UK Experience to date

Theme: Things the UK has done to enable the industry not just technology development

Our mission:

To accelerate the move to a low carbon economy

What we do:

We advise businesses and governments on their opportunities in a sustainable, low carbon

world

We measure and certify the environmental impact of organisations, supply chains and

products

The Carbon Trust has a 10-year history of

accelerating low carbon businesses

products

We help develop and deploy low carbon technologies and solutions, from energy efficiency to

renewable power

What we have achieved:

Helped our customers to save 3.7 billion

Helped our customers to save 38m tons of CO2

Catalysed over 300m of investment into clean technologies

We have developed a wealth of experience

over the past ten years

Example customers:

Prioritising innovation

areas

Designing innovation

initiatives

Delivering innovative

solutions

Delivering different solutions for different customers along the innovation journey

Example customers:

Confidential: oil and gas major

Example from OWA: FoundationsCompetition to reduce foundation costs by up to 30% in 30-60m depths.
