Mattei urges plants to make most of Carbon Trust loans25 November 2010

Rotary vane compressor manufacturer Mattei is urging plant managers to take up the offer of interest free loans from the Carbon Trust to finance energy saving projects.

Andy Jones, Mattei general manager, says he is surprised that more companies are not taking advantage. "Since we became involved with the scheme, the number of customers taking up the offer is much lower than we anticipated. The common comment is that they believe it is almost too good to be true."

He points out that between £3,000 and £100,000 can be borrowed from the Carbon Trust for plants to purchase energy-efficient equipment, with the loan being paid back over up to four years. The organisation anticipates that the energy savings will offset the loan repayments so that the new equipment pays for itself.

"Investing in energy efficient equipment not only enables companies to reduce their carbon emissions, but they will also lower overheads and subsequently save money," insists Jones.

"The Carbon Trust loan scheme offers a solution to the problem of finding finance, and therefore makes purchasing new and more efficient equipment a much more viable option," he adds.
