Etihad Airways Operates Environmental Best Practice Research Flights

Wed, 07 Dec 2011 14:21:10 GMT

Etihad Airways, the national carrier of the United Arab Emirates, has successfully reduced carbon emissions by a combined total of nine tonnes on two flights from Australia to Abu Dhabi.

The savings were made as a result of cooperation between Etihad Airways and various air traffic control centres on the ground that enabled the aircraft, Airbus A340s, to fly routes that took advantage of prevailing jet streams.

As a result, a combined total of 2.8 tonnes of fuel was saved on the flights, one of which departed from Melbourne, the other a flight from Sydney.

James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ Chief Executive Officer, said: “The fuel savings and reduced carbon emissions made by these flights are potentially hugely beneficial for both the aviation industry and the environment.

“In recent years, the technological advances made in aircraft navigation systems have been enormous. Aircraft are no longer reliant on ground-based navigation systems but use advanced navigation systems based on the GPS satellite constellations.

“This allows aircraft to fly an infinitely variable number of different routes between two points, subject to the agreement and approval of Air Traffic Service Providers (ANSPs).

“At Etihad Airways, we strongly advocate industry modernisation that will allow aircraft to fly to the capabilities they now have.

“If similar savings were possible just once each week for flights between Abu Dhabi and Australia, we conservatively estimate an annual reduction in carbon emissions of some 1,100 tonnes and a saving of 350 tonnes of fuel. This would represent a reduction of more than four tonnes of carbon on every flight.”

Etihad Airways has worked closely with other airlines and industry stakeholders in recent months to advance the ability of the industry to operate in a more environmentally sustainable manner.

In July this year, Etihad Airways took part in a research initiative organised by the Indian Ocean Strategic Partnership to Reduce Emissions (INSPIRE) which saw aircraft operated in a manner intended to set new standards in environmental best practice.

As well as allowing airlines to plan their flights to take advantage of beneficial jet streams – User Preferred Routings – other innovations saw aircraft using terminal gates as close as possible to runways and the nomination of secondary landing airports as close as possible to primary ones.

npower launches Climate Cops SOS with Ben Fogle

Thu, 17 Mar 2011 16:59:36 GMT

npower has launched the annual Climate Cops SOS campaign, to reward kids for improving their local environment.

The campaign is an annual competition for school kids to prove their eco credentials by running a project to help the environment in their local area. As a reward, npower will give the most deserving [c1]kids the chance to spend time with Ben Fogle at a weeklong residential Green Course run by The Outward Bound Trust at one of their centres in the Lake District.

As Ben Fogle is helping launch the campaign he recently performed a 'jog-and-dip', which is a fully clothed lake diving initiation that winners of npower's Climate Cops SOS campaign will face later this year.

As well as the 'jog-and-dip' Ben Fogle-style, the kids will embark on a range of adventurous activities, from fell walking to canoeing, giving them the chance to learn more about the great outdoors, live with minimum environmental impact and build their eco-consciousness at the same time.

Ben Fogle said: "It's been such fun to experience what the winners of npower's Climate Cops SOS will face when they first arrive at The Outward Bound Trust's Ullswater centre – it really is throwing them in at the deep end.

"npower's Climate Cops SOS gives young people the chance to make a real change in their community as well as taking part in a week of adventurous and challenging activities requiring their own energy and nothing more."

Clare McDougall, npower's head of education and community, added: "Each and every year we're impressed and inspired by the innovative and imaginative ideas the nation's 'greenagers' come up with to improve the environment in their area.

"With past npower Climate Cops SOS teens making their school litter free or getting wasted food recycled, cleaning up local rivers or organising car share schemes; we're expecting great things from 2011's contenders and know we won't be disappointed."

'Greenagers' can enter Climate Cops SOS by visiting npower's Climate Cops website.

The National Trust museum generates its own income via solar cells

Thu, 18 Nov 2010 15:19:30 GMT

The National Trust's carriage museum at Arlington Court is now generating its own income following one of the UK's largest installations of photo-voltaic (PV) cells on a historic building.

The 113 m2 installation near Barnstaple in Devon will generate up to 6.3 megawatt hours (mWh) of energy each year, saving the museum about £600 from its electricity bill and generating income of around £2,270 per year by feeding energy back into the grid.

The project has been funded by sales of National Trust Green Energy which is supplied by the charity's energy partner, npower, and raises money to support low and zero carbon energy savings projects at Trust properties.

