ISS Facility Services is to work with its client, the professional services firm PwC, to collect and re-use waste cooking oil as a carbon-friendly energy source.
The oil will power PwC buildings and offices in London, with each litre of fuel used calculated to save 2.6kg of CO2.
An estimated 20,000 litres of used oil per annum will be converted into bio-diesel. When running at full capacity, this programme will provide up to 25% of electricity for PwC’s London facilities including its main headquarters.
Jon Barnes, Head of Building and Facilities Services at PwC, commented, “Our partnership with ISS allows us to constantly source innovative solutions for managing our facilities.
'This oil recovery initiative will, for example, power our lighting and electrical devices. The programme gives our people first-hand experience of how we’re all helping to improve sustainability.”
