JRP's Net Zero and Sustainability Experts are speaking out to challenge 8 of the most common Net Zero Myths. Our Net Zero Myth 7: “We need new technologies before we can significantly reduce emissions from heating, lighting and power.” JRP's Principal Energy Consultant Simon Matthews, explains why we don’t need to wait for the magic wand of new technologies.
This is the 7th in our series of video blogs dispelling 8 common Net Zero Myths. Here are all the blogs for you to view and share with colleagues:
Myth 1:
“The UK only accounts for just over 1% of the World’s emissions so we can’t really do much to make a difference”. Director George Richards takes the sceptics head on. View
Myth 2:
“We can reduce our emissions a bit but then we can just offset the rest to reach Net Zero.” Sustainability Director Carol Somper outs the offsetting greenwashers. View
Myth 3:
“We have reduced our energy level and production emissions and so we must be nearly at Net Zero.” Senior Net Zero and Sustainability Consultant Elinor Kershaw gives a clear and concise explanation of why most of your organisation’s emissions are likely to be beyond your direct energy use and production.
