About Us

The E-CO2 Project is the UK's leading provider of on-farm energy and carbon auditing.

A joint venture between CMS UK Services and Kite Consulting, we have significant experience throughout the food supply chain and have worked with a large number of the UK's leading food processors and retailers.

Our assessments are accredited to PAS 2050, the industry standard for carbon assessment. Our life-cycle assessment is reported per unit of output, and we offer advice to clients helping them to improve environmental performance in a practical and sustainable way whilst benefiting from potential cost savings.

Why measure carbon output?

There is increasing pressure on all aspects of the food supply chain to reduce their carbon footprint, particularly livestock production.

Government policy is driven by the Kyoto Protocol - the goal of which is to see participating countries collectively reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases below the emission levels of 1990 by 2012.

The UK government has also established a clear position on carbon emissions through its 'Food 2030' report and there is also increasing pressure from consumers for the UK food supply chain to demonstrate a pro-active approach to this issue.

Although voluntary at present, we are encouraging our clients to lead environmental issues rather than be driven towards targets.  This is a positive marketing opportunity for clients and allows them to be seen as environmentally responsible.
