Addressing Key Carbon Questions
One of the standout features of Greener Energy Futures is their ability to answer the tough questions organisations face about carbon. Wondering how to reduce your carbon footprint? Curious about your reporting obligations on energy and carbon? Or maybe you’re asking, “How do I fund carbon reduction?” and “Should I consider Scope 3 carbon?” These are exactly the kinds of questions they help organisations navigate, providing clarity and actionable advice every step of the way.
Four Pillars of Support for Net-Zero Ambitions
The consultancy supports organisations through a clear four-step process:
- Measure: Assessing carbon emissions across both direct and indirect sources, covering Scopes 1, 2, and 3.
- Identify: Pinpointing ways to reduce emissions and integrate new, sustainable processes.
- Source: Finding funding to back the carbon reduction plan.
- Action: Bringing in expert partners to implement energy use and emissions reductions.
This structured approach ensures that organisations don’t just talk about net-zero—they take meaningful steps toward it.
Bespoke Service Models Tailored to Organisational Needs
Understanding that every organisation is unique, Greener Energy Futures offers two tailored service models:
- Standard Process: A focused 3-month engagement designed to identify emissions and immediate reduction opportunities, kickstarting the journey.
- Strategic Process: A long-term partnership involving multiple, sequential carbon reductions, setting realistic long-term goals, enhancing carbon reporting, engaging employees, and providing ongoing support as the plan evolves.
Whether an organisation is just starting out or looking for a comprehensive, evolving strategy, there’s a model to fit.
Project Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy – Promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions.
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – Supporting sustainable industrial processes and innovation in carbon reduction.
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – Encouraging efficient resource use and waste reduction.
- SDG 13: Climate Action – Directly contributing to climate change mitigation through carbon footprint reduction.
- SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals – Facilitating funding and collaboration to achieve net-zero targets.
Why Carbon Reduction and Scope 3 Matter
Scope 3 emissions often fly under the radar but can represent the largest chunk of an organisation’s carbon footprint. Greener Energy Futures helps businesses understand why Scope 3 matters and how to tackle it effectively. By addressing indirect emissions—like those from supply chains and product use—organisations can unlock significant carbon savings and align with frameworks like SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) and GHG (Greenhouse Gas) protocols. It’s not just about cutting emissions; it’s about smart, strategic carbon management that sticks.
