… a climate and ecological emergency making its pledge to become a carbon-neutral Council by 2030. The decision was taken at a meeting of Full Council on 26 June 2019. 1.2. What will the Plan set out? The Carbon Action Plan now sets out the Council’s pathway for how it will achieve its target of carbon neutral. It will: Present a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions account as a baseline…

…) and a single emission factor that accounts for this mix is used for grid electricity. This average grid factor decreases as more renewable sources connect in to the grid, resulting in the long-term reduction in Scope 2 emissions for all grid electricity users. In the medium to longer-term, opportunities to direct-source clean, zero-carbon energy will be investigated by the Council to maximise its…
