Emissis: Addressing Climate Change and Its Founder’s Connection to the English Bluebell

Managing director Shaun Nugent founded Emissis in a bid to tackle climate change by drawing upon his electrical mechanical and cooling engineering background to develop energy-saving devices that would cut energy usage and promote sustainability.

But what inspired Shaun’s creation of Emissis? This article will explore Shaun’s passions for nature, innovation, and sustainability and examine what the future holds for this Stokesley-based company.

Emissis – The Beginning

‘Emissis’ is a blend of Greek and Latin, with central themes like emissions, energy, and reduction, a fitting name for Shaun’s vision.

The visual representation of the Emissis brand was inspired by the natural environment. While hiking, Shaun was drawn to the British Bluebell and was immediately impressed with the richly coloured flower. To Shaun, the flower was more than just a part of the landscape; it symbolised an urgency in addressing climate challenges.

By linking its identity to the colour of this emblematic flower, the Emissis brand was positioned to reflect its mission for fostering a sustainable future.

Emissis and The Journey Towards Net Zero

Emissis began its journey towards reducing carbon emissions by developing several innovative energy-saving devices that would significantly reduce energy use and help its clients combat climate change.

Since its inception in 2020, Emissis has helped many private and public sectors save energy costs and unlock the benefits of reducing carbon emissions across their operations.

The Emissis client base spans many sectors, including BAE, BP, Hays Sodexo, Network Rail, and Virgin Media.

Emissis expansion in Europe

In 2024, Emissis opened a second office in Switzerland to help European organisations benefit from its innovative energy-saving devices.

By extending its reach into Switzerland, Emissis aims to leverage the country’s strong commitment to sustainable practices and robust environmental regulations. This initiative promises to bring proven, effective energy solutions to Swiss companies, empowering them to reduce their carbon footprint while optimising energy use significantly.

What the Future Holds for Emissis

The strategic partnership with Univers fuels their vision. This collaboration is much more than an alliance; it is a powerhouse combining decades of expertise and forward-thinking solutions.

Together, they have launched enPact, an energy-saving solution to revolutionise energy efficiency. The new groundbreaking solution combines the world’s most comprehensive decarbonisation system with the unique energy-carbon-saving technology from Emissis. It promises to reduce energy consumption by up to 20%, steering companies closer to zero-carbon operations.

Organisations adopting Emissis solutions will not just be participating in reducing carbon emissions; they will be part of a broader movement towards a sustainable future that will benefit present and future generations.
