Regulatory News:
The Eurotunnel Group (Paris:GET) is delighted to have retained
the prestigious, independently awarded Carbon Trust Standard
certification for its Fixed Link following its policy and success
in reducing its carbon footprint for the period 2015-2016.
In order to retain the certification, the Fixed Link had to
satisfy a number of criteria and reach a series of objectives,
including the reduction of carbon footprint by more than 7.3%, a
goal which Eurotunnel out-performed with a reduction of almost 9%1
for the period 2015-2016 compared to 2012-20132.
During the course of these two years, three major initiatives
were taken which enabled the company to continue its ongoing
efforts:
- Concentration of electrical energy
supply from the continent (98% in 2016), using energy that is 7
times less carbon generating compared to the UK.
- Replacement of the Halon gas used in
all technical rooms inside the Tunnel with Novec, a gas that is
7,000 times less carbon generating
- Replacement of the cooling system at
Sangatte.
Michel Boudoussier, Eurotunnel Chief Operating Officer,
stated: “Each year since its opening, Eurotunnel has been fully
committed to reducing its carbon footprint. At a time when the
environmental impact of a transport system is an important element
in customer purchasing decisions, validation of our efforts by the
Carbon Trust Standard brings an additional competitive
advantage”.
1 Exactly 8.6%2 Comparison possible through the application of
the "Banking Rule”.