So far 25 National Trust properties have benefited from the partnership with npower with solar panels, biomass boilers and ground source heat pumps helping generate energy and save money on fuel bills, as the Trust works towards its commitment to cut its overall energy demand by 20 per cent by 2020 and to switch to renewable energy.

The installation will also help protect the historic carriage collection in the carriage museum, which includes carriages used by royalty, with the cells helping to reduce the amount of ultraviolet light that enters the building.

Arlington Court property manager, Ana Chylak, explained: "The project involved replacing 86 panes of glass with laminates which incorporate 27 PV cells in each unit, spaced to allow 30 per cent light transmission.

"I'm really excited that these panels have now been installed. We have worked hard across the property to reduce our energy consumption and it has already really made a difference to our bills. With these panels we can make a small contribution to the power we use as well as protecting our amazing carriages."

The completion of the work comes at the same time as the Trust and npower announce the extension of their partnership for another two years.

npower spokesperson Matthew Cole, commented: "It's great that customers who choose National Trust Green Energy are getting to see these big investments in renewable energy technologies at their favourite Trust places. The new agreement means more customers can get green electricity and we'll be able to cut our carbon footprint in more Trust properties."

Erica Jobson, senior external affairs officer for the National Trust, said: "Climate change is already having a major impact on our properties and to avoid more severe damage we need to reduce our use of fossil fuels and increase our energy generation from renewable sources. By cutting our energy consumption and generating more of our heat and power from renewable sources we have more to spend on our properties, countryside and wildlife, and on giving our visitors a great experience."

About The National Trust:

Sky, WWF and Global Action Plan join forces to challenge UK schools

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 17:09:38 GMT

Sky, WWF and Global Action plan have launched a new online resource, the Sky Rainforest Rescue Schools Challenge that will challenge primary and secondary school students to reduce their carbon footprint in order to help protect the rainforest.

The Sky Rainforest Rescue Schools Challenge will encourage schools to be more aware of the food we eat, the energy we use and the stuff we buy. It will integrate into the curriculum, covering subjects such as geography, citizenship, science and numeracy. Using an array of teaching resources and interactive learning tools, teachers will be able to help their students come up with a practical plan of action tailored to their school.

Teacher, Polly Shoebridge at Lampton School, said of the challenge: "When we found out about the Sky Rainforest Rescue Schools Challenge, we jumped at the chance to be involved. The initiative is incredibly interactive and really gets the students engaged - the environment is a topic they all feel very passionate about, and the project enables students to become more aware of the issues surrounding climate change."

Each week, the team that takes the most action will receive a Flip Video Camcorder. At the end of the first challenge year, which will finish in June 2011, each team will not only receive feedback from the Sky Rainforest Rescue Schools Challenge team on how ‘rainforest-friendly’ they’ve become, but also qualify for the grand prize. The best team from each UK country and the Republic of Ireland will win their school £1,000 or 1,150 Euros for the Republic of Ireland. The overall winning team will have the opportunity to present their ideas to key political decision makers, and have the experience captured by a Sky film crew.

"Every minute of every day, an area larger than three football pitches is lost from the Amazon rainforest. It's a bit scary to think about, but there are practical ways in which schools can help. We always encourage people to take easy steps to help the environment and having worked with schools for years, we’re confident that the children who are involved now, will be better equipped to create a sustainable future. One with thriving, valued rainforests," said Trewin Restorick, CEO of Global Action Plan.

More than 700 schools in the UK and the Republic of Ireland have already pre-registered for the Sky Rainforest Rescue Schools Challenge, but it’s not too late for more schools to sign up at www.skyrainforestrescueschoolschallenge.org.

The Sky Rainforest Rescue Schools Challenge sits alongside Sky and WWF’s three year campaign to protect one billion trees in the Amazon rainforest.

Tesco win Green Retailer of the Year award

Thu, 08 Apr 2010 09:33:43 GMT

Tesco, the leading UK retailer in beers, wines and spirits, won the Green Retailer of the Year at the Drinks Business Green Awards held at the end of March.

Tesco picked up the award following a number of measures being taken by the retailer to make its packaging for alcoholic drinks as environmentally friendly as possible.

Tesco currently has 461 packaging reduction projects in beers, wines and spirits. So far, the retailer has have delivered 24,047 Metric Tonnes of BWS packaging reduction with another 8,000 MTs to be delivered in the next 6 months. Tesco has also driven the development of wines in Tetra Pak to increase their acceptability in the UK market. Tetra Pak is made of 75% paperboard, a low carbon raw material which they are working towards having 100% certified, currently by FSC. The hugely successful Tesco Value Spanish wines, packaged in Tetra Pak, have sold about 20,000 units per line per week since launch and the range was expanded to include a New World Value range from Chile in 2009.

