Aerospace Manufacturing

The aerospace sector is under increasing pressure to balance growth, competitiveness, and environmental responsibility. With ambitious Net Zero targets and rising scrutiny from regulators, OEMs and suppliers alike must cut emissions, control costs, and ensure compliance, without compromising safety or innovation.

Businesswise Solutions has a proven track record of supporting aerospace manufacturers with tailored energy strategies that reduce consumption, improve efficiency, and deliver measurable savings.

Businesswise Solutions actively supports the North West Aerospace Alliance with energy and net zero services.

North West Aerospace Alliance

Aerospace contributes 13% to UK GHG emissions

The UK aerospace industry GHG emissions amounts to nearly 35 million tonnes of CO2. This includes emissions from international flights, domestic flights and aerospace manufacturing.

30% reduction in emissions per passenger since 2005

This indicates a significant improvement in emissions efficiency largely due to advancements in aircraft technology and the replacement of older planes with more efficient models.

Jet Zero strategy targets 45% emissions cut by 2050

Key focus areas of the UK government’s strategy include enhancing system efficiency, developing sustainable aviation fuels, and addressing non-CO2 emissions.

Strategic energy procurement and bureau services

Aerospace businesses operate in a highly volatile energy market where fixed contracts can limit flexibility and add unnecessary cost.

Our expert trading team helps aerospace manufacturers secure smarter, more resilient procurement strategies. From risk-managed flexible contracts to comprehensive bureau services, we ensure your energy portfolio works harder for your bottom line.

An aerospace engineering manufacturer adopted a flexible buying strategy, achieving savings of around 50% compared to a fixed contract. This flexible strategy continues to deliver savings.

Total energy management

For aerospace manufacturers, energy efficiency goes beyond cost control, it impacts production uptime, sustainability credentials, and future competitiveness. Our Energy Management as a Service (EMaaS) integrates monitoring, analysis, and optimisation to deliver continuous improvement.

From machine-level data insights to group-wide reporting, we help you understand consumption patterns, identify inefficiencies, and take action that drives real savings.

Installing 31 Energy Insights sensors across multiple aerospace sites helped one manufacturer uncover over £175,000 in savings within the first year.

Supporting the aerospace industry with energy and carbon compliance

Carbon reduction is not optional, it’s a regulatory requirement and a key driver of aerospace customer contracts.

Our compliance team helps aerospace businesses navigate government schemes and relief, ensuring obligations are met while maximising available reliefs and incentives.

Our compliance team are experts in:

  • SECR
  • CCA / CCL
  • ESOS
  • ESG policy
  • Energy Intensive Relief

We helped a aerospace components manufacturer secure £270k in carbon tax relief through detailed data analysis, reporting, and timely submission. This ensured full compliance while protecting profitability. Our bureau team will continue to validate invoices, ensuring the manufacturer will receive their savings correctly.
