Fylde energy specialist offers practical online help to hit carbon zero targets

BIU, based in Clifton Drive North in St Annes,said its online platform is aimed at organisations seeking to develop and deliver on net zero strategies.

Primarily aimed at large corporates and large public sector organisations, BiU’s Project Net Zero offers guidance to companies at all stages of their net zero journey, from initial target setting through to implementation.

The resource offers real-world solutions to meet net zero goals such as practical solutions to decarbonise, including energy efficient tech, renewable energy and offsetting.

But BiU said an important feature of the site was its intelligent net zero calculator – which offers a personalised roadmap to net zero based on a company’s individual characteristics, such as core activities, budget, sector and level of ambition.

The site also has a technology provider directory makes it easier for firms to connect with partners implementing carbon reduction measures.

The move comes just days after the USA re-joined the Paris Agreement under President Biden, reversing Donald Trump’s policy, a move which means two-thirds of the world’s emissions are now covered by net zero commitments.

The UK enshrined its 2050 net zero target into law in June 2019 with aims to be the first major economy in the world to pass laws to end its contribution to global warming by 2050.

BiU said organisations with net zero targets futureproof themselves for tightening legislative frameworks, as well as creating opportunities for growth and innovation.

More than 1,500 businesses globally have set net zero targets of some kind and many larger organisations are pushing their smaller supply chain partners into setting a net zero plan.

Anthony Mayall, chief commercial officer at BiU said: “Net zero presents a huge opportunity for businesses, but we recognised the need for a comprehensive information platform that would show companies how to get there – previously there has been no go-to source for independent advice.

“An organisation’s aspirations, budget and resources can determine the route it takes – Project Net Zero provides a tailored roadmap to help you set, progress and achieve your net zero goals.”
