This Market research identifies 4 new growth sectors that are outstripping traditional UK IT markets.

Can you can compete and win your share of this market?

Cambium today publshed a detailed analysis of the CRC Performance League Table analysing in depth the top 500 CO2 Emitters.  This report provides important insights for innovative Low Carbon Suppliers seeking to help these large energy users to reduce costs and emissions.  Find out more here.

On Friday 1st July, 2011, the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) announced its preliminary proposals to simplify the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC).  These changes are significant and include frequency & pricing of allowances sale, qualification criteria, CRC supply rules, overlaps with other schemes, and range of fuels covered.
Cambium, who have been closely following the development of the CRC since early 2009, have produced two FREE Whitepapers that summarise these proposals and assess their implications for:

• CRC Participants

• Suppliers of Energy Efficiency Innovations and Services

Press release 1400 April 13^th 2011

The first (in-depth) report into the Participants of the UK CRC Energy Efficiency scheme has found that there is a wide variation and some unexpected results regarding the perceived interest in Sustainability and Carbon Management across the 19 Sub-Sectors within the Public and Private Sectors that are affected by the Scheme.  This will lead to more action by the Participants and opportunities for others to support them.

There are some revealing data and conclusions.

Strong performing Participants appear in all 19 sectors, but there are also a much larger number than expected lagging behind these Leaders.  One of the key findings is that although the Private Sector outnumbers the Public Sector by 3 to 1 in total numbers of organisations in the Scheme, the Public Sector has 2.5 times as many Participants classed as ‘Leaders’ in their attitudes to Sustainability.  Within the ‘Laggards’ segment, the Private Sector outnumbers the Public Sector by over 10 to 1.  All of these trends in all Sub-Sectors affected are examined in detail and the data provided.

The report ‘The Sustainable Innovation Opportunities Created by the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme’ (90 pages), has been launched by sustainable innovation specialists Cambium at Intellect’s HQ in London to an audience of interested groups and journalists, it provides a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the composition of the Sub-Sectors containing the 2,770 large Public and Private Sector organisations required to be in the Scheme.

This report will be of great interest to a wide range of audiences, such as Suppliers and Consultants to these organisations; Industry and Trade Bodies as well as the CRC Participants themselves; Policy makers and Influencers; Politicians and Parties; Environmental Groups; and Investors.  The report’s conclusions provide increased awareness of the unexplored market opportunities for innovations that improve Sustainability or Carbon Management amongst CRC organisations.

This Research arranges the CRC Participants into 19 Sub-Sectors and measures the level of interest in 4 key indicators for Sustainability, specifically:

•‘Sustainability‘– a measure that reveals general interest in Sustainability

•‘Carbon’ – a score indicating interest in Carbon emissions control and management

•Social Awareness’- an index of the interest level in Social and Environmental Responsibility

•‘Environmental ROI’ – an indicator of the interest in the quantification of additional financial value from investment projects in terms of environmental and social benefits

These four indicators are then used to segment each of the 19 Sub-Sectors showing their adoption rate of Sustainability activity into those who are Leaders, Early Majority, Late Majority and Laggards.

Fifteen percent of the Private Sector organisations make no mention at all of any of the above Indicators, compared to less than one percent in the Public Sector.  This finding is indicative of a lack of awareness of Sustainability, carbon management and corporate environmental responsibility in parts of the Private Sector.  The Report identifies and explores the significant differences between the Public and Private Sector attitudes to the “Carbon” Indicator and the “Social Awareness” Indicator and makes recommendations for better targeting of the market opportunity by Suppliers and other groups.

What is being said about this new report?

“We are very impressed with the detailed approach taken in this report and the granularity of information provided about the sectors that it covers.  The results suggest that there could be unexplored market opportunities for low carbon products and services and indicate where those opportunities are likely to be found. We are of course delighted to see the ICT sector performing so well in terms of sustainability leadership” – Emma Fryer, Head of Climate Change Programmes (Intellect).

“New legislation from the UK Government, in combination with leadership from highly visible large companies, is increasing the interest in low carbon “eco-innovative” technologies.  This report provides new clear insights regarding this emerging marketplace and will help eco-innovators understand how to capitalise on the sustainable innovation opportunity more effectively” – Gareth Jones, UK Centre for Economic & Environmental Development (UK CEED).

“As the energy costs of the Datacentre come under increasing scrutiny, Rackspace has invested in ever more efficient technology to ensure we can provide world class PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness).  The Cambium report has provided us with a more detailed understanding of the Enterprise market which has given greater insight into the needs of current and future customers” -  Luis Rios, Head of Sustainability and CSR ( Rackspace Hosting)

For IT innovators

In partnership with Intellect, the leading trade association for the technology sector, Cambium is running a workshop for IT innovators to help them understand and then capitalise upon the new market for energy management innovations and services that are being catalysed by the legislation.
This Workshop is also open to non Intellect members and will take place on Thursday 17th March, 2011 at Intellect’s offices in central London.  The agenda and registration details can be found here.

For CleanTech Innovators

In collaboration with the East of England Envirocluster, Cambium is running a similar event for Cleantech innovators with innovations that can mitigate the impact of the CRC on the large organisations affected by the Scheme.

This session, which is also open to non Envirocluster members, will help attendees to understand the legislation’s impact and the best way to target and approach these large companies with energy saving innovations.  This workshop will take place on Tuesday 5th April, 2011 at the Eco Innovation Centre in Peterborough (50 mins from London). The agenda and registration details can be found here.

If you have any questions regarding these events, please contact us on 0845 638 3280 or email us at: crc@cambiumllp.com
