Is the sun shining on new energy sources?

January 27, 2020

Although the European Union (EU) seems to be on track to meet this year’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction target of 20% compared to 1990 levels, it is currently not projected to achieve the 2030 targets. In line with the Paris Climate Agreement of 2015, these targets relate to domestic GHG emissions, the share of renewable energy sources and energy efficiencyi . Hence, radical change is required and we all need to do our bit. With road transport accounting for approximately 20% of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emissions in the EU alone, the mobility sector can play an important role in helping to accomplish the environmental targets.

The changing approach to renewable energy

whitePaper | December 19, 2019

The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is well underway and many businesses are responding well. Despite this, the market still faces challenges in the form of feed-in tariffs, power quality problems, planning permission and the threat from cheap imports of renewable technology. Businesses that are looking to make the transition unscathed in the next few years need to start thinking of renewable energy differently.

Good for your business, good for the planet Sustainability strategies to build a more resilient world

whitePaper | April 23, 2022

Our growing climate crisis demands that we conserve energy and water, reduce waste, and find ways to protect our ecosystems. But the most urgent challenge facing us globally may be to reduce our carbon emissions. And while governments and businesses across the globe are racing to set ambitious targets on a path to a net zero carbon future, we can’t reach net zero if we don’t actually know where we are. We need a common foundation to ensure that Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions are measured in an accurate, consistent, and reliable way. Without global standards, it will be difficult for organizations to develop effective roadmaps to reduce their emissions without wasting time and money—and it will be difficult to know if our collective actions are making a difference