As well as reducing packaging, Tesco has been active in driving glass reduction. Lightweight bottles have saved 5,500 MTs of glass on the retailer's Own Label wines and even lighter ones are currently being pioneered. Additionally the proportions of recycled glass in Tesco's Own Label bottles has been driven up by Tesco and now stands at 90% recycled content in green glass bottles and 35% for flint (clear glass).

Importing New World Wines in bulk and bottling them in the UK has saved 52,000 tonnes of carbon emissions. Wines are ferried from Liverpool to Manchester on barge, taking 50 lorries of the road per week, saving 700,000 miles of emissions.

Tesco is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its delivery services as well. Delivery vehicles have been fitted with black boxes which monitor fuel consumption and drivers have been given advanced training to maximise fuel efficiency.

Following the successful introduction of carbon labelling on Tesco own brand products last year, the retailer is currently developing the first ever carbon footprinted Own Label wines with Highfield Estate in New Zealand (accredited by PAS2050). These will be a NZ Sauvignon Blanc and a NZ Pinot Noir.

In an effort to spread its knowledge to its customers, Tesco is putting additional levels of information on the back labels of wine bottles. These will include details on packaging reduction, disposal (recyclability), proportion of recycled material and carbon footprinting. Tesco has points of sale in its stores to encourage people to consider green options when making their purchases.

Tesco has glass recycling stations at 680 stores, including 85 Tomra units. Customers who buy wines in Tetra Pak are able to recycle them either through their local collection or at one of Tesco's 147 on-site Tetra Pak recycling bins.

Substantial investment has been made to ensure that Tesco is able to support the consumer in making green choices by removing barriers, one of which is price. Bulk shipping is an example of a green process that reduces the costs in every part of the supply chain which means savings can be passed on to the customer, encouraging them to make sustainable choices.

About Tesco:
Tesco plc, a UK-based international grocery and merchandising retailer, is Britain's largest supplier and the world's third largest grocery retailer, by both global sales and domestic market share. Founded as a food specialist in 1929, Tesco has now expanded into diverse areas such as flowers, books, music, npower for over a year and are seeing some really exciting projects taking off. The Solar panels at Bader and Ingleby Mill Primary Schools will go a long way to reducing Carbon Dioxide production and cutting energy costs as well as raising pupil awareness of the potential of renewable energy."

npowers Climate Cops programme runs green-themed activities for schools right across the UK - and pupils from both Bader Primary School and Ingleby Mill Primary School have already taken part in a 'Climate Cops Academy' - a highly interactive day about saving energy and the planet. npower undertook an energy audit in 2008, which showed that both schools were energy efficient and would benefit from alternative methods of energy production. Both schools were prime candidates to benefit from one of npower's Climate Cops grants.

Clare McDougall, head of the Climate Cops programme, commented, "Both schools in Stockton-on-Tees enjoyed the Climate Cops Academy day and were already very good on energy efficiency. We have worked with Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council to look at other green energy measures, the PV systems will generate a substantial amount of hot water and electricity, making both schools amongst the greenest in the area."

npower's Climate Cops programme has committed £500,000 in energy efficiency measures for schools, 15 projects have been completed so far and - if all the measures are implemented - the participating schools would annually save a total of around £100,000 and 650 tonnes of CO2.

Npower funds National Trust community led project

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:36:56 GMT

An npower funded project will see two historic villages owned by the National Trust attempt to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and energy bills as part of a community led programme. The initiative, which is similar to the government's Low Carbon Community Challenge, will show how major energy efficiency improvements are achievable in homes of any age - not just modern buildings - with savings possible from the biggest mansion to the average family house.

The low carbon village pilot - supported by £600,000 funding from the National Trust's energy partner npower - is being trialled at the National Trust owned villages of Coleshill in Oxfordshire and the Wallington Estate in Northumberland. As well as funding the project, npower is also giving advice on effective energy saving tips for tenants of the properties.

The project involves 62 houses at Coleshill and 73 cottages and 14 farms at Wallington, with properties dating from the 1850s and 1750s respectively. Through community engagement, each village will decide what measures to take to reduce their carbon footprints with the added incentive of making savings to their energy bills.

Residents at Coleshill wanted to find out their current energy consumption and carbon emissions as a starting point so that any success could be measured. On assessment, the average carbon footprint for homes and appliances was 7.57 tonnes of CO2 each year, slightly higher than the national average of 6.15 tonnes.

