How can we reduce our CO2 emissions?

Reducing CO₂ emissions concerns every sector

The science is beyond argument: human activities are responsible for the climate crisis, mainly because of the carbon emissions they create. From the chemicals and pharmaceutical industries to construction and civil engineering, defense, paper-making and public services, every sector of the economy and every economic actor has to act to reduce their CO₂ emissions.

Being seen to act as a good citizen has a major influence on public opinion, which is increasingly aware of the impacts different industries have on the climate.

Similarly, in every sector and industry, regulations are changing quickly and becoming more restrictive. Any business that fails to reduce its climate impact runs the risk of causing long-term harm to its activities, perhaps even of being banned once and for all.

Leaving aside any outside pressures or frameworks, the climate crisis itself can compromise a business’ activities within a very short timeframe. For example, the increasing frequency and severity of periods of drought has negative impacts on the availability of water resources, which are critical to countless industrial sites.

This is why we offer our customers an extensive range of solutions for measuring and reducing their CO₂ emissions. These solutions are investments in the future, and generally also improve the efficiency of installations and thus production costs.

Our approaches for reducing CO₂ emissions

We offer all our customers solutions that act on key levers for reducing their CO₂ emissions. They make it possible for local authority and industrial customers not just to measure their environmental footprint but also, more importantly, to reduce it by switching to a more environmentally friendly energy mix, coupled with countless other services for improving their energy efficiency and by pooling a portion of their infrastructure.

Improving energy management

We improve energy management for our customers at every point in the chain, from production to use. Specifically, we work extensively on heating and cooling networks in hundreds of towns and cities worldwide, crafting low-carbon strategies that favor renewable and alternative energy supplies. Our Hubgrade management solution delivers energy efficiency savings for buildings and other forms of infrastructure, leveraging real-time data to optimize decisions and on-site or remote interventions.

Recovering decarbonized energy in microgrids

We work for the development of microgrids that use renewable energy. The decentralized precision control these smart mini energy networks offer also boosts the resilience of cities or industries in the event of power outages caused by climate events. This ensures the continuity of all essential services and tasks, thanks mainly to the contribution from green energies.

Pooling energy infrastructures

We help industrial parks to pool their energy management infrastructure, as well as their waste and water management services. Industrial parks are usually home to multiple activities that, despite their differences, all require the same resources to operate. Our infrastructure pooling services provide a reduction in CO₂ emissions as well as performance gains and lower costs.

Measuring and certifying CO₂ emissions

We work with our customers to measure their environmental footprint, particularly greenhouse gas emissions. In the face of growing pressure from legislation and public opinion, most of our customers find it has become vital to have accurate and reliable measurements of their CO₂ emissions. Once the readings are known, we can identify areas where improvements can be made and work with them to implement a reduction plan to help them meet their goals.
