The public sector spends £3bn a year on building energy use, and
a further £1.3bn on transport fuel. For over ten years the Carbon
Trust has been working closely with the public sector to help them
reduce energy spend without impacting on services, helping them to
take action on resource efficiency and climate change.
Each year the Carbon Trust runs a number of collaborative
programmes for the public sector. In 2011-12 alone the Carbon Trust
worked with 94 large public sector bodies on carbon management
programmes, identifying nearly 300,000 tonnes of CO2 savings and
achieving energy cost reductions of £56 million a year.
