Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) is a technology that can capture and make effective use of the high concentrations of CO₂ emitted by industrial activities. Consequently, it has a key role to play in decarbonization and the addressing the challenge of global climate change.

Carbon Counter provide an indispensable service, they collect data from various data loggers, smart meters and power company's portals then put it in one place for quick access to reports, forecasts and alarms.

Spartan UK has been using remote monitoring technology for its onsite gas sub meters for nearly two years. During this time, we have been able to identify areas for improvement and quantify the results of upgrades. The technology is unobtrusive and the data presentation easy to understand and analyse. Due to the nature of our business and size of the site we were initial concerned about signal penetration and reception, but this has not shown to be an issue. We plan to continue to use the information gathered to improve our gas efficiency, reduce our environmental impact and to justify future capex improvement projects

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors,
we borrow it from our children

CO2e, or carbon dioxide equivalent, is a standard unit for measuring carbon footprints. The idea is to express the impact of each different greenhouse gas in terms of the amount of CO₂ that would create the same amount of warming.

The more we talk about the need to control emissions,
the more they are growing
