Tunley Environmental has reported turnover of \u00a31.55 million for 2023-24, representing growth of more than 200% in a year.<\/p>\n
Crucial to this success has been the ports and maritime sector which accounts for more than a third of turnover.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are seeing increasing demand from ports to create a plan for greater sustainability, especially with huge funding opportunities on the horizon,\u201d said founder, Dr Will Beer.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the United States, ports can benefit from $3billion funding through the Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s \u2018Clean Ports Program\u2019 while the EU, UK and APAC also have an increasing focus on cutting maritime emissions.<\/p>\n
\u201cFunding windows are often short, so it is essential to have a plan in place. We are getting an increasing number of calls asking us to come and assess current outputs and help create that plan.\u201d<\/p>\n
One such example is Tunley\u2019s biggest ever single deal to produce a net-zero carbon emissions strategy by 2040 for Detroit\/Wayne County Port Authority in Michigan.<\/p>\n
Dr Beer said huge work was undertaken on the project in 2023 with Tunley working with multiple businesses at the port to produce a baseline emissions inventory. An initial challenge, Beer reveals, was in \u2018getting everyone together and forming collaborative relationships to build trust\u2019.<\/p>\n
A plan could then be implemented, looking at emissions from different aspects of port operations, including shipping, goods handling and trucking, then creating a timeline of targets for each.<\/p>\n
\u201cDetroit Wayne County has been a fascinating and challenging example of our work and is indicative of our ability to take on complex projects,\u201d Beer said.<\/p>\n
Construction is also a buoyant market for Tunley, accounting for around 20% of turnover. Artificial intelligence is also set to play a key role in the future operations of the business, said Beer, streamlining activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