At Wallington, the community's overall carbon footprint for heating and electricity was 879 tonnes of CO2, equating to 9.5 tonnes of CO2 per property per year. The reason for this higher emission level is because, like a third of all rural areas in the UK, Wallington is off the gas network. The village therefore has to rely on carbon-intensive oil and electricity for heating which pushes up carbon levels as well as the bills.

Celia Robbins, the National Trust's project manager at Wallington, said: "By introducing our energy efficiency measures and helping people understand their energy use we hope to make a real difference to both people's pockets and to the environment.

"Installing sheep's wool loft insulation and improving the efficiency of off-grid electricity generation will reduce Wallington's carbon footprint by more than 10%

"On advice from npower's energy advisor, we are also encouraging residents to monitor their electricity with a Smart Meter which shows how much any appliance uses every six seconds. Using the display can be quite a revelation because although electricity is invisible this helps people see exactly how much they use and the associated costs."

About npower:
npower is one of Britain's largest electricity suppliers and provides gas, electricity and related services to 6.6 million customers across the UK. npower is a market leader in renewable energy and sources the green energy for juice directly from renewable sources, at no extra cost.

npower and Zurich volunteers dig in for community ground

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:47:17 GMT

npower and Zurich, two of Swindon's largest employers, have swapped their shirts and boots for overalls and wellies, digging deep to support the development of a community environmental facility at a local primary school.

Volunteers from both npower and Zurich have been working with Rodbourne Cheney Primary School to form a 'field of knowledge', developing a variety of creative learning zones using natural and recycled materials.

The primary school has developed various areas of the field over the last year, involving members of the local community which suffers from high levels of unemployment.

Rising to the challenge, the teams set about using their working day to revamp selected areas of the field. The npower team focused on creating an outdoor seating area, with a barbeque and log seating for children to observe the surrounding wildlife, whilst Zurich created a wildflower garden, with the aim of attracting butterflies and other wildlife to the area.

The day's activities took place as part of Volunteers' Week (1 - 7 June), which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

Tony Martin, volunteer development manager at Zurich Community Trust, said: "Working together has been a rewarding experience for everyone involved. By joining forces we have been able to take on a big challenge for the school and local community."

In 2008, both npower and Zurich were awarded the prestigious Community Mark from Business in the Community (BitC), in recognition of their commitment to investing in their local communities.

Jacqui Gavin, community investment executive at npower, said: "There was some healthy rivalry on the day which only spurred the volunteers on. It was fantastic to look back at the end of the session and see what we had been able to achieve by working together."

Liz Matthews, community tutor at Rodbourne Cheney Primary School, said: "We are dedicated to developing outdoor learning spaces where the children can learn about the importance of the environment and protecting wildlife in an inspirational multi-sensory environment.

"The volunteer teams have helped to take us one step closer to achieving our vision, which we plan to open up to the surrounding community so that everyone can enjoy this wonderful space."

The teams plan to transform a dilapidated school shed into an outdoor classroom when they return for their last session in the summer.

npower volunteers care for coastline in beach clean up

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 10:58:02 GMT

A group of wildlife enthusiasts from the npower graduate scheme has been giving Welsh beaches a boost in time for the British summer, donning their wellies to clean up the coastline in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Graduates from npower's power station in Aberthaw adopted a stretch of coast and spent a day carrying out a beach clean, working to guidelines provided by the Marine Conservation Society (MCS), which is a UK charity dedicated to the protection of seas, shores and wildlife.

The group scaled the beach with a litter picking mission, helping to protect wildlife in the area and supporting the MCS's campaign for cleaner seas, by providing campaigners with information about the litter found on the shoreline.

The Graduate Volunteers Day saw npower graduates support seven projects near to its operations across the UK. As a Volunteering England initiative in support of Volunteers' Week (1 - 7 June) it is the latest drive from the organisation to encourage staff to support projects in their local community through its employee volunteering scheme.

Niall Moroney, team leader from npower, said: "Taking care of our shoreline is essential to the health of our seas and impacts greatly on marine life.

"The MCS has shown us that we can all do our part in protecting our beaches. Our work today mirrors our commitment to caring for the environment, keeping our beaches clean and safe for the next generation."

Sue Kinsey from the MCS said: "We are delighted that this beautiful piece of coast has been adopted by the team. The results of their litter sweep will be essential in helping us determine the next step in conserving the area, and is a vital indication of the state of our oceans."

In total 60 npower graduates volunteered on 4 June at projects in Swindon, Birmingham, Leeds, Didcot, Worcester and Aberthaw.
