… 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…

… 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…

… consumption from the operation of LBB’s buildings accounts for 58% of the total carbon emissions profile, comprising: electricity (22%) and gas (36%). To realise cost/energy/carbon savings it is imperative that the Council continues to improve the energy efficiency of the estate and move towards the use of low carbon energy sources for heating whenever feasible. As more buildings (heating…

… at strategic sites. Bases on the energy efficiency assessment findings, a planned upgrade programme will be developed that will in turn inform accurate carbon savings. 3.30 Initiative 3: 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY The most effective solution for reducing emissions is a rapid shift to 100% renewable electricity. Electricity associated emissions currently accounts for nearly 60% of LBB’s total net zero…
