Fuel offset

1,100 tonnes CO₂-e

In 2005/06, the Department of Further Education, Employment, Science and Training, (DFEEST), began to offset the carbon emissions from its long term vehicle fleet. Since 2006/07, our entire long term vehicle fleet has been offset with Greenfleet Australia.

DFEEST has approximately 220 vehicles that travel over 4.8 million kilometres per year in providing its core business of developing the state's workforce, skills base and lifelong learning opportunities.

We have approximately 3,400 staff that are located across more than 60 sites throughout South Australia, and are strongly committed to reducing our impact on the environment. Our collaboration with Greenfleet is a win-win for all participants and encourages re-vegetation of depleted native forests in South Australia.

The department continues to increase its alternate fuelled vehicle fleet and has approved new policy which mandates where appropriate, vehicles to have duel fuel capability and also added focus to use more 4 cylinder vehicles in the greater Adelaide metropolitan area.

Other technological advances such as Teleconferencing are providing alternatives to using motor vehicles as a tool to progress our business priorities, and contributing to a better environment for all.
