About Us
Bristol Carbon and Net-Zero Consultancy with over 12 years experience
Greener Energy Futures was set up in response to the Climate Crisis - “what could be practically done to ‘shift the dial’ on change?”
Our realisation was that one organisation alone can only make so much difference. Our purpose lies in the ability to scale change, through our interactions with others. Thus we create positive ‘tipping points’ or ‘virtuous circles’, whereby our small lever effects much bigger change.
We shift the dial on change in two ways:
By choosing to work with organisations who have significant carbon emissions and who want to reduce them, we see significant reductions in emissions.
By helping train and develop the next generation of climate allies through internships and recruitment.
By March 2026, Greener Energy Futures has helped dozens of organisations to understand, identify and enact carbon reduction plans, totalling over 2000 tonnes of CO₂ saved annually, which is equivalent to that of 100 individuals per year.
In addition to this, we have also helped 26 young people develop their skills in carbon reduction supporting a new generation of climate champions.

Because clients often have specialist needs, we work with trusted partners when required to develop deeper and more useful insights for them, including the following experts:
Jeremy Carter has worked in energy reduction since 2010, first in the Public Sector where he was nominated for Energy Manager of the Year, then for a large Bioscience Institution and since 2025 has been exclusively an independent energy consultant, working with hundreds of organisations to help them save energy, “Saving Energy Everywhere I Go” is his motto, and he’s helped many of our clients make substantial savings.
Dr. Ben Lane is a pioneer in carbon reduction and sustainable fleets. Having co-founded the UK EV charging app, Zapmap, more recently he has worked with International expert Mike Berners-Lee at Small World Consulting and now operates independently through Ecolane EV providing carbon audits and emissions reduction strategies for vehicle fleets.
