Fabricator Dudley’s Aluminium has taken a significant step towards net zero at its Cardiff site, having installed 192 high-efficiency solar panels on its production facility.

The firm partnered with Inspire Green, a renewable energy company serving south Wales and south-west England. The project also included solar electric vehicle charging technology.

The system will help Dudley’s Aluminium decarbonise its operations, reducing emissions from electricity generation by 77%. The panels will supply approximately 60% of the site’s electricity going forward. The installation supports the fabricator’s net zero aspirations by saving 17.15 tonnes of CO² annually.

This latest move follows the introduction of hybrid company cars in 2024 as part of the fabricator’s corporate carbon reduction policy.

Green requirements

Pablo Shorney, Dudley’s finance director, says: “As part of a carbon intensive sector, it is vital that we take steps to reduce our emissions and manufacture our solutions sustainably. In addition to complying with green requirements within the supply chain and working on projects targeting excellent sustainability standards, we are proactively decarbonising our operations through a range of measures.

“It has been great to work with Inspire Green on the successful solar installation on site which will make a significant impact on our sustainability journey.”
