Climate Action Project – Enhanced Rock Weathering In Scotland
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that by 2050, 10 gigatonnes of CO2 must be removed annually to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees under the Paris Climate Agreement. Innovative solutions like enhanced rock weathering that are removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere are crucial to meet this goal. In this article, we’ll explore how this promising method captures carbon while benefiting agriculture and soil health, offering a sustainable way to combat climate change.
Climate Action Project – Biogas From Waste in Cambodia
In rural Cambodia, many communities still face challenges in accessing reliable electricity, with more than 85% of the population lacking consistent power. This shortage significantly limits opportunities for improving living standards and hinders economic growth. In this article, we’ll delve into how The Biodigester Programme is doing more than just supplying electricity. It’s transforming rural communities and paving the way for sustainable living and economic resilience.
Climate Action Project – Protecting Biodiversity in Peru
In 2015, there were an estimated three trillion trees globally. Since then, deforestation has claimed over 15 billion trees each year, leading to a staggering 46% decline in the global tree count. This loss not only releases carbon stored in trees but also diminishes the future ability to sequester carbon. However, through dedicated conservation efforts like Peru’s Tambopata-Bahuaja Project there is hope. In this blog, we’ll explore how this ambitious initiative is working to preserve Peru’s rich ecosystems and promote sustainable practices.
Climate Action Project – Repairing Boreholes in Africa
One in nine people around the world do not have access to clean water close to home, and Eritrea’s situation highlights the immense challenges faced by millions around the world. In Eritrea, the struggle to find safe water is a daily reality. In this article we’ll delve into the impact of the Zoba Debub Community Boreholes Project, which not only restores vital water sources, empowering local communities to safeguard their future but also reduces carbon emissions by replacing traditional water purification methods.
Climate Action Project – Wildflowers, Wetlands & Wildlife
The UK’s biodiversity offers invaluable benefits, including picturesque landscapes, unique wildlife, clean air, and water, along with habitats that naturally sequester carbon to mitigate climate change. However, biodiversity in the UK is under severe threat, with 50% of its biodiversity already lost. In this article, we’ll explore the important role the Wildflowers, Wetlands and Wildlife project plays in creating and restoring habitats for plants and animals above the ground, as well as how restoration work is vital to keep soils healthy.
Launching Our Tree Planting Scheme
We’re proud to announce the launch of our new Tree Planting Scheme, in partnership with Ecologi. The purpose is to promote sustainability and environmental responsibility within our stakeholder group, empowering customers, brokers and employees to reduce global carbon emissions. The scheme will harmonise with our renewable energy offering and encourage the UK small business community to contribute to the climate change agenda. We hope you share our excitement on what is just the beginning of this journey. Please read this article to find out more.
UK Smart Grid & Smart Meters
A smart energy system is being developed in the UK that uses digital technology to revolutionise the way that we generate and use energy. At the heart of this system are smart meters, that produce accurate data and automatically provide meter readings, so that suppliers and grid operators can actively monitor consumer usage. Find out what this means for your business and the positive impact this will have on climate change.
