Renewable Energy
Back in 2015 Hoben International, with a desire to reduce their carbon footprint and in-line with company policy, applied for planning permission to install one wind turbine on their Brassington site.
Unfortunately, in 2016 the original application was refused due to an adjustment in government legislation that sought to reduce the amount of onshore wind farms in the UK.
Now in 2023, in-line with a new government driven initiative to make UK companies ‘greener’, Hoben International will be submitting a new proposal for the installation of two wind turbines alongside a solar panel scheme, to move the facility towards their target of a zero carbon footprint.
Over the last ten years Hoben International Ltd and the Goodwin PLC group have invested significantly to reduce their energy demands via plant efficiencies and upgrades. These changes have led to an estimated
reduction in usage by 32% to date. Hoben International are keen to become a Carbon Neutral company as part of the government’s Carbon Reduction Policy.
In 2017, Hoben emitted over 6,800T of CO2 which in 2022 was reduced to 4,828T of CO2.
With this in mind, along with Hoben International’s solar panel scheme, they are applying for the installation of two 2MW wind turbines.
