Lynch Carbon Exercise on the journey to net zero

At Lynch, we are on a journey to net-zero carbon, One of our crucial objectives is to educate, collaborate, promote data transparency, and increase on-site productivity for our customers and other stakeholders.

Our sector relies on heavy machinery, with limited availability of hybrid, electric and/or hydrogen-powered alternatives, and not all infrastructure sites are set up to maintain the operation of hybrid and electric machines during their hire period.

So, we decided to use two major resources we do have – our people and our data, in a three-month trial.

The goals were:

• Reduce idling, fuel consumption, CO2 emissions on site and costs to the customer
• Educate drivers on their carbon footprint and environmental impact
• Promote Data transparency by providing data to clients to help them reduce costs and meet their net-zero targets quicker

Using a blend of telematic data and enhanced driver training, we were able to:

• Reduce idling from 41% to 24%
• Reduce average CO2 consumption per day by 46%
• Reduce fuel consumption from 17,124L in November to just 7,944L in January – equating to a cost-saving of over £10,000
