Let’s work together
The voice of the plant-hire sector
Decarbonisation
Decarbonisation is one of the broadest and fastest moving challenges our sector faces. It can be difficult to get the right balance on what is available, viable and sustainable. The CPA stays at the forefront of the debate, representing members on Government and industry-led working groups, defining best practice, and ensuring that the inherently specialist nature of our sector is taken into account. For us, the transition to greener technologies needs to be bespoke and pragmatic. Whether you are looking to reduce emissions from your business, share your solutions with a wider audience, navigate or influence the regulatory landscape, we’re here to help.

Carbon Cutting Solutions

Coming soon…
The CPA are launching a new webpage ‘Carbon Cutting Solutions’ to showcase a variety of products available from our members that can reduce diesel consumption. The webpage aims to improve awareness of the types of solution on the market and how they work, to encourage meaningful enquiries and fair expectations.
This webspace is intended to be an evolving and ongoing piece of work, with feedback and discussion welcome. If you are a CPA member and have any products you would like to be included on the Carbon Cutting Solutions pages, please contact our Decarbonisation & Sustainability Manager: luis@cpa.uk.net
You’ll need to provide:
- A high quality image of the product
- The product name (and model number if applicable)
- A brief description of the product (maximum 600 characters including spaces)
We look forward to hearing from you!
CPA have a partnership with ESG Pro to provide members with access to support on compliance frameworks, carbon reporting and social value requirements.

UK Climate Targets
The Climate Change Committee was established under the Climate Change Act 2008 and advises the UK and devolved governments on reducing emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change. It is their role to ensure that the assessment of progress and advice provided can be evidence-based, independently assessed and long term in its advice.
The Committee is required to produce statutory reports to Government and Parliament, including Carbon Budgets, which provide ministers with advice on the volume of greenhouse gases the UK can emit over a 5 year period.
Below is a briefing note on the 7th Carbon Budget.
