Over 150 attend FEA’s Embodied Carbon webinar

Association launches Embodied Carbon Hub

More than 150 industry professionals attended the FEA’s webinar on embodied carbon on 28th April 2025, with representatives from all sectors of the foodservice equipment industry, including manufacturers, dealers, designers and consultants.  The Webinar launched the FEA’s new Embodied Carbon Hub; web pages containing resources that explain the industry’s hot topic of embodied carbon. At launch the new Hub includes two complementary guides to this critical subject, one covering the basics and the second giving technical details. 

Webinar attendees saw presentations from FEA leaders and embodied carbon experts from CIBSE, the Chartered Institution of Building Service Engineers.  As well as giving insight into the subject, they explained the workings of TM65, CIBSE’s tool for measuring embodied carbon.  A lively discussion and Q&A session looked at, amongst other things, the potential for a version of TM65 designed specifically for catering equipment.   

John Cunningham, chief executive of FEA, chaired the webinar.  He said, “The industry has been abuzz with talk about embodied carbon, what it is, why we need to understand it and how we generate reliable embodied carbon figures for individual products and equipment.  The issue has become heated, largely due to misunderstandings and misinformation. 

“So today’s webinar was a great opportunity to share FEA’s new Embodied Carbon Hub, two new guides that we have developed providing clear and unbiased information, and to hear directly from CIBSE about TM65.” 

Anastasia Mylona (pictured), CIBSE’s technical director, was one of the presenters.  She said, “TM65 is becoming widely used within the commercial catering sector and we were delighted to be invited to join FEA’s webinar to better explain the methodology and CIBSE’s services. There was huge interest and lots of questions, we will continue to work with FEA going forward to help support its members and the wider catering equipment sector.”

Kieran O’Brien from the CIBSE Certification team also presented during the webinar, providing a useful outline of CIBSE’s Embodied Carbon Verification service, explaining the process and providing indicative costs.

The two guides are available from the Embodied Carbon Hub on FEA’s website, which also has links to other resources including TM65 and advice from CIBSE.
