Including the closely related term carbon saving.
… corporate property between 2022-23 and 2023-24, carbon savings were only 8% because of a rise in the carbon intensity of UK grid electricity, which is beyond the Council’s control. If grid electricity had continued to decarbonise at the same rate as previous three years, the emissions from corporate property would have been 17% lower in 2023-24 than in 2022-23. This places a risk on the Council’s…
… decarbonisation plans. The carbon savings achieved from corporate property during 2023-24 are as a result of a continued focus on property rationalisation and improved monitoring and control of energy use. Further steady emission reductions in future years are expected from ongoing property rationalisation and improved energy management. However, achieving savings at the magnitude needed to achieve…
