Pollution Control
UK environmental advisers bring a comprehensive understanding of permitting processes, experience of stakeholder consultations, and expertise across the whole range of environmental science.
Environmental performance is increasingly critical to business success in the power sector. To obtain permits, it is essential to understand the demands of stakeholders and legislation and the possible physical impact of power projects. In addition, environmental risks can have a broad impact on the business.
Specialists in areas such as air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, ecology and landscape, marine environment, contaminated land and noise can provide world class analytical capability as well as practical proposals to mitigate pollution. They can also provide guidance on management and monitoring. A number of UK environmental consultants have experience advising governments on environmental regulations.
UK companies are developing an ever-widening range of cleaner fossil fuel technologies and services. UK carbon abatement technology products include cleaned, or cleaner coal; supercritical boilers, emissions control equipment and retro-fitted flue gas scrubbers.
London’s financial institutions are also leaders in the full range of carbon management services for emissions trading and carbon financing. London is the home of the world’s largest private sector carbon funds, while a number of the multilateral funds are managed through London agents.
Some of the UK companies working in pollution control are:
EcoSecurities (carbon offset and carbon management);
IT Power (consultancy in sustainable energy technologies and policy); and
Climate Change Capital (investment manager and advisor specialising in low carbon projects).
