Welcome to decarbon – energy saving solutions without the capital expenditure

decarbon offers equitable funding to help large energy users to lower their energy costs and carbon footprint.

With the introduction of the UK’s mandatory CRC Energy Efficiency scheme acting as an additional tax, and the continued forecasted rise in the unit cost of energy, the need for organisations to reduce their carbon emissions and energy costs is more important than ever.

“Increasing energy efficiency offers the greatest potential for reducing CO2 emissions over the period to 2050. It should be the highest priority in the short term.”
International Energy Agency, Energy Technology Perspectives 2010: Scenarios and Strategies to 2050 (2010)

decarbon Energy Performance Investments (EPI) is the complete funding package for an organisation's energy saving investments. decarbon EPI provides organisations with the capital and expertise to successfully improve both their environmental and financial standing without the investment risk – decarbon takes the risk.

By incentivising and sharing the benefits of energy efficiency we can accelerate carbon reduction.

Here's how we do it:

We work with organisations to provide an equitable funding solution to achieve energy and carbon reduction
Our customers share in the benefits of increased energy efficiency, reducing their energy and carbon costs from day 1
The funding is held off-balance sheet* and is repaid out of the money saved from the organisation's energy bill
Importantly funding is only repaid if energy savings have been proven by an independent energy auditor
no saving = no repayment
Once the funding is repaid, all future benefits remain with the organisation

*under current accounting rules

decarbon provides the capital and expertise, takes the risk, and shares the benefits – it’s that simple!
