In the past year of 2023, our company achieved several significant milestones that helped advance our services and propel us forward. What were our focus areas in 2023, and what new endeavors do we have in store for 2024?
Sustainability Certification and Reporting: Throughout the year, we diligently worked on obtaining and maintaining sustainability certifications for our clients. These certifications are often essential for successful business operations, enhancing their market position and competitiveness. In addition to sustainability certification matters, we also processed reports for our clients to demonstrate the sustainability of their businesses to relevant authorities.
Supporting Biogas Production: One of the highlights of the past year was the successful launch of biogas production at the Prague Waterworks and Sewerage and at Compag in Mladá Boleslav. For both of these projects, we assisted in developing production strategies and obtaining necessary certifications. Our activities in this area also included audits of previously established biogas production units in Rapotín and Horní Suchá.
Increasing Interest in Biomethane: In 2023, we observed a sharp rise in interest in the economic viability studies of upgrading biogas plants to produce biomethane. This interest extended to companies not only in the Czech Republic but also in Slovakia, Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine.
Product Carbon Footprint Analyses: During the past year, we began conducting product carbon footprint studies according to the GHG Protocol methodology. This proactive approach contributes to monitoring and reducing greenhouse gas emissions for our clients.
Consultations and New RED III Directive: A significant portion of our activities in 2023 consisted of consultations regarding all the novelties related to biomass energy production, including the planned launch of the new Union Database (UDB), the new RED III directive, and other legislative changes. We endeavored to provide our clients with current and comprehensive information to effectively address new challenges and opportunities in sustainability.
Team Expansion: We are pleased to announce that our team has expanded with new colleagues who have brought fresh ideas, skills, and energy. This expansion enables us to better respond to market needs and strengthen our innovation capabilities. One of the goals for this year is to further expand our consulting services in the area of non-financial corporate reporting (ESG).
Overall, it can be said that the past year was full of successes, new projects, and development for us. We are firmly committed to continuing our efforts for sustainable development and contributing to a better environment in the upcoming period.
