Of these industrial emissions, Derbyshire’s large industrial installations, such as the mineral products…

… to reduce emissions further, the modelling undertaken suggests that, for the four sources measured and reported, there will be a potential shortfall in the necessary emissions reduction of 7,160 tonnes CO2e by 2031-32. Over 50% of these residual emissions will be from the Council’s corporate estate. 2.10 Reducing Council emissions by the necessary amount to achieve net zero by 2032, or sooner…

… target of 2032, or sooner, and the County’s net zero target of 2050, and the challenges being faced to reduce emissions from corporate property, streetlighting, core fleet and grey fleet. 2. Information and Analysis Background 2.1 As set out in the Corporate Environment Policy and the Climate Change Strategy, the Council has established a net zero target for its estate…

…). The Council’s net zero target includes four sources of emissions: • Corporate property (gas, electricity, oil and propane use) – excluding schools • Streetlighting (electricity use) • Core fleet (mileage) • Grey fleet (mileage) 2.4 Carbon emissions from the Council estate and operations (the above four sources combined) have fallen by 7% between 2022-23 and 2023-24, from 12,624 tonnes…
