SearchCleaner air and a greener future: Think Hire’s solutions for Carnell’s EcoSite
Overview
Cleaner air and a greener future: Think Hire’s solutions for Carnell’s EcoSite.
In partnership with Carnell as part of their EcoSite initiative, we successfully deployed Solartainer Versatile, Sitegrid X45 hybrid battery, and Solar Skyframe units across several key highway compound setups in 2023, including high-profile sites like the M69 Ansty and M1 J28 Pinxton Interchange.
The Think Energy Panorama remote monitoring system supported all setups and provided live data on energy usage, fuel consumption, and emissions. By replacing traditional diesel generators with our off-grid, renewable energy units, we helped Carnell dramatically reduce their carbon footprint, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter emissions.
The Results
Across all key sites, we achieved impressive reductions in both carbon emissions and harmful pollutants, along with significant operational cost savings. The project’s key statistics are as follows:
169 Tonnes CO2e Saved
65,815 Litres Fuel Saved (63% Reduction)
£60,923 Overall Project Savings
61% NOx Emissions CutAward-Winning Impact
This remarkable project didn’t go unnoticed. Carnell’s EcoSite initiative was selected as a winner at the International Green Apple Environment Awards 2024.
Better Air Quality, Healthier Worksites
These emission reductions directly impact the health of workers and nearby communities. By significantly cutting particulate matter (reduced by 63%) and NOx emissions, Carnell’s EcoSite solutions are not only protecting the environment but also enhancing the health and safety of workers who spend long hours near generators.
A Commitment to Collaboration
Our journey towards decarbonisation is strengthened by our collaborative approach. Through partnerships like the Midlands Collaborative Community’s Net Zero Working Group, we share best practices. Following Think Hire’s demonstration at the A38 Fradley compound, delivery partners such as Chevron have implemented similar solutions, achieving significant CO2 savings on their own projects.
