Including 6 closely related terms such as energy use, energy efficiency, and efficiency.
… and from 2007 to 2010 it adopted a Climate Change Strategy. This too was a rolling programme with an annually updated series of projects. Some noticeable items in the original 2007 document that have been successfully implemented include: the Combined Heat and Power plant at GL1 An energy efficient new depot at Eastern Avenue A Car Club for Gloucester City residents A turbine on Alney island…
… action. The list is not comprehensive but covers some of the main elements that are likely to form part of a Climate Change strategy. 3.10 Reduce emissions/energy efficiency Clearly the drive and first port of call should be to reduce emissions from our estate, and by the City as a whole. This can be achieved through the use of energy efficient appliances such as LED lights, or ensuring heat…
… to an anaerobic digester where it is made into gas and fertilizer. There are other fuels such as hydrogen that can be made from water or indeed fossil derived gas. As long as the energy used to make them is low carbon, then they are low carbon fuels. Hydrogen is certainly put forward by some as the fuel of the future. 3.13 Adaptation Even if we stopped carbon emissions tomorrow, the earth would still warm…
…’ energy efficiency/renewable projects will be judged on a case by case basis, but to be supported should broadly deliver a simple pay-back period of less than 10 years. Clearly some projects will have more risk than others and this will need to be built into the equation. 9.2 There is also a need for some detailed consultant input into what can be a very technical exercise and some up front seed…
… and the need to reduce emissions as well as adapt to a changing climate. Back in 2001 it adopted the Nottingham Declaration on Climate Change and later that year it adopted its own Agenda 21 (Sustainable Development Strategy). This was a project-based document and was rolled forward on an annual basis. Moving into the new century, the City Council put forward an annual Energy Management strategy…
