… renewable energy generation. It is important to note, however, that carbon offsetting is not enough to achieve the net zero target on its own – success relies on maximising demand reduction and renewable electricity generation as a high priority. The detailed recommendations from the study are set out in an action plan which aims to support the Councils in delivering the intervention measures…
… mileage; 4. Switch from petrol and diesel vehicles to ULEV (electric or hydrogen) vehicles; and finally 5. Offset residual CO2e emissions to reach the net zero target. Note that this trajectory is purely illustrative and is intended to provide an estimate of the amount of low and zero carbon (LZC) electricity generation or carbon offsetting that would be required. 16 Department for Transport…
… up for through renewable electricity generation and carbon offsetting. For context, this would require around: 17 MW of ground-mounted PV (i.e. solar farms totalling around 85-90 acres of land); or 6 MW of large-scale onshore wind (3-6 large turbines); or Approximately 575 hectares…
