… aim for net zero by 2050 with emissions reduced by 45% by 2030. At a national policy level, the Climate Change Act 2008 set a legally binding, UK -wide carbon emissions reduction target of 80% by 2050 from a 1990 baseline with emission reductions divided into interim five-yearly targets. However, in its Progress Report to Parliament in June 2018, the Committee on Climate Change (CCC…
… 229.54 Tonnes CO2e 14.35% of total emissions “(THE HOUSE OF COMMONS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE) HAS INDICATED THAT IT EXPECTS REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW POWER GENERATION CAPACITY TO BE MET THROUGH OFFSHORE WIND POWER, NUCLEAR POWER AND GAS-FIRED POWER WITH CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE. THERE IS HOWEVER CONSIDERABLE RISK THAT THESE TECHNOLOGIES MAY NOT PROVIDE THE GENERATION CAPACITY…
… a standard methodology for measuring CO2e emissions. Section 3 collates and analyses current emissions data (electricity, heating fuel, fleet/business travel and water consumption/wastewater processing) for calendar year 2019 (or approximate data where the information is not available) from the Council’s operations under Scope 1 - direct emissions, 2 - indirect emissions and 3 - all other…
…) found that: ► The UK’s greenhouse gas emissions have reduced by 43% compared to 1990 levels. Since 2012 seventy-five percent of the emission reductions have come from the power sector while security of supply has been maintained and average energy bills have fallen. 11 ► The transport sector (27% of UK territorial emissions) was significantly off track from the cost…
… or Carbon Capture and Storage. As a consequence of the new 2050 target, a tempting solution for any organisation is to maintain their current practices and wait for both the gas and electricity grids to be decarbonised by 2050 and therefore their carbon emissions would fall by virtue of the change in the source of the energy they consume. Tewkesbury Borough Council’s target relates…
