2024 Environmental Report
Current Initiatives To meet the UK’s legally-binding target to be net zero across the economy by 2050, the government declared that all electricity should be generated from ‘clean’ sources by 2035. Accordingly, we have been transitioning away from using diesel in our event generators to HVO fuel, a renewable biofuel source which can reduce net reportable emissions by up to 90%. In 2024, we used 1347 litres of HVO to power our generators, reducing our emissions by 3.3 t CO2e compared to diesel fuel. We have also introduced hybrid energy systems at some events which are HVO fuelled generators integrated with a battery storage unit. These offer the additional benefit of only running when the battery needs charging, rather than running continuously
Unable to compare diesel usage in 2023 vs 2024 due to Data Gaps.
