Carbon Reduction Plan

Supplier name: Kiro Tamer

Publication date: 09/08/2022

Keltbray Group Ltd (inclusive of Keltbray Energy Ltd, Keltbray Rail Ltd and Keltbray Built Environmental Ltd) is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040

Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.

Baseline Year: 2019

Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations.

Keltbray’s energy performance is managed by the environmental sustainability department and any requirement such as ESOS and SECR is all managed and signed off internally. This has allowed us to create strong systems to visualise our performance and improve our processes.

In 2020 we began working with Carbon Trust and gained the Carbon Trust Certification for our energy related activities.

Reporting Year: 2021 Baseline total supply chain related emission

Not available – the 2019 baseline was calculated by the Carbon Trust in 2022 and total Scope 3 emissions will be recalculated on a 5-year cycle. In the meantime, we have identified that 20 of our key suppliers account to 50% of our emissions and we will measure the emissions related to those suppliers on a yearly basis.

We have committed to reduce our emission in line with the 1.5ºC Paris Agreement and achieve Net Zero by 2040 and have set this commitment with the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi).

In 2022, we worked with the Carbon Trust to calculate our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and have set ourselves the economic intensity target to reduce our emissions by 40% by 2030. This will bring our total emissions down from 1,321tCO2e/£’m to 594tCO2e/£’m.

Now this has been calculated and agree by Keltbray’s board of directors, our next step is to submit to the SBTi for verification.

Carbon emission levels from 2019 to 2021:

Completed Carbon Reduction initiatives

The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2019 baseline.

– Introduction of hydrogen fuel cells for small processes such as air quality monitors and small tool charging banks

– Introduction of hydrogen and solar hybrid welfare cabins

– Roll out of telemetry to all excavators larger than 8 tonnes which allows us to review our performance and engage with our drivers in a proactive manner

– Using the data from our telemetry we have launched initiatives such as the fuel saving tournament where we award drivers with the best efficiency improvement

– Investment into Euro 6 light and heavy vehicles

– Roll out of electric vehicle charging points to all of our fixed locations

– Investment into Stage V Non Road Mobile Machinery

All major central London projects were primarily powered by a temporary building supply saving 940k litres of diesel

– We have carried out independent testing our HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and started using it on several projects, which has provided CO2 savings of up 8%

– Moved all of our electricity supply to 100% renewables

– Moved all of our gas supply to green gas

In the future, we hope to implement further measures such as:

– Roll out Stage V Non-Road Mobile Machinery and where this is not an option we will retrofit our old plant to be at least stage IIIB and V standards

– Work with suppliers to introduce the use of hydrogen in our heavy machinery and vehicles

Standardise our generators so that they are all monitored by telemetry and we eliminate under-loaded units

– Where possible connect to the grid in order to mitigate the requirement for generators

– Where connecting to the grid is not an option, all of our welfare units will be powered by a battery/CI engine hybrid set

– Work with suppliers to drive the uptake of hydrogen fuel power generation instead of ordinary generators

– Buy green only gas

– Work with design engineers and clients in order to design carbon out from a project in the first place i.e. low carbon concrete, green steel, grid connected processes etc.

– Work with our suppliers to identify which key building materials can be decarbonised via new material technologies or processes

– Roll out battery technology for our light vehicles

– Eliminate diesel from our processes

Implement PAS 2080 Carbon Management in Infrastructure to all of Keltbray’s operations

Create a Carbon Strategy to align Scope 1, 2 & 3 processes and create a clear engagement strategy for our suppliers

Scope 3 emissions account to 89% of Keltbray’s operations so it was key that we quantify such emissions and where they come from.

Having had our Scope 3 emissions calculated by the Carbon Trust, we now have a clear set of carbon hot spots for those materials and relevant suppliers which contribute to our Scope 3 emissions.

The graphic below provides an overview of how Keltbray’s operations contribute to the relevant scopes of emissions.

The table below was produced by the Carbon Trust and provides a summary of how much the different scopes and categories contribute to Keltbray’s overall emissions.

The following table shows Keltbray’s most impactful Scope 3 categories and the minimum boundary we assessed against each
