…. This plan identifies where our current emissions come from and identifies many potential carbon reduction measures to increase our chance of staying within our carbon budget and meeting these targets. We are committed to working with the whole district to reduce emissions and there is an appreciation that far more resource and investment will be required to implement many of the actions and reach our…
… and other greenhouse gas emissions come from a variety of sources. Some are naturally occurring processes and others from activities in our homes, transport and businesses. Carbon emissions, especially those that we can measure, generally come from the use of energy for heating, vehicles, motors, machinery and appliances. Some of these, like traditional cars or gas boilers, have direct emissions…
… in the subsequent years. Instead, Blaby will aim to reduce emissions as quickly as possible to increase the chance of staying within our carbon budget and meeting our carbon neutral ambitions. To do this, emission reduction rates would have to be at or above 14.2% per year. This is the rate of emissions reduction required each year to reduce emissions to the point when cumulative emissions up to 2100…
… remain below 5% of Blaby’s total carbon budget, and acknowledges the technical challenges behind removing all emissions. Negative emissions technologies and offsetting could be used to neutralise remaining emissions. Using tools, such as SCATTER15 the depth and breadth of carbon reduction interventions required to get to carbon neutral will be identified. This will provide us with an idea…
… of comprehensive actions to reduce our carbon emissions, with the headline being to hit the net zero target by 2030 for the Council’s activities. In simple terms, this document: Establishes a framework for reducing carbon emissions Sets out what our current ‘baseline’ carbon emissions are (or ‘carbon footprint’), so we know where we are starting from and can set meaningful targets…
