Online networks launched to help firms cut CO2 emissions

BUSINESSES across Yorkshire can now benefit from online industry support to cut costs, waste and carbon emissions through a series of new online networks.

CO2Sense Yorkshire has launched the free networks to encourage as many people as possible to sign up and become members.

Professionals can join any of more than 20 networks that have been set up to share knowledge and best practice in a number of specialist areas.

The public networks cover sectors such as carbon capture and storage, renewable energy, food and drink, plastics and woodfuel.

Private networks have also been established for local authority waste management, resource efficiency within the NHS and members of the Green Business Support Organisation.

Jeanine Willoughby, project executive for CO2Sense Yorkshire, said: “The networks have been launched to give technical advice and offer examples of best practice and to give members peace of mind they have support at just the click of a button.

“Learning from others is often the best way to solve problems, and by creating this online doorway to other professionals within specific industries, I am confident both individuals and businesses will benefit from this resource.”
