The Goal: 20 Million Tonnes.
As an organisation focussed on the fight against climate change, we measure our success in carbon abatement; how much we abate directly, how much we process through the energy certificates market, and how much through the projects we work on with our partners.
In 2018 we celebrated the milestone of 5 million tonnes of abatement. At that point we created a target for our team to strive for: 10 million tonnes by 2025. In 2022 we hit 6 million, 7 million in 2023, then in 2024 we hot our target of 10 million tonnes, 7 months early!
After a brief celebration there was only one thing to do; set a new target. A more ambitious target of 20 million tonnes of CO2e by 2030.
Carbon Abatement:
The reduction of the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that is produced when coal and oil are burned.
The emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide contributes to raising global temperatures and worsening the effects of climate change. In this context, carbon abatement refers to reducing these emissions to lessen the concentration of harmful gases in our atmosphere.
Calculating Our Abatement.
As Australia’s largest ACP, we generate ACCUs, LGCs, STCs, ESCs, and VEECs for energy-saving projects.
These certificates all have a carbon equivalent value, and the total cumulative of the certificates we’ve generated on behalf of our direct customers and partners is the abatement figure we celebrate.
Energy Flowing Through Our Veins.
Our team of staff in Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland devote every minute of our working days to matters relating to carbon abatement and energy efficiency.
A diverse bunch, we are all driven by the common focus of climate change, clean energy production, supporting our clients toward net zero, and low-cost, energy-efficient homes.
Founded in Melbourne back in 2007 by our fearless leader Bruce in a small home office, we now heave teams in four states. To see more about Ecovantage’s leadership, head to Our Team.
