Business decarbonisation
In Spain, the sector with the highest GHG emissions is road transport, followed by industrial activities, electricity generation, and agriculture and livestock, according to the National Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory.
Decarbonising your company means genuinely reducing the emissions of your activity, not offsetting them on paper. And in most industries the bulk of those emissions sits in one specific place: heat and thermal consumption. That is where we put the focus, with a plan that lowers emissions and your bill at the same time.
We offer end-to-end decarbonisation services for businesses: we measure, prioritise the measures with a payback and deliver them, sourcing the funding that makes them profitable. No empty green promises: every action has a figure behind it.
What business decarbonisation is
Decarbonisation is the set of measures that reduce your company's greenhouse gas emissions: changing how you produce heat, improving the efficiency of your processes, electrifying where it makes sense and replacing fossil fuels with clean alternatives. It is the “reduce” part of your energy transition strategy: concrete, measurable and with a return.
Our decarbonisation plan: where to start
You start by measuring. Before proposing anything, we calculate your carbon footprint to know where every tonne comes from. With that map we prioritise: we attack the sources that emit and cost the most first, and we put a phased plan in writing with investment, savings and deadlines. So you invest in the right order, not in whatever is fashionable.
Decarbonising heat and thermal consumption
In industry, most emissions are not in electricity but in process heat. We tackle the decarbonisation of heat and thermal consumption with the levers that genuinely move the needle: heat recovery, high-temperature heat pumps, process electrification and fuel switching. It is the most technical and the most profitable work, and it is where an energy-specialised consultancy makes the difference over a generic approach.
How it is funded: CAE and grants
A decarbonisation measure that cannot find funding stays in the drawer. We match your projects with Energy Savings Certificates (CAE) and the available grants, so that savings and incentives cover a good part of the investment and shorten the payback.
Why Trébol
We decarbonise from the energy side, not from the marketing side. We understand your thermal processes, your bill and your operations, so the plan we hand you can be delivered without slowing production and with clear numbers from day one.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between decarbonisation and the energy transition?
Decarbonisation means reducing emissions; the energy transition is the full strategy that contains it and also covers cost, supply, electrification and flexibility. Here we work on the reduction part.
Where does a decarbonisation plan start?
By measuring emissions (your carbon footprint). Without that starting point you can neither prioritise nor prove the reduction.
Can you decarbonise without costs spiralling?
Yes, if you prioritise well. We start with the measures that have a payback and use CAE and grants to fund them, so the investment sustains itself through its own savings.
What emits the most in an industrial company?
Usually process heat and thermal consumption. That is why they are the focus of our plan and where the greatest reduction potential lies.
