Lorien Engineering Solutions has won the Low Carbon Business Growth Award at the MEBC Business Success Awards 2013.
The company won the award in recognition of the way it has grown its Carboneering services, which focus on helping clients to drive improvements in resource and energy efficiency, provide renewable energy, and reduce and recycle waste.
They include monitoring energy market trends through the Lorien Energy Index, reducing the amount of water and energy used in food and drink manufacturing, renewable schemes for heritage properties and waste treatment technologies for both manufacturers and recycling companies.
To date Lorien has worked with more than 50 National Trust properties and the Crown Estate, providing advice and project management on schemes including biomass, water source heat pumps and district heating networks.
A low carbon project for Kellogg's has seen Lorien help the organisation make energy savings in the region of £1.5m per annum, and a CO2 reduction of 9,000 tonnes through a process of heat recovery from jet zones and dryers.
Lorien's sustainability business development manager Oliver Jenkins said: 'The low carbon sector is a vital growth area for Lorien, and we are delighted to be recognised with an MEBC award.'
