be low carbon.

Another Happy CEn – Calc Customer

Wednesday, 11 November 2020 by Sophia Axon

 

Parks of Hamilton have become the latest company empowered by Sustainable Footprints to calculate their own carbon footprint by purchasing their very own copy of CEn-Calc – our carbon and energy quantification tool.

Alisdair Noble, Group Finance Director said:

“At Park’s, we take our commitment to SECR compliance and our environmental impact seriously.  We approached Sustainable Footprints about the best way to develop our SECR compliant carbon footprint.  After speaking with Geri at Sustainable Footprints we decided to purchase the CEn-Calc which enables us to accurately calculate and monitor year on year our carbon footprint and energy consumption profile.  We booked the training session with Hamza to ensure we not only understood how the tool worked but use it to its full advantage.  Clear guidance on gathering our data in advance of the session allowed Hamza to explain everything simply and provide a clear understanding of how to record all aspects of our energy usage.  Together with the instruction manual provided, I feel confident that by using CEn-Calc we will be able to not only meet our legal compliance obligations but also our carbon and energy reduction commitments.”

CEn-Calc has been specially developed by Sustainable Footprints to enable businesses to use their existing data to calculate their buildings, fleet and process carbon emissions and energy consumption in a robust and repeatable way.  Indeed, it is the tool used by Sustainable Footprints consultants themselves.  It has been created in Excel so businesses do not need any special software in order to run it.

Hamza Sadiq, Sustainable Footprints’ CEn-Calc Trainer said:

“At Sustainable Footprints, we are immensely proud of our CEn-Calc.  We have been keen to provide this to other businesses and organisations as we believe in empowering others and working towards a more sustainable future. 

There is more and more emphasis being placed on the environment and working towards combatting climate change.  New legislation and legal requirements are being announced and we want to empower organisations to be ready to respond and to meet their legal obligations.  Notably, the deadline for the new Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) scheme is drawing ever closer so it is important that businesses are ready.”

CEn-Calc is available to purchase at https://www.sustainablefootprints.co.uk/product/cen_calc/.  It costs £1,500 and includes a 12-month licence, instruction manual and SECR statement template.  A one day training course can be booked from £500.  This can be delivered virtually and will ensure you are comfortable in using the CEn-Calc for your business.  A new licence is required after 12-months which costs £250.  The new licence comes with updated DEFRA conversion factors and average fuel court prices as well as any upgrades to the CEn-Calc itself.
