Heading the project from UWE is Genesis Oyedotun, who is currently undertaking a Masters Degree in Renewable Energy Systems Engineering. Genesis will be working at CFH over the next two years to research and implement extensive carbon saving measures, including efficiency improvements and on-site power generation.
“The energy saving potential here at CFH is huge,” says Dave Broadway, managing director at CFH. “The government is looking to reduce emissions from SMEs by around 25%, which of course not only contributes greatly to EU emissions targets, but it makes financial sense. At CFH we estimate we currently spend around £1/2 million each year on energy, and if we can reduce this cost then that is an enormous boost to the company."
He continues, “The collaboration with UWE is a very exciting project. The transfer of knowledge between us is already seeing results, and with everyone in the company giving it their full support, we are confident of achieving our objectives."
The new project adds to our existing environmental commitment with our tree planting scheme TopTree, accreditations from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), as well as the recent addition of accreditation ISO 14001:2004 for our Environmental Management System.
