Local authorities in Scotland are required to publish yearly data on their compliance with their climate change duties – including the emissions reduction projects they are undertaking.
10 hydrogen- fuelled vehicles currently in operation. Estimated carbon savings in 2017/18 was 460tCO2.
These projects aren't fully detailed as that information isn't collated in one place yet.
7 multi-storey blocks in Seaton to be over-clad to improve energy efficiency. Covers period 2016-2018. Anticipated 477 tCO2e saving. Will reduce emissions associated with heating the building.
From 2016-2023. Estimated 4,366 tCO2e over 7 years. Over one third of the city’s street lighting stock has been converted to LED. Project expected to be completed end of 2019.
Thermal imaging was undertaken on 6,000 properties during 2016. This information was loaded onto the web and householders were encouraged to view it and seek advice on energy efficiency measures. Interest was high but follow up was low.
Vans are still using a temporary hydrogen supply therefore not fully utilised yet. Once the second H2 refuelling station is operational (Q4 2016) the vehicles will be fully tested.
- Additional 9 vehicles added during the reporting year 2015/2016 (38 vehicles) compare to 2014/2015 (29 vehicles). - Additional 119 employees signed in the Co-wheels Car Club during reporting year 2015/2016 (588 employees compare to 2014/2015 (469 employees)
Increased charging points for electric vehicles from 58 in 2014/2015 to 62 in 2015/2016 with additional 4 charging points.
From 2016-2023. Estimated 4,366 tCO2e over 7 years.
Will save both diesel and petrol emission.
7 multi-storey blocks in Seaton to be over-clad to improve energy efficiency. Covers period 2016-2018. Anticipated 477 tCO2e saving. Will reduce emissions associated with heating the building. The project is estimated to be on track for completion in 2018.
