Centrica

Our Net Zero team had the opportunity to spend the day volunteering at the Woodside Animal Centre - RSPCA Leicestershire, peterborough & Rutland animal centre 🐈🐕 To give back to the amazing staff who dedicate so much of their time and energy caring for the animals, the team was tasked with enhancing the staff room. They painted the walls, built some new tables from scaffold planks, and mounted a TV all to create a more relaxing space! A huge thank you to our volunteers and the staff at RSPCA Woodside who dedicate their time to such an important cause. We've committed to inspire our colleagues to give 100,000 days to build inclusive communities by 2030 as part of our People & Planet Plan.

Providing more support is the key to unlocking the Net Zero Home 🏡 🔓 As British Gas publishes the third annual Net Zero Action Rankings, Dan Rosenfield, Managing Director of Centrica Net Zero has called for greater collaboration between Governments, NGOs, and businesses to help Britain’s homeowners better understand the types of technologies that can give them greener homes, and increase Britain’s energy security. The Rankings show that 8 out of 10 UK homeowners are willing to make changes to their home to help tackle climate change, but need greater support and a simplified Government grant scheme to turn this enthusiasm in to action.

Our Group CEO Chris O'Shea has welcomed the Government's £22bn funding commitment to kickstart a new carbon capture usage and storage (CCUS) industry across the north of England. The UK has some of the greatest geological storage potential of any country in the world, and with the right investment could create thousands of well paid jobs in this critical part of the energy transition. Spirit Energy has plans to transform the Morecambe Bay gas fields into the largest single carbon storage facility in the UK and Centrica Energy Storage + plans to convert Rough into the world’s largest hydrogen storage site. We are committed to working with Government on unlocking further investment in these climate-critical technologies. #CarbonCapture #Hydrogen #CCUS #EnergyTransition

We joined British Gas Energy Trust at a recent roundtable in Newcastle. Representatives from Citizens Advice joined organisations from across the north east to discuss interventions that could support those experiencing fuel poverty. A common theme was the importance of providing face-to-face support. Many of the frontline organisations shared instances of successful intervention after taking services into well-known community hubs, as individuals felt more comfortable to ask for help in a familiar space. The Trust is now 20 years old, and since 2004 has contributed over £200 million in donations, helping more than 2.2 million people across the UK. Find out more here👉 https://lnkd.in/dxAzFnM
