… carbon. Zero emission technologies such as wind turbines, solar panels, heat pumps and electric cars can generate electricity, heat and provide transportation without any need for fossil fuels. They offer a plausible route to achieve net zero emissions of greenhouse gases. Air pollution is often also caused by the combustion of fossil fuels, however it is usually due to very small quantities…
… Zero Carbon 2050 Greenhouse gas emissions for North West Leicestershire showing the ‘carbon gap’ between business as usual and net zero carbon. Emissions from North West Leicestershire have fallen significantly due to the replacement of coal and gas fired-electricity generation with wind turbines and solar panels across the UK. Buildings and transport now need to see major…

…. Emissions are dominated by transport, buildings and industrial installations. 86% of transport emissions are from road travel (about a third of this is motorway traffic). 69% of building emissions are from non- domestic buildings. 57% of building emissions are from heating energy. The net reductions from forestry and land use in the region absorbing carbon is relatively low…
