Including the closely related term carbon saving.
… of the project has developed and quantified a list of carbon reduction opportunities that could be implemented by Boston Borough Council. • The opportunities identified have been guided by the analysis of the carbon footprint hotspots, in order to make sure that projects with the greatest carbon saving potential are suggested. • Furthermore, individual discussions with particular areas of the council have…
… suggested that a strategy for decarbonising leased buildings is developed. • The following pages outline the main focus areas for the carbon reduction opportunities as well as the quantified data of energy and carbon savings, potential capital cost, simple payback period and suggested year to implement. • All opportunities identified should undergo a feasibility and technical assessment before…
…. This “greening of the grid” makes electrification of transport and heating an attractive option from a carbon reduction perspective and electrification should be a priority. • The carbon savings potential of projects outlined in this report are reported in terms of savings today and savings in recommended implementation year. For projects which reduce electricity consumption, i.e energy efficiency…

… of installation. However, the carbon savings will be greater in the near term while the grid is still relatively carbon intensive. • A fuel switching project, one that result sin moving from a fossil fuel to electricity (such as fleet electrification), will result in greater carbon savings in the future compared to the present day – this is because the difference in emission factors between a fossil fuel…
