… Borough Council, to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. 16 The recommended West Lancashire carbon targets to be adopted include: The recommended energy only CO2 carbon budget for the West Lancashire area for the period of 2020 to 2100 is 4.0 MtCO2. To put this in perspective, at 2017 CO2 emission levels, West Lancashire would use this entire budget within 6 years…
… 1. Stay within a maximum cumulative carbon dioxide emissions budget of 4.0 million tonnes (MtCO2) for the period of 2020 to 2100. 2. Initiate an immediate programme of CO2 mitigation to deliver cuts in emissions averaging a minimum of -14.0% per year. 3. Reach a zero or near zero carbon Borough no later than 2040. 17 6.0 Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan 2030 6.1…
… with this project, it would be a significant undertaking, demonstrating commitment and leadership to tackling climate change and preparing for a low carbon future. The Council also recognises that decarbonisation of the Councils fleet will play a large part in achieving our carbon neutrality aspirations. Initial actions towards achieving this are set out in Priority 3: Reducing Emissions from Transport…
