ESOS Support - Transport
Industry
Transport
Challenge
The main challenge facing all transport operators is the growing costs of the business, including fuel. staff and vehicles. The aim of ESOS is to investigate the options to reduce that spend and save energy.
The Opportunity
Our consultants have worked with over 70 clients and in all examples we were able to identify cost and energy savings. A number of companies have now implemented those options and are realising the actual savings.
Key Service
Compliance
Airline Example
One of Europe's largest Aviation businesses worked with our lead assessor, to become ESOS compliant during Phase 1. Approximately 3 billion kWh of energy savings were identified with a cost saving of an estimated £140m+ per year.
The process involved an extensive data collection exercise, accounting for all of the aviation fuel used for all flights across the EU. A full review of all potential energy savings followed. On completion, it was possible to introduce 6 significant areas of energy saving, ranging from more effective fuel management to light weighting. All of which would result in a combined significant cost and energy saving.

The Opportunity
ESOS will provide you with several opportunities to improve your business and save money. The cost of complying is minimal in comparison to the amount you could save.
In addition ESOS provides you with:
- Identifying where you waste money. The audit identifies and costs energy savings. Most organisations find measures that can payback within a few years.
- Data that feeds other reporting. The same energy data supports Scope 1 and 2 reporting, SECR, carbon reduction plans for public tenders and net zero targets. Done properly, it means collecting the data once rather than several times.
- Actions you can act on. A board director now has to sign off the assessment. That puts energy in front of decision-makers and makes action plans more likely to be funded.
- Steps towards achieving net zero. It will help you longer term to go beyond compliance and set out a credible decarbonisation pathway.
- Risk mitigation. Missing the 5 December 2027 deadline can bring Environment Agency penalties of upto £50,000 and public naming.
