… to guide delivery. It will also set out appropriate milestones to make the Council’s activities carbon neutral by 2030. To this end, ClearLead were instructed by the Council to: • engage with the Council to understand its work on Climate Change Strategy through the cross-party Climate Change Working Group • calculate the Council’s carbon emissions and thereby its carbon footprint • identify…
… • Electricity use • Grey fleet (staff’s private vehicles used on Council business and reimbursed through expenses) The purpose of calculating the carbon footprint is: • To establish an appropriate baseline for measurement of energy use and carbon emissions, and to derive a suitable benchmark against which future emissions can be compared • To determine carbon “hotspots”, hence areas on which…

We have included the following emissions within the overall carbon footprint: • Electricity: Direct emissions from generation, plus transmission & distribution (T&D, grid loss) emissions and well-to-tank (WTT, upstream emissions associated with extracting and processing combustion fuel prior to generation) • Natural gas: Direct emissions from…
… responsible. 3.5.2 Waste and recycling collection Many of the Council’s waste collection activities are outsourced to Serco. Again, these emissions are not included in DDDC’s direct carbon footprint given above. Data for the activities has not been made available and ClearLead therefore cannot calculate them; however, we recommend calculating and tracking emissions from outsourced activities…
