ESOS     Transportation  Energy  Consumption  

The  Governments  new  compliance  legislation,  the  Energy  Savings  Opportunity  Scheme  (ESOS)  key  focus  is  to  identify  areas  of  significant  energy  consumption  across,  buildings,  industrial  processes  and  transport.  It  includes  those  assets/activities  that  use  90%  of  the  measured  total.  De  minimis  energy  consumption  (the  remaining  10%)  -­‐  No  compliance  action  is  required  in  relation  to  this.

ESOS     What’s  the  relevance  to  fleet?  

Business  energy  use  of  company  and  grey  fleet  vehicles  falls  within  the  scope  of  ESOS.    The  inclusion  of  ‘grey  fleet’-­‐privately  owned  cars  used  for  business  related  business  is  a  clear  indicator  that  the  regulators  recognise  the  environmental  impact  of  these  older  vehicles.    

There  are  an  estimated  14  million  privately  owned  vehicles  that  are  used  for  work  purposes,  with  9  million  being  used  on  a  regular  basis  for  business  purposes.

What  aspects  of  Transportation  does  ESOS  include?    

Included                                                                              Excluded                                                                          Optional          

• Transport  that  is  owned  or  leased  by  the  business  and  is  paying  the  fuel  bill.    

• Rail,road  haulage,aviation  and  shipping.  

 • Company  cars  and  ‘grey  fleet’.    • International  shipping  and  aviation  

o Energy  associated  with  departures  from  and  arrivals  in  UK.  Can  include  more  (e.g.  if  this  is  administratively  easier).    

• International  road  and  rail  o Energy  associated  with  

proportion  of  journeys  in  UK.  Again,  can  include  more.  

         

• Travel  on  company  business  that  is  purchased  through  contractual  arrangements  for  transport  services.    

• Tickets  purchased  or  subcontracted  transport.  

 • Staff  commuting.  

 • Where  transport  has  been  

outsourced  through  a  contractual  arrangement  and  the  organisation  is  no  longer  paying  the  fuel  bill.      

           

• Implement  eco2  Sustainable  Mobility    Programme  designed  to  help  you  to  reduce    your  fleet  operating  costs  and  achieve  your  environmental  and  social  objectives.    

• Implemention  of  eco2  SMP  can  result  in  fuel,  mileage  and  emissions  reductions  measures  –  potential  reduction  of  30%)

pellentesque:  

What  do  you  need  to  do?  

• Businesses  can  submit  previous  transportation  audits  or  reviews.  Gather  any  existing  audit  data.      

o Green  Fleet  Review,  Fleet  Health  Check,  Fleet  Carbon  Audit.  o Freight  Transport  Association  Logistics  Carbon  Reduction  Scheme.  

 • Calculate  over  a  reference  period  of  12  consecutive  months  (include  

the  qualification  date  and  end  before  the  compliance  date)  the  total  transport  energy  consumption:          

o Fuel  used  in  company  cars  on  business.  o Fuel  used  in  fleet  vehicles  that  you  operate  on  business  use.  o Fuel  used  in  personal/hire  cars  on  business  use.  o Fuel  used  in  private  jets,  fleet  aircraft,  trains,  ships,  drilling  platforms  

that  you  operate.    

• Collate  business  expenses  claims.    

o When  calculating  total  energy  consumption  from  transport  activities,  you  may  estimate  energy  consumption  from  other  verifiable  data  (e.g.  expenditure)  where  you  do  not  have  actual  usage  data  (e.g.  litres).  For  instance,  you  could  use  the  number  of  expensed  miles  multiplied  by  an  average  fuel  consumption  factor  to  estimate  the  usage.  Expensed  mileage  can  be  converted  into  energy  use  by  applying  standard  conversion  factors.

Key  areas  to  review    

• Fuel  consumption.  • Transport  and  Logistics  planning.  • Cost  effective  transport  fit  for  purpose  cost  and  the  environment.  • Vehicle  policy  and  efficiency.  • Company  car  policy.  • Fleet  management  (including  Grey  Fleet  Management).  • Fuel  management  systems  and  processes.  • Employee  travel  planning  and  car  sharing.  • Routing  and  scheduling.    • Driver  behavioural  factors.  • Mileage  reduction  strategies.  • Employee  awareness,  engagement,  communication  and  targeted  incentives.

What  areas  of  energy  use  does  ESOS  cover?  

The  Scheme  covers  three  main  areas  

 

All  energy  use  in  buildings  is  included  in  ESOS.  

Assessors  are  given  discretion  as  to  how  many  sites  they  visit.  

ESOS  assessments  should  cover  all  industrial  use  of  energy,  including  where  it  is  directly  produced  by  an  organization.  

Energy  consumed  for  the  purposes  of  transport  means  energy  used  by  a  road  going  vehicle,  a  sea  going  vessel,  an  aircraft  or  a
