Whilst the UK government has set an ambitious target to achieve Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050, this is only possible if we change the way we use and source energy in our daily lives and wider business activities.
A path To Business Success
Companies who prioritise sustainability, with a demonstratable commitment to net zero initiatives, can enhance their brand image and reputation with customers and investors who share passion for sustainable practices.
Working towards net zero can lead to cost savings for businesses through a reduction in energy usage, increase efficiency, changes in practices and the use of renewable energy.
The main focus of net zero efforts is to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change and its associated effects to create a better future for all.
With climate change and its associated effects disrupting business operations, moving towards net zero can help mitigate these risks to ensure your businesses long term sustainability and protect against potential issues in the future.
Companies showing a commitment to working towards net zero are likely to qualify for 'green business' grants. But its not just the grants, investors are now paying attention to ESG policies before choosing to invest in businesses.
The quickest and most simple way to help your business achieve net zero emissions is by changing your energy plan. Whether its a move to a half hourly meter to improve energy efficiency or selecting a renewable electricity or carbon neutral gas tariff we have you covered.
Check our our tariffs below:
As a company we encourage the uptake of electric vehicles with our SLT all driving a hybrid or fully electric vehicle.
We strive to conduct the majoirty of our client and partner meetings virtually to reduce the amount of travel we do.
We have made changes around our office to become more energy efficient, including heating timers, IT timers, LED lighting and more.
Our office and all other building associated with Dyce Energy are powered with energy that has been generated from renewable sources.
Over the last several years we have seen more businesses being encouraged to reduce their environmental impact and help reduce the effects of climate change.
Whether its pressure from Government legislation, consumers, investors, supply chain or wider stakeholders, in todays business landscape its essential that you work towards becoming Net Zero.
Dyce Energy helps businesses like yours meet regulatory standards, reduce waste, and align with sustainability targets.
If your business is ready to start its journey towards Net Zero, get in touch with our team today to find out how we can support you.
To Put It Simply, Net Zero Means That Any Carbon Emissions Created Are Balanced (Cancelled Out) By The Amount Taken Out Of The Atmosphere.
In 2019, The UK Government Became The First Major Economy To Pass A Net Zero Emissions Law And Within This A Target That Will Require The UK To Bring All Greenhouse Gas Emissions To Net Zero By 2050.
Gross Net Zero Energy, Also Referred To As Gross Zero Carbon, Real Zero Carbon Or True Zero Carbon, Is When A Company Or Industry ‘Has Completely Eliminated Carbon Emissions’ From Their Operations. Energy Providers Could Get Very Close To Gross Zero Carbon With Renewable Energy. The National Grid Is Striving To Reach Zero Carbon In Real Terms Rather Than Relying On Carbon Offsetting Projects And Initiatives.
Carbon Offsetting Is The Process That Involved The Removal Or Reduction Of Carbon Dioxide And Other Greenhouses Gases From The Atmosphere In Order To Compensate For Emissions Made Elsewhere.
This General Involves A Company, Or Energy Supplier, Paying To Support Other Entities To Reduce Their Carbon Emissions That They Can’t Reduce Themselves.
Some Of The Projects That Dyce Energy And Our Selected Supplier Support With Carbon Offsetting Include The Amazon Reforestation Project, The Samsun Landfill Project In Turkey With Converts Harmful Gases Into Sustainable Electricity And More.
As Mentioned In The Above Point Dyce Energy And Our Selected Supplier Support Several Carbon Projects Through Our Renewable Electricity And Carbon Neutral Gas Tariffs.
When Looking At These Projects They Are Designed To Help Reduce Future Emissions As Well As Help Soak Up Carbon Dioxide From The Air. They Can Be Categories Into 3 Types:
Nature Based: This Is Where Emissions Are Avoided Or Removed By Nature-Based Solutions Such As Forest Preservation And Restoration.
Clean Energy Solutions: The Development Of New Renewable Energy Projects/Generators, Energy Efficiency Measures And The Deployment Of Low Carbon Alternatives To Fossil Fuels. An Example Of This Would Be In Sumatra, Indonesia Where On The Musi River A Hydroelectricity Plant Has Been Built Supplying Clean Sustainable Energy To Over 700,000 Indonesians.
Technological Solutions: New Technologies Such As Direct Air Capture (DAC), Captures And Stores The Carbon In The Atmosphere. However, These Are Still Developing And Have Yet To Be Deployed At Scale.
A REGO, Called A Renewable Energy Guarantee Of Origin, Is A Certificate That Shows The Electricity You Have Been Supplied With Was Generated From Renewable Sources.
An RGGO (Renewable Gas Guarantee Of Origin) Is A Certificate That Proves A Specific Amount Of Gas Has Been Produced From Renewable Sources. It Ensures Transparency In The Energy Market By Verifying That The Gas Supplied Is Genuinely Green. RGGOs Work Similarly To REGOs (Renewable Energy Guarantee Of Origin) Certificates In Electricity, Helping Businesses And Consumers Track And Support Renewable Gas Usage.

In your personal life, you may be trying to reduce your carbon footprint, whether it’s through traveling less, sustainable products, investing in an electric vehicle or even something as simple as taking your own bag to the supermarket. But it’s often our commercial activities that leave a much bigger carbon footprint than our personal lives. So, question is how can business reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to tackle climate change?
