… to identify priority areas for action. • Analysis of potential future emissions pathways to raise awareness of the scale and extent of action required for the council to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025. Cheshire East Borough wide current and future emissions • Generation of the most recent year inventory of direct and indirect emissions using SCATTER tool (Scope 1 & 2) to provide a baseline from…

The only variable changed is the electricity grid carbon intensity. This tracks the BEIS Energy and Emissions Projections. This analysis shows 2 key things: • Emissions…

… of the electricity grid. This still requires a significant level of effort locally. • Science based budget is based on climate science rather than tangible energy supply and demand measures used in SCATTER. This pathway is one way of allocating a finite carbon budget (the area underneath). Alternatively the same budget would last 7 years at current emission levels. This is beyond the current, statutory…

… estimate that identifying carbon impacts/benefits in decisions may achieve a 2% reduction in emissions per annum, which is equivalent to 1,500 tCO2e. 7 Staff may be more likely to support more ambitious policies and investment decisions to reduce carbon. Reduces the risk that lower carbon attributes are ‘value engineered’ out solely on cost, if carbon is more formally embedded…
