Carbon reduction glossary
An A-Z glossary of technologies to help you on your decarbonisation journey.
If you are interested in reducing your company’s carbon footprint using any of these technologies, click the button below to get in touch.
Battery Storage
Battery storage gives organisations better control over their energy use – which offers multiple benefits for decarbonisation.
Carbon Offsetting
Offsetting is where companies invest in external carbon reduction projects as a way of compensating for emissions that they have not yet removed.
Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is a process that captures and utilises the waste heat produced by the electricity generation process.
Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPAs)
Corporate power purchase agreements are a popular choice for organisations looking to transition to a true green energy supply.
Gas Purchase Agreements (GPPAs)
Gas Purchase Agreements (also known as Gas PAs or GPPAs) provide a way for organisations to get paid for the waste green gas they produce.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are used to transfer low temperature heat from a renewable source to a higher, more useful temperature using a refrigerant cycle.
Hydropower
Small-scale hydropower provides a long-term way for businesses to generate their own electricity from water: a reliable, clean energy source.
LED Retrofit
Upgrading from conventional lighting to LEDs offers one of the quickest, most cost-effective ways for organisations to become more energy efficient.
Net Zero Transport
Transport is essential to the functioning of UK business, but responsible for over a third of the UK’s total carbon emissions. It’s an essential part of your net zero journey.
Power Factor Correction
If your site has a poor power factor, it is likely to result in greater costs and a larger carbon footprint. Discover how a partner can help assess and correct your power factor.
Refrigeration Equipment
Accounts for 50% of overall energy use in supermarkets and 30% of in pubs – unsurprisingly a significant source of GHG emissions. Learn how to reduce the impact this equipment has on your carbon footprint.
Solar PV
Switching to a clean energy supply forms an essential part of every net zero strategy with PV being a cost-effective option for businesses considering self-generation.
Voltage Optimisation
Offering a good ROI and can be applied to many sectors including manufacturing and industrial sites, education facilities, offices, retail outlets and leisure facilities.
Waste Heat to Energy
By recycling waste heat there is the potential to greatly reduce carbon emissions across many sectors and save energy costs.
Wind Generation
A key element of any net zero strategy will be the transition away from a fossil fuel-based energy supply; which means more and more organisations will be considering onsite generation in the coming years.
