Carbon Offsets
TM are pleased to offer a selection of validated and proven carbon offsets as a first stage in reducing your carbon footprint. We can offer offsets for all or part of your carbon footprint for a fraction of the cost of engineering the reduction, and is aimed at meeting the immediate requirements of your business. We then put in place an engineering and management programme to reduce the carbon footprint, while at the same time reducing the requirements for offsets. This is contrary to the "recommended" way of reducing your footprint, but in practice is a far more effective and leads to a long term programme  to reduce carbon emissions.
 

Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC)

NEW RULES!!!!

 In April 2012 companies consuming more than 6000mWhrs via HH electricity meters per annum and who are not covered by a Climate Change Agreement or the EU ETS schemes will be required to purchase carbon credits equivalent to the their projected emissions in 2012/13. The permits will be purchased from the government at £12.00 per tonne, equivalent to around 10% of your energy costs and will be required for all energy requirements i.e. electricity, gas, oil etc.

The following year participants are required to submit a detailed record of emissions for all sites that they operated during the year and a league table will be published ranking participants in terms of their carbon emission reductions. The monies collected will be retained by the government as a "carbon tax". The same process will be required the following year and every year thereafter.

TM is offering existing and past clients meetings to discuss the implications of the above and how to manage the administration. For many clients we will simply enhance our current data systems to cater for the legislation, for others we are able to offer a complete costs effective package to determine their requirements, purchase the credits, monitor performance submit annual returns and reduce the amount of "tax" paid.

This new "tax" was announced on page 63 of the spending cuts announced by the government in October 2010. It came out of nowhere and is a complete change to the "fiscally neutral" scheme as originally discussed and agreed!
