The Department for Transport began discussions with the Carbon Trust in June 2007, and commenced a targeted approach, concentrating on the main energy using areas of the Department identified in the Sustainable Development in Government Report.
This resulted in the completion of a Carbon Management Energy Efficiency Report in January 2008, which made recommendations to the Department on those areas where the greatest energy (carbon emissions) savings might be made.
The Department for Transport will consult the Carbon Trust to determine the best next steps. The main objective of working with the Carbon Trust will be to continue improving the sustainable performance of the Department for Transport estate.
