Costa Coffee is one of the leading coffeehouse chains in the world and the largest in the United Kingdom. The British multinational coffeehouse company has over two and a half thousand stores all over the world with over 1,800 in the UK and have recently opened the first ‘Zero Energy’ coffee shop in the UK.
Combined Heat and Power, also known as cogeneration or CHP, is an extremely efficient process that harnesses the heat that is produced when energy is generated. By generating heat and power together, carbon emissions can be reduced by up to 30% by replacing heat that would otherwise be normally supplied by boilers.
The Climate Change Levy (CCL) is a government tax, applied to energy use, and is designed to encourage businesses to be more energy efficient, therefore reducing their carbon emissions and their impact on the environment.
