At PACE we have made progress towards more sustainable operations, however we acknowledge our Scope 1 and 2 emissions remain high compared with other industries. In the coming years, we will continue to develop and prioritise our roadmap to net zero. In 2023 our scope 1 & 2 emissions reduced by 13% year-on-year, and by 17% year-on-year in terms of our carbon intensity metric (tCO2e per £million revenue). This indicates that although our business is growing, our emissions are not. 2023 was a year of small, medium and large actions aimed at reducing our emissions. These included integrating the EDL Lymington business into PACE and not continuing to lease the Lymington site, reducing and/or replacing ageing CNC equipment, replacing ageing heat treatment ovens with a modern unit, continuing to replace fluorescent lighting with LED lighting within the factory, optimising heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems and upgrading some electrical systems to improve efficiency. 2024 will see the introduction of a new electric kiln (as previously reported), an assessment of the impact of solar panels, assessing heat recovery options, improving insulation, as well as the ongoing maintenance and discipline regarding efficiency such as checking airlines for leaks and keeping doors and curtains closed during winter. Our focused efforts in 2023 combined with the support of our employees, has enabled us to make great progress in continuing to understand and manage our CO2 emissions and we look forward to continuing this in 2024 and beyond.

To achieve a sustainable world, no leader can stand alone. In a recent presentation at the Future of Electrification 2024 conference, Luca Vezzadini, Application Engineer at ZIVAN, drove this point home through the lens of a unique topic: engineering vision. 💡 A greener, smarter future lies at the intersection of innovation and sustainability, but some questions need to be addressed first. Where are we going with electrification, and how do we get there? These questions are of particular interest for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in off-road machinery. As electrification sees slower adoption in these sectors, the principles behind engineering vision offer profound insights into the tangible benefits of aligning with sustainability initiatives.

What's more rewarding than upgrading some really old assets. Of course the upfront cost is a big factor but how does this compare in the grand scheme of things? I would love to know how much energy could have been saved just thinking about it? 🤔 In the latest article from the Water Industry Journal, George Dodwell emphasises the importance of proactive maintenance in the water sector. With sustainability and reliability in mind, adopting a forward thinking approach to resilient infrastructure is more critical than ever.

Sustainable and Smart Hydraulics. Electrified hydraulics provide an efficient way to power mobile machinery using smarter solutions. Advanced systems that conserve energy by activating only the necessary hydraulic components and running them in an optimized way. Electrifying hydraulics reduces energy consumption and dependence on harmful fuels, creating a sustainable work environment. It also lowers harmful emissions and noise, benefiting both operators and urban areas. Choosing electrified hydraulics means lowering running costs, conserving energy, and enhancing controllability.

As sustainability goals become a focal point for businesses, the role of electric equipment in reducing emissions is undeniable. The recent discussions around charging solutions highlight key questions faced by managers, especially in industries reliant on heavy machinery. Our partnerships and pilots with leading OEMs in the construction industry showcase the practicality and impact of electric solutions. At the construction site of our new gigafactory, we piloted a mobile battery unit that efficiently charged Komatsu’s 20-ton electric excavator, enabling it to work for 8 hours without interruption. This not only reduces fuel consumption but also significantly cuts down emissions. Our Moxion MP-75 mobile battery, designed to replace diesel generators, is a game-changer in providing clean and reliable power. With 75kW of power and over 600kWh of energy, it offers a sustainable alternative without compromising performance.

PJ Diesel Engineering is now PJ Circular Engineering! Driven by our commitment to the circular economy and our slogan of "Creating More by Using Less" in the maritime industry, we're excited to announce a transformative step in our journey. PJ Diesel Engineering is now PJ Circular Engineering - a name that embodies our dedication to climate responsibility and remanufacturing for over 45 years. Why Circular? We believe that remanufacturing is not just a practice, but the pillar of our identity. Our approach to remanufacturing, evident in our turbocharger, governor, and four-stroke exchange program, highlights our commitment to extending the life cycle of engine components. Our Mission: The transition to PJ Circular Engineering marks more than a name change. It showcases our dedication to reducing the carbon footprint across the maritime supply chain. By focusing on green transition through remanufacturing, we aim to significantly minimize Scope 3 emissions for our customers, supporting them in their journey towards a more climate-friendly maritime future. What Changes? Beyond the name, our business model has evolved to enhance our service delivery. Transitioning to a workshop-centric approach allows us to optimize overhaul times and minimize downtime for our customers while increasing efficiency. Looking Ahead: As the maritime industry diversifies its energy sources, embracing methanol, hydrogen, LNG, and electricity, PJ Circular Engineering is prepared for this change. Our expertise now extends far beyond traditional fossil fuels, ready to support the industry's shift towards alternative and greener energy forms.

🌍 Decarbonizing construction machinery is critical to achieving global climate goals. Did you know excavators alone contribute to 50% of the industry's 400 million metric tons of annual CO₂ emissions? 🚜 At Dig Robotics, we're aligning with insights from Danfoss to drive change. By adopting energy-efficient technologies and exploring electrification, we aim to optimize performance, reduce fuel consumption, and cut emissions. Together, we can build a greener future. 🌱 https://lnkd.in/dZCAUEnj #Decarbonization #Sustainability #ConstructionInnovation #Danfoss #Excavators

The manufacturing industry is a powerhouse that literally builds the world - but this can also create very high emission levels that threaten the environment. However, fossil-free worksites like this one are popping up globally, creating hope that this vital field can balance productivity with sustainability. #fossilfree #emissions #manufacturing #sustainability https://lnkd.in/ePE--ziE
