The Net Zero Award

Since joining Scottish Woodlands in 2021, Emma has become one of the ‘go to’ people in the carbon world, helping the company to become the UK’s largest carbon developer. She has striven to make the topic of carbon accessible and her analysis of the moving parts of the carbon market is second to none. Emma’s input in this field is instrumental in driving net zero conversations forward.

Over the course of the next three years, around 225,000 tonnes of timber will be shipped across the Firth of Clyde to wood processors based in Ayrshire, instead of using timber lorries. This haulage by boat option reduces emissions markedly and is only offered by ABP through the TimberLINK service. In 20 years of operation, TimberLINK has saved more than 40,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
