CFP Energy works across Europe, providing the building and construction industries with a range of solutions to decarbonise major developments in the immediate and long-term future.
CFP Energy can supply a range of sustainable fuels, renewable energy solutions, and financial services to help you reduce shipping.
Construction firms can use green certificates to verify renewable electricity used on-site and in offices. This reduces Scope 2 emissions, supports planning compliance, and demonstrates commitment to low-carbon construction practices to clients and regulators.
Replacing diesel with HVO or other biofuels in construction machinery reduces on-site emissions without requiring new equipment. This supports emissions reduction, air quality improvement, and compliance with local low-emission zone requirements.
Construction businesses with long-term operational energy needs — like precast plants or modular facilities — can use PPAs to secure renewable electricity, reducing lifecycle emissions and supporting net zero building certification or sustainable supply chain requirements.

The EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) affects construction by increasing carbon costs for materials like steel and cement. Developers and contractors must account for embedded carbon and prioritise low-emission materials and supply chains to mitigate financial and regulatory risks under ETS compliance.
Sustainable construction refers to designing, building, and maintaining structures using environmentally responsible practices. It includes minimising resource use, lowering carbon emissions, and ensuring energy efficiency across the lifecycle—supporting climate targets, regulatory compliance, and long-term asset resilience in the built environment.
Achieving carbon neutral construction involves reducing embodied and operational emissions through low-carbon materials, efficient design, renewable energy use, and offsetting unavoidable emissions. Whole-life carbon assessments and sustainable procurement are critical to delivering net zero construction projects across infrastructure and real estate.
Net zero in construction means that the total greenhouse gas emissions produced during construction, operation, and eventual decommissioning are fully eliminated or offset. It requires lifecycle carbon accounting, sustainable material choices, and integration of on-site renewables and energy efficiency technologies.
Key regulations include the EU ETS, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), the EU Taxonomy for Sustainable Activities, and national building codes mandating energy efficiency and carbon reporting. Compliance drives low-carbon construction, supports funding eligibility, and ensures alignment with EU climate goals.
