About Us
Carbon & Energy Reductions (Australia) was the result of a vision shared by two men with long-established experience and involvement in energy and electricity retailing.
With the growing emphasis and increased focus worldwide on reduction of carbon emissions, Dean Stehling and James McElhinney saw a need for a full-service local manufacturing company that could offer innovative, energy-conserving products and services to Australian companies looking to reduce their carbon footprint, but still be able to operate efficiently.
While C&ER products are environmentally friendly, they are all designed to offer maximum efficiency and long operating lives. C&ER adopts best practices procedures with integrity and professionalism.
DEAN STEHLING, CEO
Dean has over 25 years experience in sales and marketing, specifically in energy and electricity retailing and has been at the forefront of industry de-regulations and the restructuring of Australia’s gas and electricity markets.
Prior to co-founding C&ER, Dean held senior management positions in sales and marketing with Joule Energy and Jackgreen Energy in the power and energy market.
JAMES McELHINNEY
James has a similar background to Dean, gained working in sales and marketing across a wide range of markets and industries throughout Australia and Asia for the past 25 years.
