Decarbonisation Strategy
Ennovus Solutions work with businesses to deliver site specific roadmaps to decarbonisation through engineered solutions across renewable generation, energy efficiency, and thermal decarbonation. By assessing technologies across the sustainable sphere, a decarbonisation strategy can assess the suitability of technologies for a site and the optimal technology mix, designed for the biggest carbon and cost savings.

Decarbonisation plans for businesses
Many businesses across the UK are looking to increase their energy security and decarbonise their sites. To do this effectively a strategy is needed to ensure sustainable assets installed are fit-for-purpose in the overall long term integrated design. Speak to our expert team to see how we can help build a site decarbonisation plan for your business.
What is included in a decarbonisation strategy?
A decarbonisation strategy is a site-level holistic engineering feasibility study that delivers a site specific action plan to implement sustainable energy technologies.
Through our in-house audit and engineering team, we’ll conduct a full site energy audit, review opportunities for energy and carbon savings, and develop an integrated system design. We understand that the financial performance is inherently important, and as such we’ll provide a detailed forecasted cashflow and recommended project phasing to suit your business’s financial position and goals.
Our process
Our standard process follows four key stages from energy audit, to assessing technologies and developing a robust integrated solution, through to the final roadmap recommendations. Once we have delivered the decarbonisation strategy, we can work with your business to translate the roadmap into reality.
01
Site energy audit
A commercial energy audit serves as a health check for your site, assessing all energy consumers and areas for improvement. This provides a ‘shopping list’ of measures to reduce your energy consumption and carbon footprint.
02
Integrated system design
The measures, as identified via the energy audit, will enter into a technology appraisal to understand their technical and commercial viability. Multiple integrated measures will be analysed together to find the optimal technology mix for the site.
03
Financial modelling
The turnkey cost for the integrated system design and longer term cashflow will be developed. The detailed forecasted cashflow and recommended project phasing will aim to best suit your business’s financial position and goals.
04
Delivery roadmap
This is the key output of the site decarbonisation strategy, clearly detailing a robust plan of when technologies need to be implemented to meet the site’s energy and carbon reduction targets. The plan will also include a more granular schedule for each technology highlighting any upfront feasibility work, specialist surveys, and permits & permissions required before implementation.
The benefits of a site decarbonisation strategy
Not sure why your business could benefit from a decarbonisation plan? Check out some of the benefits of a site decarbonisation strategy below or get in touch with our team to discuss your options.
Alignment of goals
A decarbonisation plan aligns technical options with financial, operational and carbon goals, providing a clear phased roadmap for action.
Maximise system efficiency
A decarbonisation strategy looks at how a collection of technologies can benefit a business, rather than analysing systems in isolation.
Investment roadmap
The roadmap’s financial cashflow will enable stakeholders to project capital and operational spend allowing a more robust budgeting.
The importance of a decarbonisation strategy
Many businesses are turning to renewable generation or energy efficiency measures to tackle their energy usage and operational spend. However, it is commonly overlooked at how investing in one sustainable technology can have a knock-on effect on another technology. For example, LED lighting will reduce a site’s electricity consumption, a heat pump would increase the site’s electricity consumption, and the sizing of a solar PV array or wind turbine is dependent on the electricity consumption.
A decarbonisation plan, enables businesses to phase implementation projects and size renewable generation and sustainable assets such that they will be fit-for-purpose in the overall long-term integrated system design.

Got a question about site decarbonisation strategies?
Check out our FAQs below, or reach out to one of our friendly team for more information.
What is a decarbonisation strategy?
A decarbonisation strategy is a site-level holistic engineering feasibility study, conducted by our in-house audit and engineering team, that delivers a site-specific action plan to implement sustainable energy technologies. The decarbonisation plan aims to align technical options with financial, operational and carbon goals, providing a clear roadmap for action.
What does decarbonisation mean?
Decarbonisation involves reducing reliance on fossil fuels and moving to renewable energy sources. This could include electrifying heating demands, reducing energy consumption through efficiency upgrades, or offsetting your business’s electricity consumption through on-site renewable generation.
What is the difference between a site decarbonisation strategy and a net zero pathway?
A decarbonisation strategy is a technical site level engineering feasibility study, looking into very tangible implementation solutions. For those businesses wishing to build out a wider carbon reduction strategy for their full portfolio or group, Consultus Sustainability’s award winning Net Zero Pathway is a great solution and compliments our decarbonisation strategies.
