How we can help reduce your emissions

Individual

Bideford Carbon Co-op runs the decarbonisation hub in Bideford, manned by volunteers. We educate individuals on the climate crisis and how to reduce their carbon footprint. Bideford Carbon Co-op also offers Carbon Credits, a scheme to help those who are unable to reduce their own footprint, reduce carbon output globally.

Business

Atlantic Community Energy provides renewable energy to businesses, by allowing us to use their roofs to install solar panels we can provide reduced energy cost to businesses while helping reduce the carbon output. ACE will also provide an energy club to those eligible, helping to provide lower cost energy to those at the same substation and guaranteeing it comes from renewable sources.

Government

Many local councils and parishes have declared a climate emergency, but many lack the knowledge to meet their net zero carbon target date. Bideford Carbon Co-op provides full decarbonisation reports, individually tailored showing how local governments can reduce their carbon inline with their target date.
