Personal background
My name is Ion Luceanu and I am a freelance consultant in Net Zero and Sustainability. Luceanu Consultancy is my trade name.
I started off on this journey in 2024, after completing a sustainability course called Green Advantage at Aston University in Birmingham.
Before that I worked in Public Administration for 6 years and then for 9 years in Accounting in the Private Sector. Though it might sound like my experience has nothing to do with sustainability and net zero, I actually acquired a lot of valuable knowledge in these roles.
- I’ve dealt with applications for EU funding (in the past) and Government grants more recently, with the latest one being for a Net Zero grant through the Shared Prosperity Fund
- I organised the procurement of wall and roof insulation, solar panels, LED lighting and other projects meant to increase the energy efficiency for my employers
- I know how to monitor the energy wholesale market and find very good deals for gas, electricity & water supply, as well as electricity export. I am not a broker (I don’t get commissions). I will act in your best interest by providing advice and/ or doing the admin work for your business
I always had a keen interest in protecting the environment, understanding the effects of human activity on it and ultimately observing how these changes affect us. While I believe that it is important that we each contribute personally through small gestures such as recycling, using public transportation or turning down our central heating by a degree or 2, I want to do more. We now live in uncertain times when the effects of climate change are more serious every year but also exciting times as there is a shift in Government’s and Private Sector’s attitude. We don’t have just words from them anymore, but there is a lot of action too: investment and policies.
