… the council may have grown. There are four categories of carbon dioxide2 reductions to consider whilst setting targets: 1. Passive Reductions – these are carbon reductions that would happen without any action needed by the organisation e.g., the decarbonisation of the electricity grid will gradually reduce the carbon emissions associated with the electricity you use and purchase. 2. Market…

External Reductions – carbon compensation/offsetting to reduce emissions external to your own footprint to reduce your Net emissions. Figure 1 shows this recommended approach applied to Rushmoor Borough Council’s emissions to 2050. The Passive Reductions assume: - Electricity Grid emissions will reduce…
… linearly to zero by 2035 (which is the UK’s target to achieve zero carbon emissions electricity grid). Note: the grid emissions have reduced by approximately 50% over the last 5-6 years on a tCO2e per kWh basis. - Rushmoor Borough Council’s crematorium site will continue to require natural gas consumption for its operations, past 2035. - Car & van emissions will transition to being 100…
