… profile emissions, whilst gas emissions accounts for 36%. Procuring 100% renewable energy therefore offers the most impactful opportunity for carbon reduction – a potential 96% reduction – by allowing LBB to discount all their energy emissions. Approximately 25-30% of the national grid’s electricity comes from renewables (not to be confused with zero-carbon electricity that includes nuclear…

… down the Council’s direct emissions as far as possible, whilst initiatives 5 to 8 will be assessed to determine the best mix for offsetting the Council’s remaining residual emissions. 3.26 The Carbon Management Team (CMT) will take a pragmatic approach by initially focusing on a mixture of projects offering the greatest and best value for money carbon reductions. However, over the life…

… 3.1 The Executive established a Carbon Management Programme (CMP) in 2008 to take action to reduce energy consumption, revenue costs and carbon emissions. 3.2 Since 2008/09, LBB’s Carbon Management Team has quantified the Council’s emissions each year, following the guiding principles of the internationally recognised World Resources Institute’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol Corporate…

… that the council reaches net zero carbon emissions by 2029. Essentially, this means reducing emissions produced by the Council to zero in order to achieve carbon neutrality. 3.6 A 2029 Net Zero Carbon Strategy was reviewed and approved at the Environment and Community Services Policy Development and Scrutiny (ECS PDS) Committee meeting on 29th January 2020, where it was also agreed that an action plan…

… areas. 3.18 LBB’s carbon emissions is a continually moving number due to varying factors such as a changing national grid mix (with more renewables-generated energy becoming available) and carbon reductions achieved from ongoing projects (e.g. the more streetlights upgraded to LED, the fewer emissions). Hence, the ten-year action plan will remain fluid and evolve over time. 3.19 Various factors…
