Details of the winning project
Carbon reduction through energy efficient pumping, asset management and chemical reduction
Over the past 12 months our team has embarked on a pioneering journey, approaching carbon reduction from a unique perspective.
Rooted in innovation and ambition, our initiatives have yielded remarkable results in the pursuit of net zero targets and heightened sustainability.
Our focus on quick to implement opportunities brought great reductions in energy and chemicals usage and therefore in carbon emissions too.
Since August 2022 we have identified and implemented 31 energy saving opportunities and six chemical reduction opportunities, which totalise to c. 1 million kWh, 95t of chemical and c. 330 tonnes of yearly reduction in CO2 emissions.
