Carbon Trust Public Sector Programmes

1st May 2013 12:11

The public sector spends £3bn a year on building energy use, and a further £1.3bn on transport fuel. For over ten years the Carbon Trust has been working closely with the public sector to help them reduce energy spend without impacting on services, helping them to take action on resource efficiency and climate change.

Each year the Carbon Trust runs a number of collaborative programmes for the public sector. In 2011-12 alone the Carbon Trust worked with 94 large public sector bodies on carbon management programmes, identifying nearly 300,000 tonnes of CO2 savings and achieving energy cost reductions of £56 million a year.

The Carbon Trust's CPD-accredited collaborative programmes bring together a number of public sector bodies, taking them through a proven set of steps to help them reduce their carbon emissions and energy bills. Having multiple public sector bodies go through the same process at the same time enables the sharing of knowledge and experience on how to overcome key barriers, and allows the programmes to run at a significantly reduced cost to each individual organisation.

Applications are currently being taken for programmes beginning in May 2013. The deadline for signing up is Monday 1 April 2013.
